By hey, educate me - give me specific examples and also tell me how you all are actually doing something about it and not just talking about it??? Because I must be the ignorant one???

I am sorry to get my 2 cents in...
Not ALL crimes are commited by illegals. But, when it DOES happen, it will make headlines, because those people are NOT supposed to be here in the first place!
I can just tell you about it, what I have read, heard in the newspapers and such. A family of 4 (mom, dad, kids) was shot/ executed right here on the Fl turnpike in Port Saint Lucie, by illegals. (They are "persons of interest right now, in jail at the moment....investigation is ongoing!). Just 2 weeks ago did a young guy cause a crash right here on I-95 near Port Saint Lucie, killing 2 people....he is illegal, and was under the influence! 1 or 2 years ago was a stabbing in one of the clubs/ bars here in Port Saint Lucie. One young guy got killed, stabbed to death, by an illegal immigrant.
Or better yet.... look what's going on in the town of Hazleton/ PA!!!! Read up on it, and find out why the town is taking a stand against illegals!!! The residents are sick and tired of illegals, the crap they come with like gangs, drugs and violance. And I think what pushed the residents there over the edge was the killing of a local man (shot to death right between the eyes!) by illegals. Find out what kind of pressure the residents, hospitals, schools etc are under because of illegals. (It doesn't matter one bit if they "work hard" or not, the american people are not getting anything out of it other then support them with tax dollars!) Have you been in the emergency room at the hospital lately????
I really hope for you, that you don't have to go there..... The place is over run by mostly illegals, which go there instead of a regular doctor. You better be half dead upon arrival, to get the immediate attention. And if not, be prepared to wait about 6 hours or more.
Yes, Florida has huge problems. All the illegals being here, are not the ONLY problem Florida/ the US has, but they sure add enough to the strain everybody is feeling!!!
NOBODY says "Hey, we hate foreigners, and people from other countries....any country". And we don't say :"Hey, you can't come to the USA, because we do not agree with it".
Thing is, ALL OF US ARE/ WERE at one point foreigners (except native american indians!), but DAMN, come to this country LEGALLY!!!! What the heck is so damn hard about that?????
Do what everyone else had done...apply for papers, fill them out, go to an immigration doctor (so you don't kill people with a disease you carry in!), pay all fees, be interviewed several times, and make sure you speak sufficient english!
I welcome people to this great country, trying to help build it up, make it better, bigger, stronger.....and support it with the necessary tax dollar.
I don't, however, welcome you, when you are draining it little by little, bring more of your kind into this country by the herds and droves, and just expect us (the LEGALS) to work harder and more, to support you (the illegals) on top of everything else we are supporting already!
So, AGAIN...NOT all crimes are commited by illegals. But, they sure don't make it any safer either!
No, and you are NOT the ignorant one...I AM! Because i am telling you all what I know, observe, ***** and complain about the fact, what brings this great country to the knees, but I'm just doing that.....and not actually doing anything about it. The thing is, I am here legally....pay my taxes, work, support the community and such, but, I am not allowed to vote. I am technically not allowed to have a voice about laws, regulations and politics here in the USA (but, I am substanial enough to take ones life!). Go figure!
