Overrun by Illegals

My jurisdiction is being overrun by Illegals. Is anybody else having this problem??? I think that it's a nationwide problem. Check out these statistics.

Some of those statistics may be a bit misleading.

Might want to see the "Snopes" account on some of those statistics. Couldnt paste the whole thing, but the link is above.

Big problem here in North Carolina. I was going to post my true thoughts, but decided against doing so in the public area.

were being overrun by Canadians

Here in MN we have problems with Mexicans, Somalians, Mongs, and them friggen canadians. I think the Canadians are the worst cause they almost talk like us and they can be sneaky and try to claim their citizens.

I can only comment on what I see first hand, and that isn't very good.

You know it's bad when you see an interview with a day laborer, with a green card, complaining he can't get work because of the illegals willing to work for less.

I see the gross polluting vehicles that aren't registered. The numerous reports for stolen plates/tags (to conceal unregistered status)

When I worked in the schools, I saw the students in school that struggled:

Due to the language barrier. Many of the new wave of illegals don't speak Spanish, let alone English. They speak Indian dialects.

Lack of sleep, because they sleep in the living room, and Dad wants to stay up late to watch tv.

Because they were a girl considered old enough to stay home and take care of the younger children. Since girls don't need to be educated. I saw a 4th grader miss half the school year for this reason.

I also saw the rest of the class suffer because everything has to be taught at a lower level. Because of the "No Child Left Behind" Act, there are students at poor performing schools being given the option to transfer to higher performing schools. This, in turn, means students living in the better school's neighborhood are forced out, and have to be bused to yet another school.

And the next time you see a story about how people are picking on the poor day laborer standing on the corner, just waiting for a job, consider this: If they haven't been hired by 8am, they aren't going to get hired. What they then do, is spend the day drinking. I won't detail what that often leads to, but there are lots of unhappy people, and they call us.

The last time I was in MN, I used an ATM that offered Tagalog as an option for language. I'd never seen that before.

It's good to see the other side of the story. Here in Mexico all the news I get is when some illegal gets arrested for something everyone says they're picking on Mexicans again. It sounds like you have all the jerks, the ones that those in the interior would like to get rid of so we can have a slightly higher life style ourselves.

We have a slight problem here in TX. I heard AZ,NM and CA had the "occasional" illegal alien.
Enjoy these times now because in 10 years you will have to speak Spanish to get by.

It's a problem here too

On a recent trip through the SC upstate into NC, there were a few towns that would be pretty thoroughly depopulated by an ICE raid. Mostly farming type towns, but you couldn't go a half block without seeing signs in either English and Spanish, or just full Spanish. The towns looked like they'd been typical before, but then took a nosedive, and were littered with roadside cart stands and falling down storefronts.
