>That may be true in some circumstance but it wasn't true in LA. First of all, its against the law to rent to illegals. Its an issue that seems to get lost with some people. They are called illegals because they are violating American law on several different levels. And there is a cost we are all paying for those violations. Yeah, but underlying the reasons for making them illegal in the first place is racism. If they weren't illegal, they could rent apartments. -Z

The barrio I lived in, in Oceanside, CA., consisted of very small bungalows constructed in the fifties for service people at Camp Pendelton. I bought a house there, since the price was right and I had no trouble getting along with anybody. Most of the barrio was Hispanic, with a few blacks, a few white re-pioneers like me and some Pacific Islander-Americans. Most of the neighborhood was rentals. The first owners had been mostly Hispanic, were familiar with the way things worked, and knew they could make more money off renting their former starter house to 20 illegals they could charge $300/mo each to than to one family they could only charge $800/mo. It was a no brainer. $6000/mo. vs $800/mo.!? The worst that could happen was INS swooping in and deporting all the tenants, with no penalty for the landlord - which never happened in the 10 years I lived there. There were three houses just on my short block that worked this way.
