I spent the last year living in uptown Charlotte and watched crews of Hispanic laborers build three or four beautiful buildings in that town. I never once saw one sleeping on the street, but I saw plenty with complexions both ligher and darker doing just that.

Moron! It's ain't about you and "what you saw". What you see is not what goes on at the border. And what you see is just the surface. There is plenty of welfare and scamming going on you don't see. And what do you propose for these illegal aliens once this housing bubble gets pricked? Send 'em back to Mexico? 

You have no answer.

There is plenty of welfare and scamming going on you don't see.

One reason San Diego and El Paso and other border cities are in an extreme crisis situation with health care ---is that this isn't even just the typical illegal immigrants. Many of the ones coming over never worked a day in their life here, they can't be said to have benefitted our economy in any way at all --not even with their cheap labor. They come up from all areas of Mexico for the sole purpose of getting to a US border hospital for all kinds of health care they will never be expected to pay for. It's a problem that's growing worse extremely fast because they've all caught on how easy it is to do and also most good physicians have left Mexico. If I lived over there I wouldn't like to go to most doctors there either.

Same thing with the schools along the border. They're all in need of federal money bailouts.
