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.

We have a complex on the block where the illegals residents spray painted a BIG "BASURA" on the dumpster so they'd know where to dump their trash.

And I picked up an "Army of One" brochure at the corner store written solamente in Español. No English brochures were present. I'm wondering how valuable it is to have an Army that doesn't speak the language.

IMO, this is one of the ways we have let this get out of hand. We simply move and let them take over large areas. By the time we really deal with this problem, it may be too late.
