This is the last of my 4 part series on immigration and coming to America. In Brockton we are a melting pot and that diversity can be a positive force. We can all learn from each other. In Brockton we have double and triple families and some you will see as many as thirty people living in those places. I will not report those places specifically but will inform you in this article how many illegals are abused by people and how they are caught up in a trap were if they talk they are dammed and if they don't they are dammed too.
Some landlords will charge $100 a week per person and let 6 people live in a two bedroom apartment. If that building has three apartments the landlord can potentially get up to $8000.00 a month for a building that if legally they did it would receive $3000.00 a month. I can see were the temptation comes to make $50,0000 extra a year. The illegals are not going to say anything and the landlord is not going to say anything. The illegals are trapped in a housing situation that is much better than in their own country but with American standards is substantial and also against the law to have that many people in a building due to city codes but no one speaks up.
A facility just outside the Brockton City limits is an infamous residential place that is constantly abusing their tenants and charging outrageous rents but if the illegals speak out they are out and if someone reports the landlord the illegals are out. No one reports it and the abuse keeps happening. Another injustice that happens to illegals is their employment. In many cases they are paid under the table and they are dominant in certain industries in the city of Brockton. If the illegals report they have no work and no money. The owners of these businesses when they are reported are very rarely investigated and if they are caught the fines are lenient and in many cases they go right back to hiring illegals. The city of Brockton has its share of illegals and has its share of people abusing them we can turn a blind eye and say someone else will protect them or report them but I am not going to do it. The illegal situation is only going to worsen if we don't have a new policy and fix for the problem. We can keep dancing around the subject but on both sides people are losing out. The legal aliens who are making the American dream come true and are getting a bad name from the illegals who are committing crimes and the illegal aliens who would love to be legal but cant or wont because if they report their situation they are deported or will loose their jobs and their homes.
