I grew up from age 6 - 14 only a few miles from the biggest illegal worker encampment in Southern California. Thousands of illegal aliens all living in an encampment, with their own restaurant and soccer field, tucked away in the hills behind the flower fields..
Never had any problems. None of the kids at my school were raped. Can't think of a single incident or stolen item that could have been definitively attributed to an illegal alien. Someone tried to break into our house when I was 10, I scared them away. The intruder was white.
So I think the scare mongers are full of it. I don't think we should be giving government benefits to illegals, but I don't think scaring people into thinking illegal aliens are inherently bad people is the way to go either, because in my experience they'd be wrong.
The dangerous crowd appears to be those involved with illegal drugs - not those looking to earn cash. Stop the drug war ... stop the violence.
