I agree with you there, with the only difference and distinction being that private individuals and businesses don't ask me to pay. The government does. As I said, heavily fine businesses who hire illegals.

I don't now but I did from 1984 to 1992 (lived in Dekalb 1982 to 1984), and my sister lived in Norcross and later Lawrenceville from 1982 to 1996. I saw most of the transition of Gwinnett up close from the early 1980s to the Olympics.

Neil, what traditions and cultures that the US has? Give me a break. US was founded/invaded by Europeans and the cutltures and traditions were created and are evolving. Again, didn't want to make this a legal or illegal back and forth responses. Legal immigrants do speak the language but English is not their native tongue so I don't have a problem with information being distributed so that others can clearly understand what is being said. Even British people have a problem with American English.
Actually, I have been to France. They don't mind people who don't speak their language they don't like people who feel entitled for no other reason than being American. But that is another topic.
Anyways, the problems the Northern burbs might be experiencing has little to do with immigrants but more to do with population growth and not having a good plan for that.

You're right. They just ask you(and me)to deal with the chaos from the messy immigration policy. These wealthy private individuals and businesses are double-dealing hypocrites: They talk that "America-First", "Strengthen borders" crap when they deal with your average everyday bubbas, and all the while those greedy creeps are behind closed doors at the U.S. Capitol asking Uncle Sam to take it easy on the ICE raids at the local chicken plant.
How machiavellian and "gangsta" is that? I only wish that I was that smart...

Great points. Truth be told, our economy is not equipped socially to deal with this illegal immigration; it never has been.
