I live in Los Angeles and I am in my thirties. In the small amount of time I have lived I have seen whole areas around LA turn into what I can only describe as something from the third world. The river I use to play in when I was a kid is fenced off and covered in graffiti. There are people with shopping carts ringing bells selling ice cream and tacos walking along all the residential sidewalks. I went down this one major street though LA and everything for miles was in other languages and people were just eating on the sidewalk as if they were at a park and I even saw some chickens running around. They believe that there is no reason to learn English and why should they there are whole areas now that are 99% Hispanic.
My dad still lives in a city called Bell Gardens, I remember at one time in the paper the whole city council became Hispanic and flew the Mexican flag above the American flag at city hall until a lot of people complained. When I was a teenager it was really hard for me to get a job in the area I lived and when I did I was made to feel very unwelcome and people would speak Spanish around me. I eventually moved out of that area and I have black and even some Hispanic friends that feel the same and think things are out of control.
Like everyone here most of my family came here to follow their dreams. My grandparents on my dad?s side came from Italy and you will never see my dad or aunts and uncles waiving a Italian flag or hanging one in front of his house or on his car like his neighbors, or speaking Italian.
As far as crime goes my dad has been burglarized about 5 times, and I would say about 95% of the crimes committed against me were caused by Hispanics this includes two robberies, one stolen car, and many burglaries, and one identity theft (after burglary phone account was opened in Huntington Park 99.99% Hispanic my car was also found there. Also two car accident no license or insurance. I know a lot of this can be blamed on social economic reasons but that hasn?t helped me. Most Hispanics that come are hard working people but when they raise there children not speaking English at home and they do bad at school I guess its easier to turn to crime.
They say that we need cheap labor. I have traveled all over the US on business and whom do I see doing the jobs in the north and parts of mid west. The work at the mall, fast food, car wash, on and on, usually Americans may they be teenagers, retired, or just someone trying to make a little side cash. Here in California forget it. You use to be able to make living driving a truck, construction, among other hard jobs now all those job pay nothing. I tried to get the union in at a oil company that I worked for when I was 19 (I was one of four white people not in management and no blacks.) The owners said go ahead we will just fire you all and the Hispanics caved because they knew they had made the job worthless.
I work with a very diverse group of people half of which are from other counties and all came legally and have become US citizens, and they all ask me what the @%#@ is wrong here why does the US let this one group do this!
One of two things that would help would be for everyone to speak English. Language is at least something that a county of many races can all have in common to hold us all together. And second would be to change the constitution so that at least one parent has to be a US citizen to be born an American.
I know people are going to call me racists but I can only write about what I see.
