re:They live indefinitely ten individuals to a one bedroom in the crowded inner city of American cities The ones I met and picked up or dropped off lived in an apartment complex around 185th and Burnside in Portland, OR - far from the inner city. They did have ten or so living in one unit - but they've spilled out of the inner cities over ten years ago and into the suburbs. Determining the status of illegal issue on the national level by looking at what's happening in Portland or Seattle is like looking at Mt. Hood to get a sense of what's happening with glacier melt in Antarctica or the Arctic Circle. There is some resemblance but its fairly minor. There are large sections of LA, Chicago and NYC that are all illegals. I literally have seen 10-15 guys sharing a one bedroom apt. with 100 apts in building and all the units rented to illegals. The landlord rents to them by the person rather than charging one rent for the entire apt. bldg. It is well known in LA that if you rent to an illegal, there will be at least 7-10 people living in the apt. within days of signing the lease. From those neigborhoods, the city gets little tax revenue but often has to provide considerable city services. So the area becomes a major drain on city coffers.
