The majority of those "illegals" you refer to are actually in the United states legally. Yes they are immigrants and yes they are from third world and yes they are ghetto but they are also either citizens or have green cards for the most part.

Some are of course but your average LPR or USC allowed to work isn't loitering in front of bodegas all day waiting to be picked up for a day labor job. You would be very surprised how many of those in the westbury area are in fact here illegally. Westbury is a well known magnet for illegals, has been for years, as are other places like farmingville, Brentwood, and CI. This is not exactly a secret.

I will give you this though, it is of course silly to blame all crimes in westbury on illegals, but some certainly do their share. Do you really believe everyone illegally crossing the border and dirt poor is a model human being? If you do then you are hopelessly naive.
I mentioned Latinos because I've discussed this with Interlude before and he actually did attack Latinos specifically

And I think that MS13 guy was born in the US

That's not true, being poor does not make you ghetto

And can we stop using the term "Third World"? It's misused to an extent and quite outdated. Plus, the level of which a country is developed is more complex than "first world" or "third world".

He was not, born in El Sal and had TPS came here illegally as did all but one of his compatriots.

Why? It is a simple term to describe very poor underdeveloped countries. So that's racist now? What language would the political correct police like to ban next??

I wasn't even saying that to be PC and I never claimed it was racist, it's just that it's really not the best term to use. It's outdated cold war terminology and it wasn't meant to be a synonym for "developing country".

The great majority of low wage laborers who have done services for me were in the U.S. legally. They live in places like Peekskill and Yonkers which are not different from the LI neighborhoods you mentioned. If you see them, their behavior and their living conditions, you cannot tell the difference with the Latinos, Asians etc. in Queens. Why would they settle for low pay day laborer jobs like cleaning ladies, delivery men, carwashing etc.? Language for one. Even with papers, they come to the US not entirely fluent with reading and writing in English. There is also the bias of traditional employers against those educated outside the US.

So you checked the immigration status of ALL those doing low wage labor for you to collect this purely anecdotal evidence?

MS13 began in LA and then exploded in the CA prison system.
