How have Illegal Immigrants personally impacted you, good and bad?

[Anonymous]

multiculturalism is a big problem. It doesn't work

[Anonymous]

When they are registering for school, they have to being a birth certificate. This info isn't collected because liberals don't want it to be collected

Or, we don’t want an underclass here of illiterates unable to work when they grow up. Similarly, other services - like the police! - have not checked immigration status because they don’t want an underclass dying in the streets. The cops in various jurisdictions want people to come forward and not be permanent victims of violent crime.

Not to keep beating a dead horse but the reason Trump won again is illegal immigrants drove down and are continuing to drive down blue collar wages

And in some cases not all they are having negative effects by overwhelming schools by ESOL and other services and by sheer population. You don't have to go far in Montgomery county or fairfax county to see the problems

And again the typical DCUM poster in Bethesda or other rich parts of these places doesn't see the issues first hand

Can you back up your assertions with actual numbers, pleas. How many students in schools are undocumented. Also how many taxes are undocumented workers paying? That would be helpful to know. Because you must be basing your post on actual numbers that you can cite. Otherwise why make those assertions.

There have been 600 unaccompanied minors released in northern VA just this fiscal year with most of those dumped in Fairfax County. There are probably many many more who weren't caught at the border and show up at our schools. If your schools were impacted like some of ours you would understand. Our school is overflowing already and when you include kids who are way behind everyone else and don't speak a word of English, it slows down the entire class and negatively impacts everyone.

+ 1 The high school where my friend lives (in MoCo) is rated a 3. It's half Hispanic and very high ESOL and FARMS. Don't tell me these are legal American citizens. It's so bad that you can buy a 5-bedroom house in her neighborhood for the low $400s.

Yeah MoCo went way down after Prince William County ran out illegal immigrants and a lot of them went to MoCo. It used to be one of the best school systems in the area but now their schools are in the toilet because of the influx of these kids. I've heard the graduation rate dropped pretty low too.

I wouldn't move there if you paid me

Yes, I grew up there and went to the local public school. It was a middle to upper-middle class school, with parents who were mostly college graduates and very involved in their kids' educations. Now it's unrecognizable.

Glad you’re no longer here.

I'm sure PP is too!

You said it. Why would I want to live in an area that looks like a third-world country, 14-year-olds who should be in school hang out in McDonalds all day, and people don't even speak English? You think that's appealing, here in America?

Or we can send them to their home countries where they won't be our problem.

I’d like to see a study of the economic impact if all the undocumented workers suddenly disappeared. Because I suspect it wouldn’t be the utopia all you hardliners are fantasizing about. Illegal immigrants actually pay billions in tax dollars, never mind spending money on goods and housing. Never mind the work they do.

Since Trump started cracking down, it’s led to a drop in those filing returns. Yet more drop in revenue thanks to Trump

You're forgetting something: THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Interesting, especially since there has been an increase in revenues collected.

God. Get them on tax evasion in addition to illegal entry. If there is one thing the US government won't stand for it is tax evasion. Al Capone was convicted on tax evasion charges after all.

So happy you’re not my neighbor here in my beautiful street in MoCo. By the way my next door neighbor is an immigrant who has been here for 40 years and barely speaks English. Love her and her generosity and neighborliness.

She’s European, by the way.

There are always exceptions. But parts of MoCo have gone downhill big-time because of the influx of illegal immigrants. Deny it all you want.

I’ll take MoCo any time over the 99% white midwestern county my parents live in, where I grew up, nary an immigrant in sight but one of the most depressed flat economies around. Housing prices stagnant. Schools mediocre. Few thriving businesses. Almost no public transportation. Roads in bad shape.

No thanks. I’ll stick to my lively community. We’re grateful people like you don’t care to live with us. Thanks for staying away. Really, I’m grateful.

Who says it's a choice between a flat, depressed town in the Midwest and a suburb of poor, illegal immigrants who don't speak English, with school kids who hang out in the McDonalds all day rather than go to class, and where the school quality is a 3?

No. The choice is between THAT and a middle-class neighborhood with college-educated and hard-working skilled high school graduates of ALL colors, with schools rated at least a 6. It is absurd that liberals pretend it's so wonderful to live among barely literate high school dropouts whose kids don't even go to class, where there is trash and old furniture on the front lawn, and two and three families bundle up in homes meant for a single family.
