^^^^Start googling---that is if you really are interesting in educating yourself when it comes to this issue.
I'm not going to do your homework for you. If you believe there is something out there other than anecdotal evidence showing that "hundreds of communities" are getting "destroyed" by illegal aliens such that children's educations are suffering and people are being terrorized to the point where they have abandoned their own house, then lets see it.
Boyle Heights has had high crime since the 70s, peaking in the 90s. That's not painting it with a broad brush - that's information that I found from crime statistics. I don't see any proof that illegal immigrants have flooded Boyle Heights and turned it from Pleasantville to the Thunderdome, as the poster to whom I responded seems to think.
All I asked for is empirical evidence that "hundreds of communities" are getting "destroyed" by illegal aliens such that children's educations are suffering and people are being terrorized to the point where they have abandoned their own houses.
I live in the Houston TX Metro area and our public school system is heavily burdened by the illegal immigrant population that has flooded Harris and Montgomery counties over the past decade. The local hospitals and ERs eat hundreds of millions of dollars every year do to illegal immigrants who seek services and never pay a bill. The number of car accidents and DUI injuries/deaths in my area that are caused by illegal immigrants is staggering, it's a nightly thing around here on the news.

You forgot that tree trimming company that works for the Utility companies employee. He was illegal. Fell from a tree in Montgomery county. Ended up in the Harris county hospital, paralyzed from the waist down. The hospital kept him for 6 months, did all they could, and sent him home. That company paid not one dime for his care. Even with a senior exemption just my hospital district taxes are enough to get my attention.
Houston has the highest rate of DWIs in the state. Many are illegals.
Don't get me started on reduced and free lunch and how the school districts are parlaying that into thousands of extra dollars per student a year.
I do not know any Democrat who supports illegal immigration. Most think the wall is a waste of money and would rather go after the employers. It's illegal to hire them. But Texans have turned a blind eye to that for 50 years. Just ask Perry Homes how they got rich.

Not all illegals are coming here for work, thus the wall! Proven to work already and cost effective when you weigh the costs of illegal immigration to our society in so many ways.

I don't even want any illegals coming here to work under the table. What are the 22+ million illegals already here doing anyway?

I do, I know plenty both in local, state and national politics as well as in my personal life.

Ok. When was it a Jewish community and when did it become did it become a Hispanic community with large number of illegals? Map that against the crime stats you found. Who was committing those crimes, was it the Jewish?

And what's the point? They're illegal aliens, nobody should support or justify it in any possible way.
