Beach Sportsfan, Yes, many do have a certain look. There is certain look in the eyes that shows they are not comfortable or familiar with the environment. It's the look a kid has when he is circled by bullies and he does not know where the punch is coming from, combined with an inability to understand what is being said. It's a head-on-a-swivel, eyes/ears on alert look of paranoia that is not uncommon with illegal aliens. When you grow up with a lot neighbors, schoolmates, extended family, etc. that illegal, you learn to easily recognize this look and its affiliated behaviors.

So I'm not going to say I can pick them out unfailingly, but it is not altogether unreasonable to be able to ballpark it with some degree of accuracy. Kinda like watching cars go by, you can tell which ones are going the speed limit, and which are speeding, right?

Yes some might have that but not others. And yes I live in an area with many illegals myself and many you would never know. Too easy to try to simplify it by what you mentioned.

This has me gobsmacked.

So instead of compassion you offer fear.

Perhaps it's YOU who needs to leave.

Where do I offer fear? Why are you impressing behaviors on me that I have not done or threatened to do. That is quite a twist of words, that I am offering fear? Now I'm gobsmacked at what logical and reasonable thought process brought you to that unjustified accusation?

I simply articulated observable behaviors associable with legal standing. I did not offer anything but observations.

And I am trying to leave, you can come back here and have this $hithole state.

Count me as another one who'd far rather live in East TN than NYC. Good grief. Isn't it good we don't all want to live in the same place?
