And they multiply quickly which makes it worse every year...
When I was growing up in El Paso in the 50’s, there seemed to be a lot of illegals on roofing crews, building houses, and putting up stone wall fences around propety. I remember hearing that there were as many as 10 - 20 million illegals in the whole country, which seemed like a whole lot of people despite the large numbers I saw around every day. There were several El Paso radio stations, and the only Spanish one was a station that broadcast from across the border. Billboards were in English, and English was spoken everywhere throughout the city.
Fast forward to now, and I am still hearing that 10-20 million number, while El Paso is nearly all Hispanic all the time. Billboards and radio stations are in Spanish. There are whole areas of town where commerce is done in Spanish. As of the census of 2010 -— Ethnically, the city was: Hispanic or Latino (of any race) – 80.7%. That’s quite a big change since the 50’s.
OK, so we spend 150 billion EVERY YEAR to keep the illegals, or we spend a ONE TIME a paltry 12 billion to build a fence. Anyone see an obvious solution here ?
