Simply tell your location or somewhere you have visited, then explain the amount of illegal alien activity you noticed.

2 years ago. Los Angeles, CA:
To keep this somewhat short and sweet...I was one of the few who could speak decent English. Spanish was heard in public almost exclusively. The crime was being commited by illegal aliens. Murders, DUI's, rapes, drugs...you name it. They had turned the entire area into their own Mexico and their own third world country. EVERYONE working could only speak Spanish. 99% were rude and had no concern for anyone else but themselves and their fellow illegals. Since then I've moved to South-Eastern Kentucky. The people here have no idea just how bad it is back there. But it's slowly making it's way here, way out in isolated appalachia. You run across illegals living out in the woods and doing their business in the creeks and streams. They're working some of the factories and agriculture and slowly making their way into the fast food/restaurant business. People here just don't seem to understand what it's like back in CA and that's what I fear the most.

Ok, your turn.

You've seen illegals hanging their butts out and pooping in creeks and streams?

North Florida. I see them everywhere! Jaywalking, Walmart is over run!, walking after dark in the middle of the road, schools, stores, everywhere.
And before someone asks how I know they're illegal, there are about three to four times as many as there was just 5 years ago and one in 50 might speak english. I'd say it's a pretty good bet that most are illegal.
Add to that, when I went to renew my driver license I had to present a certified birth certificate, ss card etc.. When I walked in I was actually AMAZED at how 'absent' they were..
Our little town is under 12,000 so any newcomer is noticed.

CA, San Joaquin Valley. Major farming here. Since I work in the medical field I see the E.R. used as a clinc. 100 - 200 per day minimum, 99% not medical emergencies either. It disgusts me each and every day the audacity these people have. Also, one of the superwalmarts in the area looks like a tornado went through it. The overhead music in the store is spanish, the people speak NO ENGLISH and I will not go there any longer. I will say this, working in the fields is very hard work and I give the illegals kudos for doing it. I really wish our Gvt could come up with some work - furlough progam, or something like that for the ones that do work.

Thanks for the responses, keep them coming. I would like this thread to be for reports only. I'd like to have a big list from various locations all across the country so people can just read through. Thanks everyone!

There already are unlimited H-2A visas for legal farm workers.

How do you know they're illegal?

I live in Northern Houston TX, I live within a few miles of a couple illegal immigrant pickup locations which the city calls "day laborer lots". I see illegals daily loitering in parking lots all over my area.

Today.

Lakewood NJ.

A bunch of mexicans with snow shovels standing on corners every few blocks.

They do work hard.
