The average American has no idea how serious the situation is. I have a number of friends who do construction. They can't compete against the illegals. Each ethnic group has a specialty. For example, the Vietnamese do the hardwood floors. Illegals work off the books and don't pay taxes.

Yes, illegals do work off the books, and most don't pay taxes. You should see the construction industry here in California, you won't see many non-hispanic faces, and you won't hear much English spoken. They work for less than Americans can. 2 bedroom apartments house twenty people, something Americans don't usually do.

They have practically taken over many industries. Construction, Gardening, Nanny, Restaurant worker, Truck drivers, Office cleaning, the list goes on further. They are undercutting America's wages, and the mothers who have babies are collecting aid to dependent children. Hospitals and schools are overflowing. Some hospitals have closed. Now they want us to build new schools for the millions of new "citizens".

California is absolutely invaded, and Washington ignores it, in fact, encourages it.

In the last ten years I believe that millions of illegal aliens have come to southern California alone, and most of our elected idiots are Democrats, which blows Bush's idea that hispanics are conservatives. Most are not.
