You might also try reading the posted article about effects on just one person involving "law abiding immigrants" of which you speak:

"......One of them is Kelly Walter, a Green Valley resident and staff member of the Green Valley News, who says she sees illegal immigrant activity on her property weekly. Protecting her home against illegal immigrant activity has cost her a total of $14,000 since she moved into her Country Club Vistas home five years ago, she said.

That cost includes a brick wall surrounding her back patio, a fence, a home security system, a motion-activated security light, and a garage where a carport used to be. She also replaced her windows and security doors two years ago after she had seen “illegal immigrants standing outside the front door at 2 in the morning, smoking cigarettes,” she said....."

First, that's a vast overreaction to a very very small percentage of the illegal alien population. Secondly, you aren't going to be able to make a general argument out of ONE specific story, or even 100. There are millions of illegals here. MOST by a LARGE amount are law abiding and productive. If they are working and productive, just $4000 a year of spending each more than makes them productive to the overall economy.

Immigrants are an easy target and they always have been. Jews, Italians, Polish, Irish, etc have all been maligned by those who are just too anxious to assign the bad acts of a few to the entire population.

I live in GA, 80% of men in prison are black. What does that mean about my black neighbor? NOTHING. I am just sick of the bullshit whining about illegals. I guarantee you that your house, your food and most of what you consume is cheaper and easier for you to obtain because of illegal workers.

Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.

Illegals are terrified of police action. Call the police a couple times and they are gone. If people would stop reacting like people with no sense they get along much better.
