Someone sees a need for more "detention centers" ( prisons) due to an expected increase in criminal aliens ? (for some strange reason )

I could be wrong.....

It is strange, from people I've talked to the demand to come to the US has gone down recently. Alot of undocumented people I know are going or have already gone back to live in Mexico due to the lack of jobs here.

Because:

A: about 40% of the businesses on the main street that runs along my neighborhood are Mexican, and a good chunk of those are likely undocumented. If they were ousted there'd be a ton of commercial vacancies, commercial building owners would go into foreclosure.

B: about 30% of my neighborhood is occupied by Mexicans and other Hispanics, with a good chunk of them undocumented, they were gone it would leave alot of vacancies in single family homes as well as multi-family dwellings which would cause more foreclosures, drive home prices down further, cause more vacancies, decay and property crime.

C:The increase in foreclosures would cause the property tax base to drop which would cut even more into city services, etc.

D: With all those people gone the local economy would be negatively impacted, local business would probably suddenly see a 30% drop in traffic, leading to more businesses closing, and adding to vacancies, foreclosures, etc.

No business has the right to exist that isn't within our laws. No one has the right to be in our country illegally. It is unforunate that they created this mess but it is time to pay the pauper. We simply can't allow corruption to exist because it benefited "some" Americans. Life will go on and improve eventually for those neighborhoods and citizens. The neighhood's law abiding citizens should have objected long ago.
