WELL IT DOES SINCE IS TRUE ALOT OF PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT RACES, ESPECIALLY MEXICANS COME HAVE LIKE 5 OR MORE KIDS, AND WANT TO DEPEND ON OUR GOVERMENT WHICH WE ARE THE ONES THAT END UP PAYING FOR THEIR WEILFARE/ MEDICAID AND ECT... I AM 23 YEARS OLD SINGLE PARENT AND MY KIDS DONT QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID, AND I KNOWN ALOT OF PEOPLE NEVER HAD A JOB IN THEIR LIFE, ILLEGAL AND HAVE ABOUT 5 OR MORE KIDS, WITH MEDICAID WHEN BEEN LIVING OUT FROM ALL OF US THAT PAY OUR TAXES, AND GET LIKE ALMOST 200 DEDUCTED FROM OUR PAY CHECKS, MAN I REALLY HATE THAT.

Of course. Half of NJ is illegal immigrants heh. Hust a few weeks ago the people who run my nail salon got deported. I was devastated.
by Kyogre-Stataen on April 19th, 2007
Unfortunatley yes. This part is major because the city in where I live in is actually linked to Mexico by a bridge system. Many parts of the Rio Grande are dried up, making immigrants easier to come into the US.

Immigration of any kind, legal or not, is becoming a problem here. I am the only Caucasian at my job basically, and often the only one on the bus, and nearly the only one on the street in many cases here in Bayside-Flushing-Whitestone, NY. When I left New York 15 years ago, it was maybe 60/40 in favor of immigrants. I can't imagine where they're gonna fit another Korean, or Chinese, or Mexican immigrant over there.
by Perryman on August 9th, 2007
No, my maid does a wonderful job, though my gardener did show up 5 minutes late yesterday.
Really it was no problem at all.
by Scifisuz on May 18th, 2007
Yes. I live in California. Work in Downtown Los Angeles. This is where all the marches and protests happen. Also, the areas surrounding downtown are where alot of illegals come initially, where the coyotes deliver them for payment to their families and contacts. Lots of crime, homeless, housing shortages, etc. I'm learning Spanish without trying.
by ammaz1 on April 19th, 2007
YES!! So much for Border Patrol
by WeeWillyWinky on September 20th, 2007
down here in texas its def. a prob... not as bad as some places i guess.. on one episode of "Hogan Knows Best" the whole family had to learn spanish cuz the Hulk couldnt even order a sandwich at Subway! SUBWAY PEOPLE! I understand at places like a mom'n'pop burrito stand or sumthin but its freakin subway
by Chopsy the Diver on August 9th, 2007
In the UK??? i think we have the lamest procedures here, i was watching the aussie 'anything to declare' programme and they seem to have it sussed over there so i dont understand why our system is so crap! and yes its a MASSIVE problem here.
by Indigo- in the library with the revolver on April 19th, 2007
No.
I don't think the guy who owns this farm wants to do all the dirty work, so he makes this man from Mexico do it... I don't think he pays him enough, either.
by Poohbear1427 on March 7th, 2009
Yes s cali
by Bitto on July 2nd, 2008
How's illegal immigration "a problem where you live"? Illegal immigration only becomes a "problem" when the illegal immigrant turns out to be a scumbag; Statistically, most illegal immigrants are honest, hard-working, God-fearing people; how can these kind of people be a "problem"?
by mgl on July 2nd, 2008
Not really, unless they got lost on the way to Spain! :D
by D.R.Bowling on July 2nd, 2008

heres a map from 1847
note that every thing to the left of the yellow line WAS MEXICO that includes most of the pacific south west
so you tell me now who illegally immigrated...
by Talimze on May 18th, 2007
Eh nope. Not too many people sneaking into America where I live, the Delmarva Peninsula. That's eastern Maryland. We're pretty far away from any other countries. We may have gotten a stray Cuban once or twice, but other than that everyone is pretty legal here.
by john pennington on July 29th, 2009
Yes.
A suburb of Nashville, Madison, Tn., has been taken over by illegal immigrants.
Mexican restaurants, convenience stores and gift shops all bear Spanish names. beer bottles and trash lay on the streets, where they never did before.
The crime rate has doubled and drunk driving arrests have doubled.
by Schonberg on July 29th, 2009
In the UK we have an enormous problem with illegal immigrants.They come from all over the world and usually make their way to the French channel ports. From there they hide themselves in trucks that are coming to the UK.If they are undetected they slip away and get jobs in the black economy.The ones who are found immediately claim that they are being persecuted in their own countries and claim political assylum.The ones who lose their assylum appeals immediatley claim we are infringing their human rights.Unfortunately our government is not strong enough or lacks the will to legislate against them.They come here because we pay them a good rate of social security and house them at the tax payers expense.
by Normal guy on March 7th, 2009
No it isn't a problem here. If we could get some illegals to come here it would probably improve the place.
by madroofer on March 7th, 2009
i broke into your house.now that im here,you have to feed me ,educate my children, pay my medical bills,furnish free housing,most of all. i love the free cash you tax payers give so freely.since writing this hosea, poco, roberto just made it here its a problem EVERYWHERE.

by Anonomous on July 2nd, 2008
I live in Arizona, yes it is a big problem!
by LuckyLefty on July 2nd, 2008
Theres no such thing as a Illegal immigrant.
Its just a term to describe people who roam gods earth but refuse to pay taxes to the gov't.
Maybe us citizens could grow a pair and stop paying so many taxes.
by Buffalo Boy on July 2nd, 2008
Not any more. We just burn em out at night. Word gets around pretty fast!
by Galeanda on February 25th, 2008
Upstate NY is not an area with an immigrant problem now. That happen 200 years ago lol!!
But really, this area has more a problem of people wanting to get out of here and go where tax es are lower and there are jobs available. There aren't even the kinds of jobs where immigrants, legal or illegal, could find work.
by Hazard on September 20th, 2007
Yes. My step family is struggling with that right now. They want to go some where up north so they can get a job but they are not citizens of the U.S. If there wasn't a checkpoint, they would be working right now.
by Highlander is semi-retired from AB on August 9th, 2007
No, not to a large degree, but it is a concern (Canada).
by HOUSTONLONELY on August 9th, 2007
Texas, yes, big problem.

Here in Central Florida we've got a huge population of illegal immigrants. We also have a significant Puerto Rican population, so it makes it easier to go undetected.
by Lippycow on May 18th, 2007
Yes we are havin problems in the UK with illegal immigrants they come over from France by hiding in lorries and coming over in boats,the city were i live is a port city and we have had loads coming over from Holland again hiding in lorries.

It is here in Virginia...but not as bad as other places in the US!
by Henderson on March 7th, 2009
yeah it is a problem.
by Halskiisaklink on August 9th, 2007
No. I think the skinheads the government recruits to patrol our shores kill them on sight.
by excelsior on July 29th, 2009
so I guess we have to accept the influx of milions of immigrants whilst we are paying our taxes for welfare foodstamps and transportation and road and school use for them right? and accept that? go back to your country and fix your own country instead of crawling over here and making babies.. Its disgusting the crowdding around here. the quality of life has gone way down due to overcrowding and the budget deficit. Maybe if tax laws wereenforced then these peopel would think twice about coming here.
by lea on March 7th, 2009
In a very Big way.
by Anonymous on July 17th, 2008
Absolutely. Texas is a hot mess.
