Not saying it’s true, just something to think about.

100% Agree. I was a tradesman...so the Illegals I seen and met were all very hard working. I also speak the language, so I speak to alot of people also in public. I am in New England area...so I feel your sentiment.
I am in the Southwest and the illegal population has grown steadily with little to no impedance - especially since Obama's term. Unofficially I would venture a guess that it is just shy of about 20 percent of my state's population is here illegally. Many of them even vote and they have the cajones to brag about it.
As far as many of the trades are concerned, unless something requires a high level of training - like for a card carrying iron worker or an electrician - many of the other jobs associated with lower skilled trades have been taken over. I have heard many complaints from Americans that are literally being pushed out of these jobs. You were lucky by speaking another language. I have seen the same process occurring in health care over the last twenty years, give or take. Receptionists and other front office personnel, along with some back office health care workers, are overwhelmingly bilingual and are being preferred in the hiring process. Many non Spanish speaking applicants are more and more being passed over for hire. That is sadly just a sign of times with changing demographics - but much of that demographic change is being driven by illegal immigration. I have been advising young people that are interested in a career in health care to plan on learning Spanish as part of their curriculum. It is just the reality of the employment landscape these days.
I am not blaming people that come here and take advantage of what the US is essentially giving away for free - all while we, along with our children and grandchildren, are picking up the check. I saw so many abuses to our immigration policies, tax structure, and welfare system, that I could write a book. I did not start out being jaded about it all. But, seeing and experiencing the abuse that is destroying us is hard to feel good about. I think the worst part of it all is dealing with those that benefit from all these giveaways, and are at the same time, ungrateful for them and still demand more. Then they turn around and say how great their country is - and it is not the US.
