This may have been around for 30 years, but I can tell you that here in small town Indiana, you can't spit without hitting an illegal alien.

This has occurred mostly in the last 5 to 10 years.

The situation is growing worse.

In addition, here in my rather poor locale, there are MANY people making their living doing "jobs that Americans won't do" unless they have been displaced by illegals.

Unskilled and semi-skilled labor is taking a real hit, and people are getting fed up with it!

Sort of like NOLA where they are paying illegals $12 an hour to do "jobs American's won't do." /sarc

Indiana?? My God, now they have the midwest too.

Same here in Mid Michigan. I've been in the building business most of my life, but in the past 5 years the illegal aliens have become large numbers and have put a strain on the business. Between the contractors that work them and them out operating under the law themselves it has put many Americans out of work along with many contractors that would not work the illegals.

The same thing is happening in Kentucky. In the county where I grew up, there were no Mexicans until shortly after I started going to law school (late 90's). There are now three Mexican restaurants, all staffed by people of questionable citizenship, in that small town in the Appalachian mountains. In fact, one of the prosectors in the town was joking how four of them were arrested for public drunkeness/disorderly conduct last year. Their names? John Doe 1, 2, 3, and 4.
