[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an inflexion point for MOCO. If they don't fix this or the President start deporting illegal students that steal tax money...the county is in for a very sudden collapse in livability.  Its up to the public if they are ready to be normal or allow chaos and watch home values plummet.[/quote]

I'm good with all of the above. If housing plummets it's because it's been artificially inflated. Sorry if you paid way too much for your DC or Arlington home. [/quote]

What a totally dumb statement. Housing can also plummet because the value has been damaged. hence another thread on the Ward 3 homeless shelter. I don't live in MoCo but I am sympathetic to people whose living arrangements are being upended by politicians.[/quote]
The value of my parents' house - a five-bedroom, four-bathroom colonial - was part of an upper-middle class neighborhood when I grew up there, with many neighbors belonging to the nearby country club. It now is worth in the low 300s, primarily because of the high percentage of illegal immigrants' children in the nearby high school - 80% of whom are on free breakfasts/lunches, barely speak English, and hang out at the local burger joint during school hours. College-educated parents (such as mine) now no longer want to buy a home in their neighborhood, and it is in a downward cycle. [b]If we halted the influx of illegal immigrants[/b], home prices would at least stop plummeting.[/quote]

We would certainly stop the bleeding at our public schools if we halted the influx. I'm curious if there will ever be a stop to this though.. Fairfax, MOCO and PG are the highest recipients of undocumented children in this area, because many of the sponsors (most are probably illegal immigrants as well) of the undocumented children live in these areas. Are officials in these counties going to continue to ignore this problem and just let more come in at the tax payer's expense? We would be foolish to think that the problem is going to disappear. The problem is only going to get worse if we don't do anything about this. [/quote]
