That’s true for Hispanics, and American citizens. In my own small county in NC, the impact of a very large influx of illegal immigrants from Mexico primarily, has had mixed results. Many support them, many do not and for legitimate reasons. Drugs! The rates of drug related crime is way up, and it is is mostly tied to illegal immigrants.

To make a long story short, it does depend on where you are standing. Each part of the country has different experiences.

I wish I had the answer to the very complicated question of illegal immigration. I don’t. Don’t have a clue.

It may be perverse, rubber necking, wreckage looting, instant real time reality programming, but it is just TV, it is never live. It is all on tape. They make this shit up for you, the viewer.
