9 out of 10 new neighbors in our area are from California. They have moved out due to illegal immigration and its consequences. The contractor next door said all building trades there are basically illegals who do the work for next to nothing, displacing trades workers who have lived in California all their lives who have fled the invasion of illegals.
When we lived in Arizona, Mexican music poured out of radios in the new subdivisions being built. The houses went up so fast and were so poorly constructed tile buckled, drywalled ceilings and exterior stucco had huge cracks on many mnay homes, and everything was done on the fast-track because so many people were moving in and wanted a new home. Las Vegas is another city similarly affected by these workers who put more dollars in homebuilder's pockets at the price of building quality and displaced American carpenters, roofers, sheetrockers, plumbers, carpetlayers, tilers and asphalt and concrete workers.
If this deluge of workers hasn't hit your town yet, give it time. Like fast food, restaurant and hotel/motel workers, it'll eclipse you before you know what's happened.
I do hope the GOP ranks put a halt to this whirlpool evaporating our American cities into taco stands and payday loan companies on every other corner.

N.Y. Muslim group held at border
Carloads of Muslim New Yorkers, all U.S. citizens, were detained for hours by federal agents after they returned from an Islamic convention held in Toronto over the weekend.
A Pace University student said she was asked by a border patrol officer at the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge crossing whether the wire in her bra was a weapon. A white Flushing resident said U.S. officials refused to tell her why she was being held for eight hours.
