Those are excuses, or the sellers are really old school immigrants.

Period.Get rid of services to illegal immigrants & anchor babies.

For me it has been positive.Many immigrants are fixing to leave and are selling of businesses.They built a model on paying under the table etc. so there workers 100 would be 100 versus our 100 after everything is taken out 65 to 70 bucks.Many restaurants with the new reform will not be able to maintain profit margins with the new costs and will simply sell off or shut down.I am getting commercial short sale listings with immigrants leaving the country.On the flip side I hear landlords worry when a majority of tenants are immigrants.They feels they might go to being full to a huge vacancy and cash flow problem.Labor costs might rise for contractor rates.It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

They're on their sixth prime minister in five years.

My folks are immigrants and I am gonna tell you, they had to learn American English Gosh Darn It!

What's the opposite of immigration?

Tom, Quite the contrary, I am looking to sell these homes, one at a time, to retirees, and actually where more interest seems to be coming from is from the immigrant community who feel they can afford a house even making Wal-Mart wages.What needs to be understood is the perspective of people in, say, the DC area, who are looking at homes starting in the several hundred thousand dollar range.

South in SC the mayor commissioned a task force lead by a minister (heavy emphasis on community councils) to fine landlords for leaving tenants garbage curbies out, any police action due to noisy tenants, require a local agent to stand in for the landlord (including allowing entry for codes inspectors, fixing problems noted etc)They want all landlords to register.

In 1997, during the Asian financial crisis, then Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad accused Soros of using the wealth under his control to punish ASEAN for welcoming Myanmar as a member.

Perhaps he saw other immigrants go on to be much more successful than himself.
