Most "taxpayers" are of two minds on this issue.

On the one side are the extra government "services" that someone has to pay
for.

On the other side is that a lot of "stuff" (including some "government
services" like picking up trash along the roads) is cheaper because of the
Illegals.

Around here, picking up trash by the side of the road is accomplished
with convict labor, and illegal aliens are certainly contributing to
that labor pool. An increasing percentage of illegals are actually
criminals. They don't settle down to do granny's dusting, they deal and
steal, and when the opportunity presents itself, they rape and murder.
The majority of the drugs in the USA come from Mexico. Organized crime
isn't run by the Italians any more, it's run with a Spanish accent.

The border leaks like a sieve, both drugs and people. When they release
a murderer from prison, the INS may deport him, but three days later he
is right back in town, dealing and stealing, getting set to murder his
next victim.

Caught a bit of a discussion on tv this morning and the remark "As long as
they behave like citizens ..." was made. Seems to me that a number of
people expect Hispanics to behave better than citizens do. Puerto Ricans
have done seasonal and year-round work in the Mid-Atlantic state for 50+
years. Sure, there are some cultural differences that can lead to
conflicts. And, yes, there are Hispanic criminals. But like black crime,
the majority is against members of the same race/ethnicity. As for drugs,
they're "our" problem. If citizens stopped buying them, most of the
problem would go away.

So what is the basis for the fear of Hispanics? They speak a different
language so many citizens don't know what they're saying about "us". The
majority are industrious so eventually they'll end up with citizens' jobs?
