If your city was up against the Mexican border and you had tens of thousands of illegals in your city costing the tax payers tens of millions of dollars you wouldn't make such a stupid comment.
Why don't you leave you doors open at night so others can come into your home and eat your food, use your credit cards or money, etc.
I don't know why California and some other locals have so much reported difficulty, but I have never actually witnessed it.
I have witnessed some cultural problems, such as trashy property, and some rather strange behaviors that seem to be related to bringing their habits here, and having to learn new ones, but that learning is occurring.
Come to think of it, every ethnic population that has ever immigrated into this country has historically had the same sort of problems. We have always dealt with them fairly, with some exceptions like the Irish.
What I see, is more American snobbery with foreign populations, and this is largely due to a crappy attitude about outsiders.
The fact is, that America needs these young backs for our labor pool, and since the opportunities are there, they come.
We have serious issues with uncontrolled numbers, and their legal legitimacy. This affects the process of cultural merging, blending and normalization that we call assimilation. T%his must be brought under control or we will have isolated cultural outcast populations that will indeed cause havoc, and I believe this is what you are referring to.
The problem has solutions that you and others are unwilling to do, and so you are actually responsible for the problems you now face.
As soon as you realize this, and act appropriately, you will mitigate these things over time.
I hope this addresses your incorrect assumptions that I don't understand what is going on, but I doubt you will accept my line of reasoning, and frankly, I don't care if you do, or don't because you have indeed lost this issue, and it is now out of your control. You are on the sidelines now, and that is why Immigration was a major factor in Republican defeats last November. The public has had enough of the rhetoric, and wants appropriate actions to be taken and the deadlock ended.
Now it shall be done, without your political participation which you so readily gave up.
