I live in an upper-class, mostly white neighborhood. Everyone here works their asses off to keep the neighborhood looking good. And it’s always a fairly pristine area, except on Halloween night. Suddenly, there is no parking and the neighborhood fills with Hispanic children and their parents. The nearest neighborhood with any kind of Hispanic population is five miles away. They start here at 4pm with the little kids… and it doesn’t stop until after 10pm. Six hours of handouts to people who have been bussed into the neighborhood by their parents. I wouldn’t even mind so much, if the parents were polite and they kept the place clean. But they don’t. The next morning, the sidewalks are littered with all kinds of crap. Pumpkins have been smashed, houses have been egged, and once my car was broken in to. And when I check the security video – it’s never the local kids causing the problems. Just the imports.
