There is a vaccination scar that is visible even in adulthood on the upper arm of many people who were born abroad. That is ALL I was talking about - again, to reiterate, because someone isn't born in the US doesn't make them illegal. This method of vaccination was changed in the US quite some time ago. I have a friend who is engaged to a Dutchman, and when the subject of this came up, he confirmed that he also received a vaccination that caused scarring, but his was administered on the sole of his foot.
Polio or Smallpox Vaccine?

It wasn't changed that long ago, in the 50's or 60's.

So do you ask them to raise their sleeve so you can tell?

Back to the topic. I live in a rural southern area where there just arent as many immigrints as there are in the areas most of you are from. When I was younger most immigrants I have encountered were through the university and from Germany, Venezuela, and Taiwan all friendly and I became friends with some. Today most immigrants I encounter are Indian, Chineese and Hispanic. Generally all friendly. I have met people from Canada, Poland and France and Korea. It been my exp. that the Chineese are the least friendly immigrants.

I'd carry my cell phone and call the cops on them right away!

I'm an immigrant (and an American citizen). Most of my encounters with other immigrants are with my own parents. They generally go quite well. LOL

sergyn, I just repped you because that was funny!

Alaskapat and others, police will not respond here in my part of L.A. to anything short of arterial, projectile bloodshed. This is part of what I'm trying to inform others on this forum, what happens when a place changes due to the illegal demographic so predominating. In L.A., being ground zero for illegal immigration- 300 arrive daily- quality of life issues where I live are overwhelmed by attention to acute violence caused by illegals' gangs when prioritized by law enforcement.

fastfilm I have been trying to warn them also - any law enforcement is seen as racist.

There is no such thing as "illegal" gangs. All gangs in America are American by products.

immigrants have been just like every other people on the streets: everyone minds their own business.

some are gonna be rude like some citizens are gonna be rude.

some are gonna be super friendly like some citizens are gonna be super friendly.

you cant generalize all immigrant's attitudes...just like you cant generalize citizen's attitudes.

The few illegals that do join gangs, join gangs that have existed in America for decades.

but i guess its easy to assume all mexicans are illegal.

You don't live amongst the newish Ms-13, Maratrucha Salvadora, as I do. You don't live as I do amongst generationally entrenched gangs, who recruit from the battalions of illegals and their offspring here. My neighborhood watch work with local police confirms same. In the San Fernando Valley of L.A., in the brave new world of multiculturalism where I live, the biggest of the many, many gangs even consider themselves to be Mexican, Salvadoran, Armenian or Russian- not even hyphenated! How can you defend vicious gangs?
