Yep. There was a discussion thread here a couple of days ago about the "gateway" states - California and Texas are two of them. They bestow the benefits of immigration on other states, when immigrants come through their states and move to other states. The article actually said "benefits", and of course didn't use the word illegal (not that I recall, anyway). So, illegal immigrants and the accompanying crime are benefits now.

Anyone not paying attention really needs to start paying attention to what is going on in Mexico. They have a fast escalating violent crime rate, their society has become completely unraveled in one generation. 42% of hispanic births in the US are to unwed mothers ----- It's true many of the immigrants are good decent hard-working people ----- but they are not the only kinds moving over.
