Whatever miniscule good they may contribute is negated by destroying Colorado, Oregon, Wash State, ad infinitum..
It looks like I’m not going to change your mind, so I won’t try. Just getting tired of folks spreading malicious stereotype lies about California. First of all, Wash DC is the primary conduit of evil and corruption in the nation. I’ve been there and seen it, it stinks and it’s a filthy place. As for wetbacks, plenty are coming up through Arizona and Texas to the rest of the nation. The ones who come up into California are migrants who go back and forth for the jobs. Lots of them leave as well as come. Can’t say the same for those coming up through the other states. As for Colorado, Oregon and Wash State they’re doing a fine job destroying themselves. I’ve been to all three of them and I never saw so many useless hippies, more than I’ve ever seen in California. Remember, California gave the nation Reagan. It used to be republican until transients came here from elsewhere and ruined it. Some of us haven’t given up on it, and are trying to flip it back to conservatism.
