I'm from southern California. I moved here 6 years ago for a tech job so you can blame me for some of the deforestation and high cost of living.
In the "short" time I’ve been here I’m already seeing the same sings of decline that I lived through in California.
You locals have no idea what a bad gang problem is like.
You locals have no idea what a bad illegal immigration problem can do to a community.
I'm glad some of the people here recognize the problem.
I can go on and on about illegal immigration so I’ll highlight a few key things that people don't always think about.
higb_0x05's reasons for immigration problems.
6.) American corporations and the financial industry are undermining our immigration laws. Did you know illegal in this country can EASILY get a bank account at any major bank? Did you know banks are assigning them the equivalent of a SSN and letting illegal build a credit history?
5.) Politicians can't introduce bills to make it EASIER for the immigrants we WANT in this country because white middle class America is too stupid. We WAN'T English speaking PhD’s and people with master's degrees from India, etc, in this country. We NEED skilled nurses from the Philippines to move here. We make it too hard for skilled H1B visa workers to work here. They PAY taxes and obey the laws. It's just sad that we can't improve legal immigration without confusing rednecks.
4.) Americans who speak out against illegal immigration are labeled racist.
3.) Democrats can't get elected if they appear to be anti-Latino. Fact: the only party that has the GUTS to talk about immigration is the Green party.
2.) Republicans can't get elected if they appear to be anti-Latino. They have to look away and ignore the problem. If George W. appeared to be racist, he would never have been governor of Texas. If his brother appeared to be racist he would never have been governor of Florida. George W would not been elected to President without winning Florida or Texas.
1.) American greed. We HIRE undocumented people to fatten our own wallets. We are greedy. Then we complain that our schools are going to shit for having to educate illegals.
Here is what's to come for Nova and any other area that has their head's in the sand:
-Check cashing stores are a front for illegals. If your community starts to build check cashing stores you have a serious problem.
-Day laborer "Centers" attached to Home Depot and Lowes.
-Public education will start to cancel gifted and talented programs, music, arts, and sports to pay for rising ESL costs and state sponsored free lunch and immunization programs.
-Car insurance will go up do to the number of uninsured illegal
-Your mcmansion's will take a big hit in value when 4-5 families move into a 3 bedroom home after converting the garage.
-You will no longer be able to enjoy your local parks because they will be overrun by illegals who go there to escape their already cramped homes and lack of air conditioning.
-The ghetto bird is a real thing. Fairfax County will buy and fly their helicopter(s) EVERY night over your hood.
In my last few years in public school my report cards and school announcements came home in Spanish, and English was on the back.
ATTENTION CATHOLICS'! STOP FUCKING! USE CONDOMS!
While republicans and democrats dance around the illegal immigration issue our Mexican border remains a joke. Please dontate what you can:
