The reason is that the other topics I touched on are things that piggyback on the larger issue of illegal immigration. Language barriers, the overtaxing of publically funded services, the problems that arise when illegals try to "hide" from the system by taking up residence with someone they know who is legal... all of these are sub-issues of illegal immigration -- and they are all happening in my area. They are problems that I have to deal with on a daily basis, and that's why I have such strong feelings about them.

Yes but I don't think you're separating the issues enough. Neighborhoods change. A neighborhood with mansions becomes decrepit with poor people, drug users, and prostitutes. 20 years later that neighborhood has an influx of yuppies who fix it up and drive up prices. It would never have attracted poor people in the first place if there wasn't a demand for those people and attractive prices.
