(Sorry, hit "post reply" before I was done.)
I've been fighting a two year battle with my neighbor. He's a renter. He came to my house when he first moved in, introduced himself, and asked me to sign off on him building a "sidewalk". There was no mistake in the language; He's Hispanic but spoke fluent English. The next day I woke up and discovered he had removed all of the trees and bushes between our houses, and extended his driveway all the way to my property line. This is because he runs a landscape business from the house (that he rents), and he turned the driveway into parking lot for his small fleet of trucks.
Two weeks ago was the straw that broke the camel's back. I filed a complaint with the police department claiming that there was an "unusual amount of people living in the house" and that one of them had told me most of them were in the US illegally. The cops moved in and arrested everyone except for the renter, who was the only legal resident in the house. Gone are the six or seven Mexicans that spent their nights standing outside of the house talking on cell phones, and gone is the fleet of work trucks. I have my neighborhood back.
Don't call me a racist. The guy across the street is also Mexican. Husband is an electrician, wife cleans houses, two nice kids. He told me about becoming a US citizen; I've eaten at his house and even celebrated the 4th of July with him. He's proud to be an American and I'm happy to be friends with him.
But if your breaking the law, here illegally, taking from "the system" without putting anything into it, well, your a criminal.
