I was specifically pleased to see for the first time something I have noticed myself: strangely enough, illegal immigrants that come from Latin America often bring to the US the same wacko leftist beliefts that have been impoverishing and destroying their countries for years. Yet, instead of coming here and acknowledging the benefits of a (relatively) economically free society, they want to turn the USA into a leftist cesspool similar to the one they were forced to leave behind.

Heaven help us if George Bush and other immigration "locos" embark on a mass legalization/nationalization of these individuals. Once they get the right to vote, these formerly illegal immigrants will be electing people to office that will make Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi look like right-wing nuts!

Couldn't agree more—but why do our politicians refuse to do anything about it?

To the Democrats, it's future voters after the next amnesty—to the Republicans, it's cheap labor . . . and the middle and lower classes in America get screwed. How else can you explain the meat-packing plants in the Midwest paying half of what they paid 20 years ago?

I have found the same thing with respect to illegal alien responsibility, it's nonexistent. I too was T-boned, they switched drivers, I saw them, the police simply did not want to hear it, and gave the ticket to the wrong person. When the case came for dispo, I told the prosecutor that they had the wrong guy, I was not going to lie about it. The case had to be dismissed.

I have seen similiar instances with my clients' cases, they simply leave. I am a former prosecutor and have been a practicing attorney for over 30 years, I know the law.

It is the same here in Georgia outside of Atlanta. Most of Gwinnett County, much of DeKalb County, south Cobb County, and most of the major towns in Cobb, Cherokee County, etc. have been simply overrun by a Hispanic invasion. Most of these are here illegally.

Starter-home neighborhoods have become boarding houses for illegals and crime and gangs are widespread.

My own neighborhood changed almost overnight with almost a third of the houses being bought by investors (including next door) and turned into illegal boarding houses for illegal labor. I moved from Gwinnett to the exurbs (as many of my former neighbors have) and figure I lost about $5,000 in the sale price of my home due to the decline in the community brought by the change in both demographics and culture. I have visited that community from time to time since 2004, and it has only gotten worse.

There is a wholesale destruction of the culture of this country and no different if it had been done by a invading army, only that this government and the elites that depend on illegal labor seem to welcome this invasion.

I agree with your observations completely. What's interesting is that as a US ex-pat living here in Mexico I feel safer than in much of urban USA. While many Mexicans choose to stay in the US many also find the overwhelming commercialism of the US hard to take and move back home. I've talked to numerous Mexicans who went NOB and after some time returned to Jalisco.

When I go into Guadalajara, it's becoming more like Socal every day, too many new cars on the roads, the malls are full of US restaurant chains, and senoritas that look like they just came off the boardwalk in Venice (I'm not complaining!). If the rest of Mexico was like Jalisco state, they'd be staying home and prospering. Sadly the Mexican government isnt doing much for the "blue states" in southern Mexico where there's mucho poverty, poor living conditions, and not many prospects for improvement. If AMLO had won the presidential election last year things would be of course way worse than they are and the US would be looking at a Venezuela right next door.

There are entirely new tracts of homes, bulit by Lennar, DR Horton, and Lennox Homes, in the Central Valley, such as Bakersfield, CA, where the streets show the telling signs of gang evolution as the paint dries on the stucco walls of new homes. Families from the northern towns such as Salinas, Watsonville, Hollister, and from the south especially from Oxnard, Pacioma, Lancaster, have driven to Bakersfield in search of purchasing a new home. As a result, nearly every single new development is wrapped in gang graffiti and a sharp rise in violence and crime in the newly established areas. In essence, brand-new gang territories are being cultivated alongside the freshly marked trenches for new housing in the central valley.

This is giving way to a new, modern suburban ghetto community that sprang up overnight. This will lead to more crowded, underperforming schools, more crime, more Hispanic gang proliferation. It is no longer tied to urban or rural locations in California. This trend has led to a new suburban market throughout the Central Valley as more Hispanic families gain in income power and work themselves into homeownership (and this is another story that will come forth in the next 1-2 years, I think, as you hear about the massive mortgage fraud committed in the Hispanic community from the home buying frenzy of the last 2-5 years.)
