I see less ill effects than a lot of media outlets are laying out. The health care thing is BS. The idea that they commit more crimes (besides simply being here, which is victimless) is BS. The idea that they are a source of gang crime more than our own citizens is BS. The idea that it's easy to get here legally is BS (at least from impoverished countries).
Yes, there are concerns, mainly that they are breaking a law, but civil disobedience to bring about positive change in law or society is what I'm all about. I'm not saying they're all consciously doing this, but that's the effect.
Still, it'd be nice if more made the effort to learn English. My Spanish is still pretty bad.
