Any suggestion that all who come here are contributing to the economies of their (our) communities is fatuous. And after all, they are here illegally. Doesn't that mean anything any more? Of course they should be sent back from whence they came if possible. But I am well aware that it is not possible to deport them all; however, those that can be, of course, should be returned to their countries (mainly Mexico, of course). Those of you not living near the border obviously are not aware of the crime rate of illegal aliens. They compise a significant portion of the CA prison and jail population. They account for 30% of car thefts in SoCA. Many of these vehicles end up in Mexico being driven by Federales. They also commit burglaries, kill pets, start fires on private property, defacate on sidewalks and in garages, and assault property owners if confronted. Since not all of them do this, and many parts of the US are unaffected (so far), I suppose we should not object. I could go on, but why do so for closed minds? This is fact, not racism. Posters from the San Diego area can vouch for what I say.

This L.A. area poster can also vouch for what you say, it's true. Many people just don't understand it because it hasn't come to their state yet in a tidal wave like it has in California.
