It doesn't seem like it should be too difficult to observe the customs of a country and culture that welcomed you, and practice it. I wonder if they know women in the US are allowed to defend themselves.

Here's another example where my wife used to work. She worked for a casino and they used to bring in Asians by the busload. They'd shove themselves ahead of a line and steal creamers and packets of sugar and anything else that wasn't nailed down and put them in their purses. They were just plain rude and pushing and shoving seemed to be the norm for them. The all had such a strong smell of garlic that it was hard to be near them. None of them seemed to be able to speak English either. They eventually stopped allowing those buses to come there. Most of them were from L.A. and surrounding dominant Asian towns. It's just an example of how their culture is incompatible with ours. Granted there are many successful and intelligent Asians who have assimilated to American culture but these people seemed to have just gotten off the boat.

And supposedly bankroll the Medicare and Social Security programs for retiring baby boomers.

It is so funny that DeBlasio and Garcetti are throwing money and raising taxes like never before in the history of any jurisdiction in the United States in the name of their affordable housing crisis that is made much worse from begging for as many third-world residents as possible.

If a Democrat is election in 2020 or if they block President Trump's America First Agenda, I can't even imagine the amount of illegals and fake refugees from Central America and Mexico rushing in to escape their countries high crime rates.

Most of them will flood states like New York and California that just can't get enough third-world migration.

Same when New York, tremendous amounts of Dominicans moving there when they have a huge housing shortage.
Because they are liberals and creating or exacerbating crisis is a HUGE part of their stock-in-trade. You see, there is opportunity to expand government power, and diminish the power of the people in crisis.

Just just plain idiotic. Most work under the table, and hardly pay enough taxes to cover 10% of their excessive "take" from the system. Good thing I am here to catch you and your Bravo Sierra.

I can only speak for NYC, but majority of immigrants here are hard working people who don't commit crimes. NYC has one of the lowest crime rates in the country despite the share of immigrants going up. A lot of suburban America is just a crime ridden ***hole with methheads and prescription drug abusers compared to NYC immigrant neighborhoods. Top NYC public schools are majority immigrant and they are out-competing the lazy whining Americans who have no drive or direction. A lot of immigrants here wonder why instead of whining about competition, all these US citizens take some personal responsibility, pull themselves up by the bootstraps and compete...

Street homeless are not even from around here, but are mostly lazy US citizens from middle America with a history of drug and alcohol abuse who come here to mooch on the government's tit on the back of hard working immigrants. NYC does provide free housing to homeless from NYC/single parent households, so you don't see those people on the street.

Americans shouldn't have to compete against foreigners for jobs in their own country and no most Americans are not lazy or homeless drug users. Sick of this lame, lying argument to replace our own citizens with immigrants that shouldn't even be allowed in unless there is a proven need for them. Many illegal immigrants have replaced Americans on their jobs by working for less. This is unacceptable.

If you are getting outcompeted by uneducated immigrants from third world countries with no grasp of the language and any professional skills, why do you want the government to come in and fix your personal problems?
Take some personal responsibility and pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Too many big government borrow-and-spend conservatives who don't believe in free markets and competition around here. Competition in the labor pool is good for businesses to stay competitive both domestically and globally. Free movement of people is one of the tenants of capitalism.
