syl I have heard in the media on more than one occasion that the estimate for illegals is 12m, but could be as high as 20 to 30m, but no one really knows?, how could they with open borders?, this has been going on for decades. After WW2 the Department of Immigration with the help of the elected officials began easing the restrictions than were in place. Over the last several decades there has been an explosion of those who have entered the country, like a tsunami of illegals, as far away as El Salvador, and many have been gang affiliates...........it didn't stop there, this country took in 50,000 from Cuba during the Carter years. Carter told its dictator if he would allow at least this many to come our door would be open to receive them. He did, Castro's finest, "he opened his prison gates". We got each and every one.
Not only from Cuba, but a flood of refugee's have been allowed to come into this country from the Dominican Republic, or rather Haiti.........thugs, and gang associates.
Along with it has came a crime a wave in around Miami, which used to be quite a city to vacation in, is now like LA.
Chicago is the murder city, unlike the days of Capone, and unlike the wild west..........its a city completely out of control that is controlled by gangs. This just scratches the surface. This problem began building during the Kennedy years, and for all that was suppose to make things better, in reality made things a thousand times worse..........Gangs, dope, alchohol, guns, and government run programs helped to fuel it. In particular HUD.............at one time Downtown Chicago was quite a place, and many of the areas of Chicago were really nice, great schools, and had some of the most beautiful parks, and places to go for family activities for every season.......Now its duck and cover, the outlying areas of the city just blocks away from downtown, south, west, and north are gone, crime ridden, drug invested, all the way into the suburbs and beyond.
