Have illegal Mexicans affected your family like this American woman and her family?

Where I am from, it is really bad. They are EVERYWHERE and commit crimes continuously. My sister's car was broken into 4 times in one year. There has been a HUGE upswing in rapes, robberies and murders and the description is always "Hispanic male." A dead Hispanic male was found floating in the pond at the apartment complex where I lived a few years ago and other ones are found all the time everywhere. MS-13 is very bad here and gang-related crime is ridiculous. People are afraid to go outside at night. The police will not do anything because there is nothing to do.

I had a serious health issue a few years ago and my husband had to stop working to take care of our son who was a baby because I was in and out of the hospital for months. We tried to get assistance (which we are entitled to as working, tax-paying American citizens) and were repeatedly turned away because the money was gone. We do NOT live in a poor area (that's why illegals come here) and the money was gone. One of the times I was leaving the social services office(having to WALK and push my baby in a stroller because we did not have a car), a Hispanic woman I'd seen filling out the application for assistance came out of the building behind me with her approval paperwork, got into a white Cadillac Escalade & drove off. We eventually moved from our apartment at one place because there were 12 Hispanic people living in a 2 bedroom apartment next door and after they moved in, our apartment became so infested with roaches and bedbugs that we could not live there anymore. We had to leave all of our furniture behind because it was infested and could only take our clothing.

I also worked at a grocery store for a little while and it absolutely disgusted me when they would come in and pay for their food with foodstamps, then for the non-food items the husband would pull out a wad of money. And I mean a WAD, like barely able to fold it over huge. I saw that every single day.

The people who tell you these stories like the one above are not lying. They are not exagerrating. It IS a crisis and something has got to be done.

After living 35 years in our beautiful home town of Tucson we had to move 5 years ago. Tucson started to change in the 1990`s.

by 2000 In Tucson we lived behind iron barred doors and windows. We had a 6 ft block wall around our back yard, 30 by 40, that our daughter played in. Twice we found men inside this enclosure trying to pry the bars off the windows. She could not go in our front yard without escort. The illegals roamed the streets and often would come to our door asking for money, directions, or water. Which we gave of course but never money. We lived 4 blocks from the school but we had to drive her there and pick her up because it was to dangerous for her to walk home alone. Helicopters nightly searched with huge search lights for criminals often lighting up our neighborhood. One Hispanic man was caught by police hiding in our trash container. Mind you this was a good neighborhood. We sold our house for 240K.

We moved to small town Kansas. Now our daughter can run and play. She learned to ride a bicycle with in the first week of our arrival something she could not do in Tucson.

When we moved here there was no English as a second language in the school.

5 years later there are now 17 students who can not speak English and only Spanish in the school.

It is the same with all the schools in Kansas with on average 15 new non english speaking students per small town school.

You can bet your life that Obama would never tell THAT story in his typical Political BS speech.

Obama has battered Arizona with mind blowing force. He abandons Americans, defends and supports Illegals, Injustice and Fails to uphold the Law. He will just "change"it. Abuse of Office!

The Federal Government does not obey it's own Laws. The President has lead this heartless and vicious attack against Americans. He supports the Government lawsuit against Arizona.

I "hope" he and his loved ones experience the retribution he deserves for his callous and illegal stance on all the issues he has promoted and accomplished against America. Impeachment is due!

It is sad that programs and charities that used to help Americans are over run by them. Parkland in dallas had to write over a $100 million in bringing anchor babies into the world and that is just one hospital in Dallas. It is a shame and all politicians tat put up with it should be remove. Since the lobbyists are going to give them a record $4 billion this year * and most of them have spouses or children that would for said lobbyists, then voting them out and they will shape up.

This story makes me really sad. I'm not wasting my money on taxes in America when I grow up; I will simply move to New Zealand or Australia, and pay taxes for services that will actually benefit me and the common good of my community.

The person who wrote this must've studied way too many soap operas. I was caught right away by the heart-string pulling genuineness but it somehow lost its magic when the writer decided to put in theatrics:

"Monthly, I have mini strokes. During those times, I lose the ability to speak well, and have seizures until I lose consciousness"

The last bit of the letter confuses me, a church isn't part of the government, so why would they be asking for her to ID for some food?

Yes, I have heard and seen alot of that type of thing going on in my state too. It is pretty sad that American citizens can't get help if they need it but an illegal can get handed about anything they want. Something is very wrong with that picture.

I am from the Denver area and I have seen that since almost 10 years ago.

The er at denver general was totally packed with them 10 years ago.

No American President has the balls to do something including the current one.

I admire Jen Brewer greatly.

I am appalled and sickened by people who would say such a thing. I grew up rather poor and still sometimes struggle to make ends meet.

seriously, I would love to have a word with whoever wrote such a thing to find out exactly what happened to make them act this way and say these things. I dare her to lie to my face. she wouldn't be able to. she'd break down right in front of me and beg me not to tell eveyone she lied for her own selfish reasons and hatred toward illegals, no, all mexicans. yes. I called her racist. does she know if they're all illegal? no, but she'll say that they are in a letter. written word, that she is so sure they can't possibly be legal.

My father worked with mexicans, I never questioned their legal status, but they were as nice as can be, and very hard workers. they didn't steal things, they got stuff stolen from them. something I actually witnessed right before christmas.

seriously, I don't care how many thumbs down I get, this is absolutely sick.

I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Wouldn't you like to kick Hillary in the fat a**?

Our country is not the same.

Thanks Hillary and Barry. I wish they had to shop at our local Walmarts.
