I'm (in "infamous" Cochise County) a lot closer to the border than you are and I don't see anything "being destroyed". By historical levels, crime rates in this country are lower than they've been in a long time - certainly lower than they were in 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's.

I'd wager it crosses more minds than some may think.

Even if that were true (but it's not) who cares? What can a regular citizen do about it anyway? If they reported their suspicions nothing would become of it anyway.

This country is being destroyed by illegal immigration in a lot more ways than by just crime.

We'll survive.
Even with the recent surge in kids coming in (which is now showing signs of letting up), illegal immigration over the last 5 years is way down from the previous time period.

Well, you live in a town that's only 2% hispanic, so I guess it's not something you have much experience with.

"We'll survive" isn't the issue. This immigration has had a deleterious effect on school districts, even formerly affluent, high-performing ones in Northern Virginia.
In Fairfax County kindergarten classes, school system
If this was happening in your own children's schools would you be so cavalier?

I'm in Cochise County - "ground zero" for illegal immigration - and we have the #1 school district in the entire state of Arizona.
