Didn’t the ICE have a program last year for free rides back to their home countries, and no one showed up to take them up on it? When they can look forward to BO making them all eligible for US taxpayer-financed welfare, why in the world should they not “hang on”?

A few may just leave, but unfortunately most will stay, sucking up the overly generous benefits granted them by idiot government and voters who seem not to “get it.” I’d drive them all back across the border if I could find them. Actually, some of them hang around various places here in the Valley and in LA looking for someone to pick them up for “day work.” They urinate and worse on those properties and those of surrounding owners. NOT good! There have been many complaints about this for YEARS.
The San Fernando Valley looks like the worst of Tijuana these days; and has done so for MANY years now — really sad as it used to be a nice place to live. I should know, I’ve been here most of my life and I’m a “senior” now.
One of the biggest problems is the amazing amount of services they use, bankrupting the hospital ERs and such. They get the flu, off to the ER for free treatment they go. And then the ERs close for lack of funds. They manage to get for free better health care than those of us paying high prices for lousy health “insurance.” Again, I should know — I worked for a major health insurer and saw the claims and payments — so much spent on these undocumented types, costs picked up courtesy of the legitimate citizens/taxpayers.
No point in speaking about the schools in L.A. Virtually NO middle class children attend the public schools in any areas other than a couple of schools in very high end areas. A friend is a teacher in elementary grades and says it’s worse each year — he is BABYSITTING, nothing else. The immigrant’s kids, born here or not, cannot seem to learn; education is NOT stressed by their families.
Then there’s the huge amount of gang warfare going on nonstop — helicopters circle day and night — and home and auto break-ins are constantly attributed to this group. Since the economy tanked a few months ago you would not believe the increase in crimes by illegals. Tens of thousands of “them” are also incarcerated in CA prisons. Why are we supporting this scourage?!
Let’s not forget their gang and wannabee gang graffiti — other people who try to paint it out are often shot these days and we are admonished to let the City of LA anti-graffiti teams handle it.
We now have a firearm, a big dog, alarm system and are active in our local neighborhood watch. And we’re in a relatively “good” area of the southeast SF Valley!
Family and friends are still in L.A. area or we’d move — but we like the weather and grew up here and why should we be the ones to move? Enough already — I hope they all leave and don’t look back. But undoubtedly they are just whining — no matter how bad they might think things are for them now, it’s 99% better than what they’d find in their homelands. Most won’t go anywhere...
