How have illegals negatively affected your neighborhood?

[Sci Fi Fan]

I hear basically the same story from everyone everywhere. Once nice neighborhoods with neatly kept lawns and nice looking houses, everyone knows each other and goes to each others garage sales in the spring, it is safe for the kids to play in the neighborhood, and crime is almost unheard of. Then a few neighbors move out for various reasons, and those houses are sold or more often rented out to illegals. Now the kids are bullied by the anchor kids, the once nice houses are run down, lawns are not mowed, garbage is left everywhere, crime is up, loud music blares at all hours of the day and night, property taxes go up to pay for graffiti and damage to public property, and property value goes down as the neighborhood is now a Mexican ghetto. And you don't go out your door unless you are carrying a gun. So, sound familiar? I knew a lady who lived in a nice neighborhood, until it became an illegal ghetto, and she was the only one left in the neighborhood from when they built it. The rest were all illegals. She kept to herself, but had to put up with cops chasing criminals through her yard, often damaging her property. Her noisy rude illegal neighbors threw garbage in her lawn every day which she had to pick up herself, she did not even complain until they started throwing dirty used diapers outside her living room window to stink in the hot summer sun. When she phoned them to ask if they would pick them she was laughed at and later had rocks thrown through her window. Again she kept to her self as even her own family begged her to move out, she lived there 51 years and did not want to move. One night she walked two blocks to the convenience store to buy milk and eggs when she was beaten and raped by a man who followed her home from the store. She died the next day from her injuries. The man who attacked and raped her turned out to be an illegal alien, and lived 4 houses down from her! She was 76 years old. And the last survivor of her once nice neighborhood.


This happened last November. And this lady was a friend of my family.
