Spotted in an article about yesterdays immigration rallies:

At a rally in Phoenix that drew about 15,000 people, there were opposing views.

An illegal immigrant from Mexico declared “We are not criminals. We’re looking for work to support our families.” But a 40-year Phoenix resident said “I want to send them back. They’ve completely destroyed our city.” (emphasis mine)

Think about the ways possible to “destroy” a city, or at least degrade it.  Does working as a non-citizen rank up there with, say, mugging people?  I think not.  In fact, I would rank it under even pissing on the sidewalk.

See, when people like this say that illegal immigration is hurting their city, you can basically chop off the “illegal” part.  They mean that the appearance of more “mexicans” (they’re all mexicans to them…) is aesthetically unpleasant to them, a complaint that can be dismissed right off.  The only legitimate complaint that can made against anyone is if they violate the rights of others, and that has nothing whatsoever to do with citizenship status.
