I suppose this question be asked from either side, but I've been wondering for awhile why places like Arizona have completely freaked the fuck out about the MESSICAN INVASION while my little urban hellhole, not without a history of racial animus and tension, seems to have barely noticed. South Philly has a large and growing Mexican population and oddly it barely registers. I get that border states have some additional issues, and I'm not saying the scale is precisely the same, but at least at the quite local level hardly anyone is bitching about the existential threat of illegal immigration (no idea what proportion of immigrants here are legal vs. illegal).
