How has immigration affected your life? (legal, states, Muslim, foreign)

[BicoastalAnn]

All the recent news have been bringing out a lot of polarized views on immigration. I'm curious what the effect immigration has had on your actual neighborhood/town/city, rather than on a macro scale. Not talking about morality, principle, or idealism. Those are important, sure, but I'm more interested in what you are seeing with your own eyes and in your own life.

And I'm hoping immigrants can also participate, because surely you may also be affected by immigration that followed yours.

Stop all immigration until Americans are taken care of.

My states something like 96% white...

I'd say if you don't like immigrants you should move here since we are having a lack of population issue but I'm not sure a bunch more angry white people would really fix it.

How has immigration affected my life? I immigrated here legally in the mid-90s and am now an American citizen. So I would say pretty significantly.

My suburbs have been flooded over the last few years with foreigners. Ugly faces, muslim and foreign attire, and loud foreign gibberish heard, congestion and bad drivers is now a common scene. Sometimes they try to crowd my personal space with their higher numbers but I'm a big boy and can stand my ground. It totally lowered the quality of life.

Haha fair enough but what do you think immigration has done to your town? Think about the immigration growth or decrease you've seen after you.
