I have a little different perspective. My neighborhood is a blue collar multi-culti neighborhood. For 40 years it was a safe neighborhood, in a nice little town.
However in the last five years, a significant number of illegal immigrants have crowded into the apartment complex two blocks away. Gang (MS-13) and other criminal activity in our once quiet little town has increased exponentially. Our schools go on lockdown a couple a times a month as they look for criminals with weapons. We've got day laborers urinating in public and blocking the sidewalks so kids can't walk to school. We've had a some murders, but carjackings, robberies, beatings, rapes and prostitution are more popular crimes.
Older people don't walk like they used to in my neighborhood. The kids don't play or ride their bikes anymore. The police cars and helicopters rushing to capture criminals don't make us feel any safer. I refuse to buy a gun, but some of my neighbors are now heavily armed.
And before anyone calls me a white racist, I would like to point out that we are multiracial. This isn't about race; this is about a culture of lawlessness that illegal immigrants have brought to our neighborhood.
