I can’t help it but suspect that everything from or in the “news” is intended as diversion of attention from away from something else. There are illegal immigrants EVERYWHERE, even right here around NYC. Many or even most from Europe.
The Hispanics are abundant and easy to spot, but the ones from EU or Russia etc are invisible until they open their mouth and say something. When shopping in Costco or local malls, the foreign born has to be about 30% at least around here.
