Illegal immigration corrupts our ENTIRE legal system. You hve to create an entire class of laws that can be broken with impunity by a privileged class (of aliens no less). Laws that go by the wayside include: minimum wage, OHSHA, workers compensation, drivers license residence verification, identity theft (of SS numbers), moving vehicle violations (Mexicans with no identity or address simply don't show up to court), college residency requirements (see Arkansas), HUD home financing, the immigration laws themselves (including slavery, human trafficking and child worker laws), welfare qualifications, etc. etc.

Bush et. al. have no idea how terrible a path they have us on.

Don't forget how the illegals are skewing the economy. Wages for lesser-skilled citizens and legal residents are artificially suppressed because the illegals in the same job market don't dare complain about it. Wherever illegals take a foothold in our neighborhoods property values go down. Add the costs of the illegals' social services spread out over the taxpayers; money they earned that is taken away and redistributed to people who shouldn't be here at all.

Cultural costs are almost never considered, either. The neighborhoods I mentioned almost always suffer from higher crime, vandalism, noise pollution and parking space congestion. Satellite dishes sprout like mushrooms in defiance of codes so illegals can remain insulated from English language and American customs. Signs become cluttered with Spanish reiterations where all preceding "immigrants" were fully expected to learn English.

I'd go on but I have to go look for an affordable apartment where I no longer have to deal with these atrocities on a daily basis.
