In Stockton, Calif., which has just entered into Chapter 9 bankruptcy, 41 percent of the people do not speak English at home and 21 percent cannot speak it very well, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

And that’s just the numbers for city officials. The average citizens.... far worse.

So Stockton is stocked with illegal immigrants.

Just as Rush (and Leno) have said, there is a new word: Illegal Democrats.

It’s coming, folks. You can avoid it, put it off, but it is indeed coming and it will not be pretty.

Be prepared.

Also 21% live at or below the poverty level. Funny how this number equates to those who don’t speak English doesn’t it!

Not all foreigners are equal. This list of foreigners are doing very well, and we could use lots more....

Following list is a small fraction of highly skilled LEGAL immigrants from India. Most were educated and acquired their skills in India. Their education did not cost US taxpayers a dime. None of these are on welfare or any other tax payer subsidized benefits. They are not only paying lot of US taxes, their contributions to the economy is priceless. This is how immigration should look like. Encourage only highly skilled immigrants. We already have a surplus of unskilled labor pool.

Bible history teaches us that God gives nations to His people. Then, when His people turn their back on God, He gives those nations to His people's enemies.

We murder 1.5 million unborn children every year; we applaud faggots for their "courage" in being true to themselves; and we've thrown God out of education, government and most religions/religious denominations.

How long did we think we could do this with impunity?

"Be not deceived. God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

The news is blaming the housing crash for all of Stockton’s problems. I used to go there to visit family before the crash, and although some parts of the city were ok in their gated communities, most of it was still the gang infested hell hole it had been for quite some time.

“California has more people on MEDICAID than Georgia, New Jersey, Michigan, or N. Carolina have PEOPLE.”

Well, I guess Jerry can just keep printing lots more CalStateGov bonds and IOUs in violation of the CalConstitution as long as the suckers keep buying ‘em.
