Ruiz’s observations will strike anyone who has hired eager Mexican and Central American workers as incredible. I pressed him repeatedly, insisting that Americans see Mexican immigrants as cheerful and hardworking, but he was adamant. “We’re creating an underclass,” he maintained.

Affluent white folks can send them out of the gated community when the yardwork is finished. The rest of us get to deal with the barrio.

This is a real problem in Northern Virginia. Yet Arlington, VA and other communities in this area actually cater to them. Many of the violent home invasion gangs consist of illegal aliens and immigrants from several Asian countries.

And lets not forget the Russian Mafia that has made great inroads in this country.

Belmont high has always been a dumping ground for bad actors.

In the early 50s any kid that got kicked out of Marshall (where I went) got shipped to Belmont.

The same gangs were in operation then but weren't as violent and the drug use at the time was mostly by blacks.

The Frog Town Rules, White Fence, and the one west of Los Feliz Blvd. (can't remember the name right now) are still the same gangs and they are starting their grandkids in gramer school to be part of the gang.

The few left that were in high school with me that didn't OD, get murdered, or are still in jail are training the kids, and training them to be violent, drug dealers, and general criminals.

They are assimilating the illegals into their gangs but the driving force behind them are 5th and 6th generation Californians.

I can't say we've had many problems with Russians in North Texas. Their criminal element seems to stick to the east and west coasts.

At least Manassas City and Manassas Park City have enacted laws to deal with the overcrowding problem.

You may recall that Fairfax County tried this about 2-3 years ago, but there was a huge outcry and they dropped the idea.

Manassas Park is also doing yearly rental property inspections, which I think is a good idea given that some of these people have no qualms about living in slum conditions. They apparently think it is normal. Once landlords in this city find out that they can no longer let their property go to hell and just rent it out to the lowest common denominator, it should improve things around here because the market for cheap slum rentals will dry up, as will the customer base for it.

Gee whiz, where are all the pro-illegal cheerleaders?

Maybe this article is too long for them.

Anyone who is pro-illegal immigrants in these post 9/11 days is a traitor, corrupt, and/or mentally unbalanced.

Being white as a ghost, I can't use that excuse.

Yeah, like me who has lived next to barrios and grown up on the streets of LA (lived in cars, garages, and even a shed). I got some cold hard facts for you seen through the eyes of a liberal youth; Mexicans love their bambinos and produce them as quickly as possible, but once they grow out diapers - out on the street. It's a fact. Of course there are the exceptions, but you would hardly see it by the degredation of so many communities in Southern California.

Yeah, I know, I'm a racist. Actually, I'm a culturalist. Deal with it.

Maybe if they'd spent a little more time learning to read, they'd be able to run a successful business without hiring illegals.

Hey Navy, you don't have to go to southern california, we had the same situation in San Mateo, (near SF). It would seem that the gang culture has terrified all hispanic families into giving their girls to have babies and giving their yourg men to write grafitti and rumble. Not to mention having a place to hand out when the gang is on the run. Of course, graduation from high school would just be "being white" so it is not tolerated, (yes maybe some exceptions, but they probably grow up and become conservatives too.).

Gang detectives in Long Island’s Suffolk County know when members of the violent Salvadoran MS-13 gang get off work from their lawn-maintenance or pizzeria jobs, and can follow them to their gang meetings. Mexican gang members in rural Pennsylvania, which saw two gang homicides in late April, also often work in landscaping and construction.

What sane U.S. citizen would send their teenager into that environment for a summer job?

I hate to say it, but given our current and prospective crop of politicians, I think we have passed the tilt point. We have lost the country, and it is time to come up with Plan B. In fact, Plan B probably won't work, and we need a Plan C or a Plan D to save whatever can be saved.
