I live in Southern Arizona, you don't think they are here? I have not seen any of the behaver here that you say you see. Why have you not turned them in if they are causing you grief?

A lot of us do exactly that. Don't worry your little head over that fact. What is a better question is why is it that you love criminals so much?

gosharooney gee whiz, sassyone, we have that pesky Special Order 40 in our so-called sanctuary city of Los Angeles wherein no immigration status on suspected perpetrators ever can be conveyed to ICE!

And God's Honest truth, what I've written I've experienced personally. Illegals have shot through the fence at my nice dogs, vandalize my neighborhood, break building code laws, incubate gangs, graffiti everything, drive without licenses (3 totalled car wrecks in the last 7 years by them in my life, yes, the police confirmed they were illegals) blare window-rattling stadium-worthy p.a. systems 24/7, and so on ad infinitum. Your lack of experience with them, I'm guessing, stems from lesser percentages than L.A. (wherein 300 illegals enter daily) and perhaps your living in more upscale digs than middle/working class people like me in L.A.

So where do you draw the line on criminal behavior?

The American Dream is to be able to get a good job, buy a home and have your family be able to 'quietly enjoy' the rewards of your work. When the illegals move into your neighborhood, that is destroyed.

Truly, if you lived in southern AZ and haven't seen the influx of illegals that had happened over the last decade then you must be blind.

Where did I ever post that I love criminals. I don't consider them criminals for trying to find a better life for their families. If they do crimes other than coming into the US illegally then I think they should be punished, law enforcement, not a group that likes to play cops and Robbers.

You need to read my posts, I live in Southern Arizona and have seen many of them, anyone that lives close to the border see's them. The difference being the way we see them, we don't hate them for being here.

Well according to the federal law, being in the country or violating immigration law is not a felony like robbing a bank would be. If you have a problem with that then take it up with the gov't.

Btw, if the illegal immigrants you are living with are soo dangerous as you say then why don't you leave your neighborhood?By you staying there indicates that you actually enjoy their company.

That's the American Dream?? Well that's not too much to ask for.
With the economy the way it is, I guess not too many are living the dream,huh?
