The 12 to 20 million are here to stay. Their removal is completely impractical. They are well embedded and have a few million American children.

That they would self deport is the redneck fairy tale. The outcome of tougher enforcement will simply drive the illegals from taxed payrolls to untaxed ones. Half are already on the untaxed side...if this idea worked why have they not gone home?

You might want to note that initial Summerlin occupancy occured prior to 1990...roughly a thousand homes by that time.

Crime viewer can be reasonably misleading. Crime tends to cluster on main streets. Thus a bubble with Charleston included will show much higher numbers than one displaced a bit to leave Charleston out.

For comparing neighborhoods zip codes are more rational. Note crimeview is strange. There are no homicides for instance...and no category for sex crimes.

Note that while the famed incident of the 311boyz occaured in Summerlin the Boyz were mostly from Centennial...not Summerlin.

One should note that this is all probabilistic. The liklihood that your kid will get shot at PV is much less than at say Las Vegas High. It can happen at any high school but is less likely at some than others.
