To blame what is happening on the policies of local politicians is nonsense. They are just reacting to what is happening.

That is total BS, It has everything to do with local politicians. I don’t know about your area, but in my area, Los Angeles, they don’t check your I.D. when voting. Since 1980 where I live has turned from white to brown. Back in the ‘70s they were closing down schools because they didn’t need them, since the year 2000 there is something like 30 new schools in the works. There is no denying that the majority of students are illegal aliens, only the number is disputed. Most of these kids live in small houses with multiple families and few of their parents speak English or have more than a 3rd grade education. 60 percent of the children are born to single mothers. The mothers are on welfare and work under the table. While the mother is working there is nobody to watch over the kids and they end up joining gangs as a surrogate family. The police and the schools are not allowed to ask anybody if they are here legally, city policy. The city helps them pay rent in apartment buildings that become breeding grounds for illegals and gangs, city policy. Americans have been forced out of Los Angeles and have moved inland into the deserts. Manufacturing Businesses moved out. Nobody wants to live in a desert where the temperatures have wide temperature swings between day and night. People don’t want to drive 2 or 3 hours to work a day, but they do just to allow their kids to go to decent schools. The reason the housing situation is so bad is because there are as many as 6 families in one house, a normal family can not compete with this.

Where are the poll watchers? If the election officials in charge of the polling stations aren't complying with the rules, the party poll watchers can report it. I have served as a Rep poll watcher.

Back in the ‘70s they were closing down schools because they didn’t need them, since the year 2000 there is something like 30 new schools in the works.

And who is responsible for preventing illegal aliens from entering the country in the first place? LA city officials? We are taking in 1.2 million LEGAL immigrants a year with 60% coming from Latin America. One in every three residents of California is Hispanic and one in four is foreign-born. Big cities like LA are magnets to legals and illegals. And the Hispanic birthrate is twice the general population's.

The police and the schools are not allowed to ask anybody if they are here legally, city policy. The city helps them pay rent in apartment buildings that become breeding grounds for illegals and gangs, city policy. Americans have been forced out of Los Angeles and have moved inland into the deserts. Manufacturing Businesses moved out.

LA is a lost cause. However, I don't hold the local politicians the most responsible. They are reacting to and coping with an invasion of illegals across our border and with a failed immigration policy. Many communities are organizing grassroots organizations to fight back [I belong to one], but the courts, state officials, and the federal government have not been cooperative. In fact, the courts and groups like La Raza and the ACLU have been fighting us every step of the way. And so has the Dem party.

How do you explain the Westside? Some of the most expensive housing in the country.

Besides, all that has moved to the Antelope Valley (ie the desert) are white trash, black trash, and Latino trash that have been pushed out of LA by the high cost of living.
