Our influx of immigrants has steadily been going down in quality over the past decade or so. Especially with the human detritus swarming illegally over the border these days. Illiterate, low level of skills, no especial feeling of gratitude or allegiance to the U.S., unwilling to assimilate. Instead of adopting our values, language, and culture, they demand we modify our country to suit them. Witness all the keypads saying, "For Spanish, push 2...", all the bilingual forms, all the bilingual instruction books, etc. It is all a form of surrender and lack of national pride.
One thing I've seen more of in my general neighborhood:
1. Building contractors used to arrive in a car with a company name and state contractor's license number on the side. Now, an unmarked truck circles the block and drops off a bunch of little men who hide and do their work and then get picked up again. No marked truck is ever parked outside.
2. The little men set up fruit stands with a big patio umbrella. They do this at certain intersections and often where there are a lot of junior high and college age kids. One had big bags of wholesale-packaged oranges at his little stand. Doesn't look very lucrative or make much sense since a good produce market is a short walk away. He might be a front man or a lookout, or maybe he's selling drugs.
The two cases mentioned almost certainly involve illegal aliens.
