That's why your government are prepared to turn a blind eye to their presence in your country. Perhaps they were pushing it a bit by going on a march but, in the main, they seem to just get on with things, without complaining too much. But, of course, as they're not "born and bred" there, they don't really have a right to complain about anything, do they?

I am sure you will find illegals in Culpepper. We have a huge population here in Georgia. It's true, the U.S. government has been ignoring this situation for over 20 years now. Used to be only a problem for the border states. Now it's nationwide. People are fed up with the crime and drain on public resources. We understand why folks want to come here - we'd just prefer that they do so legally and then assimilate once they arrive.
It's not true that hispanics do jobs that Americans refuse. Recent example. Raid on several Swift Meat Packing Plants. A slew of illegals arrested. Next day, hundreds of LEGAL citizens lined up to apply for those jobs. Black, White, Hispanic, Asian. Americans are not work shy, believe me.
