I live in California; a state that has a huge number of legal and illegal aliens. According to one web source, California has 40% of all illegals in America (with approximately 41% of those settling in the L.A. area). That is approximately 3 million people with that number being added to by, a conservatively estimated, 300,000 per year.
Another web source advised that California spends between 9 and 10.5 billion dollars per year just for the schooling of the children of illegals and for keeping incarcerated (convicted) illegals, and for uncompensated health care. Predictably, this socialist mentality by our courts and leaders has lead to a conclusion that can be reached by anyone with an understanding of 4th grade math -- California is bankrupt.
Now a scary report; according to another source, “Some of the most violent criminals at large today are illegal aliens”. Let’s take a moment to point out the fact that the loony liberals have insured that these poor misunderstood criminals cannot be profiled and checked for immigration status. Even a person who is known to be in felonious violation of immigration law can not be stopped and arrested by local law enforcement.
Now consider the epidemic of sex crimes in northern California that are being perpetrated by “spanics” and Mexicans. Then consider that most of these violent criminals are gang members. There are, not thousands, but tens of thousands of armed and demonstrably violent street gang members loosed upon the people of our state. Since they have the money and resources for buying arms, many of these have the local police departments out-gunned. How’s that for a comforting thought?
Also, it is hardly a secret that the Hispanics control the drug trafficking in this state. Not surprisingly, some of the illegals pay off their “transportation costs” for getting into this country by selling drugs. The trade is so lucrative that many just stay in the business of selling death to our people. It isn’t possible to find an exact number who are doing this but they are as present as cockroaches in a slum.
Here’s my point...
What’s going to happen when the welfare tap is turned off and there’s no more free lunch for the illegals? What will happen when “we the people” are tired of being raped, murdered, robbed, by illegals and are tired of being taken advantage of by politicians who are allowing it?
For an answer, I think it’s reasonable to look at what’s happening in France. The immigrants there (and we’re talking “legal” immigrants at that!) are rioting in the streets and burning everything that’s within reach of a match. Of note is that law enforcement is standing by and doing absolutely nothing to protect anyone’s property or personal safety. There were token arrests but no one was protected. Does this sound familiar? When there was rioting in Detroit in ’67, Cleveland in ’66, Watts ’65, L.A. ’92, and most recently, in Toledo, OH, no one’s property and no one’s personal safety was at any time protected by law enforcement. People died and people were injured (some critically). The point should be painfully clear: the police will not protect us during a riot (nor are they required to). That simply means that the monetary damage for the coming riots will be staggering. And, who knows how many innocent people will be injured or killed?
Please spare me any bleeding heart liberalism by pointing out that many of the illegals are hard working people who are just trying to improve their standard of living. They have no desire to riot. Let me address this by first saying that I’ve personally seen the squalor in Juarez and Baja, Mexico and have been deeply moved by it. Also, I didn’t say that I blamed anyone for desiring a better life. However, it should be understood that the rioting won’t involve all of the illegals. But let’s don’t stick our heads in the sand here. There will be rioting and rioting always brings with it a mob mentality. People who ordinarily wouldn’t riot will be caught up in the matter and will be a part of the overall dynamic. Some of these hard workers will be torch carriers.
The bottom line is that we will need to be prepared to protect ourselves. That includes protecting ourselves from the Demoncrats (sic) and any other such infestation of liberal Anti-Americans who insist on the defeating and overthrowing of we the people at any cost. Included in this house cleaning should be any so-called Republicans/conservatives who stand idly by while the liberals run roughshod over us and strip us of our inalienable rights. We must give diligence to take whatever steps to rid ourselves of leadership who disallow self-protection and preservation and who have little regard for the gravity of the violation of our women by brutal thugs. We voted them in and we can vote them out. This way, in case we cannot prevent rioting, we can at least be prepared to defend ourselves and do so lawfully and legally.
I end with this comment by a witness to the LA riots in 1992. She noted that there were armed Korean store owners defending their property. She says this: "I thought, 'Where are the police? Why are these store owners having to protect their own property with guns?'”. Where, indeed.
The sentence following says it all: this socialist mentality by our courts and leaders has lead to a conclusion: California is bankrupt. And so is the USA.
You're being pretty optimistic there, aren't you?
"For an answer, I think it’s reasonable to look at what’s happening in France. "
If the illegals in America think that they can pull a "Paris" they are sadly mistaken. I think the headline would then read: Immigrants and Riots (Look out immigrants!)
:::Applauding:::
That's right it may cause them to get the mob mentality and riot, those illegals who come to this country to "take jobs Americans don't want" (oh please what a weak argument)
Ya 'reaps what ya sow'!
It isn't going to run out of water until CA is bankrupt, and rioting by immigrants will be the least of your worries.
I will venture a prediction. When the mass riots come to America, and they will come, those in positions of 'leadership'will attack Americans who attempt to defend themselves, their families and their property.
Your almost total panic and hysteria is completely understandable. You are not alone in using "what if" and "if then" logic to arrive at the completely illogical conclusions you have drawn.
Of course you are totally wrong.
Perhaps it would help if you could learn to say the following with total conviction:
"THE SKY IS FALLING !"
...What’s going to happen when the welfare tap is turned off and there’s no more free lunch for the illegals? ...
The political elite don't have the guts. It won't be turned off until it runs dry on its own.
...What will happen when “we the people” are tired of being raped, murdered, robbed, by illegals and are tired of being taken advantage of by politicians who are allowing it?...
Then the political elites will respond. They'll shoot troublemaking Americans down in the street.
Can't let anything get in the way of their Continental Guatemala.
Do what they always do, make more water.
Good question. No one in Washington really gives a rip either. All the talk about fiscal responsibility is just that, talk.

Shoot a criminal rioter, excuse me an insurgent, and get prosecuted and/or civilly sued in most states, Texas being an exception, maybe some other states.
Even then, I'm sure Fedaral charges would be brought. Can't have property owners being the first and last line of defence against marauders.
FYI, California per capita spending in 1998 was 6,200 dollars (source is http://www.ppinys.org/taxes/98spendpercap.htm)
According to the article, CA spends about 10 billion on 3 million illegals or about $3,500 dollars per person or much much less than they spend on citizens.
This is the balancing act that govt. must follow.
Atlas must not shrug and the masses must be appeased and kept from rioting.
Personally, I don't see how the working poor put up with the lifestyle they have. On the other hand, I find my taxes so high, that I am beginning to shrug and work less.
Apt analogy.
But then we are Americans and still know how to shoot and fight.
Yes I agree. It will come down to those who desire to be "neutral" that they will have to pick a side, or one will be picked for them.
