Well I heard LA is worse. we have the typical issues, crime, taking jobs, alot of border issues. Itis a pain, but people here are sick of it and willing to do what they can to try to slow it down.

I heard on CNN that the maricopa sherriff gets death threats from illegals. Is this true?

Haha.. I remember one day on the news, Arpaio was like speaking in front of inmates, and one of em said "We're going to vote you out!" Arpaio replied, "You can't vote! You're illegal!"

Or something along those lines.

But, anyway. We do have immigration issues, and there is alot of tension in the air because of it. Or, at least, thats how I see it.

Most of my family is rather 'racist.' I hate that word. They're the type that, whenever they hear about crime on the news, before the story even starts, they shout "MEXICANS!" I try not to do that. I do disagree with the whole matter of LEGALITY, but, I've got nothing against people that come here legally and try to make something of themselves, more power to em!

There certainly is an illegal problem here. But AZ stills "enjoys" a huge positive in-migration, much of it from California and that dilutes the impact of illegals coming in. Non-hispanic whites are now a minority in Phoenix proper, but the vast majority of the suburbs are still decidedly non-hispanic white with scattered middle-class hispanics and blacks. So I guess the sense of inundation is not as great as LA. It's a matter of time, though.

It is almost tax time.if every AMERICAN said "we are not paying any more taxes until this is resolved" that would change lots of things.

Its no wonder why so many people from L.A. move to Scottsdale, Chandler etc.

Eventhough its 120+ degrees its mainly white suburbs.
