My area, a VERY dark blue, hardcore Democrat area, in Maryland, the people who have been hit hardest by illegal immigration are blacks. Entire neighborhoods, schools, and small businesses owned and run by black people have been replaced by illegals. You know all those sex offenders that have been making the news lately in Maryland, or that 14 year old girl who was hacked to death by MS13 members and dumped in a creek back during the summer? Yeah, that's my area. Funny how an increase in crime is also correlated with areas that harbor illegals. I remember going to the schools here. They were 80-90% black, 5-10% white, and 0-5% "other". Now they're like 80-90% Hispanic. And all the while this is happening, my taxes are going through the roof and American citizens, black and white, are "flighting" from the area. The only reason I remain is because DC is an incredible area in terms of job opportunities.
Wanna know what my last property tax was? $5000. Five-fucking-thousand. Wanna know what it was the year before? $4000. A 25% increase. In one year. 10 years ago it was about $2800. And that's just property tax. If illegals immigrants are paying all these taxes like some suggest, then how come wherever they go en masse, the taxes of American CITIZENS rise exponentially?
Then dickheads like Skinned barge in with their usual "blah blah blah, lazy white people and stuff, blah blah blah". Bullshit. I took a second job about 5 years ago at a new Window manufacturing company. The jobs were paying going rates for the work AND provided benefits. White, black, and LEGAL Hispanic people lined up for the jobs. However, as the years went on, they started laying off people while hiring more PART-TIME Hispanics who could barely speak fluent English. Nobody dared to speak up about it, but most of the original employees knew what was up. This was so they didn't have to provide benefits to them.
Sorry if I come off as sounding angry, but it's because I am. I am tired of the bullshit peddled from people like Skinned. According to them, everything is honky dory and illegal immigration is nothing but a boon to our nation that only dumb, lazy white people are upset about. Fuck that. Maybe you'll get angry when it starts affecting you personally.
your rage is understandable. but you need to realize the businesses small and large that are exploiting illegal labor are owned by the same party crying about a crisis with illegals spilling across the border.
want something worthwhile? go to your representative and tell them, en masse, that you don't want a wall. you want their donors who exploit the labor to be stopped. right now those GOP congressmen are cheering on a wall so they can avoid passing measures to cut down on illegal labor. and the politicians are getting paid to look the other way.
the GOP flosses people for cash in these situations. they sell contractor contracts on the border on the hysteria, then never stop the basic things that can help americans. instead they spend all day talking about the need for IDs to vote, as if that helps your property taxes.
