Moises Avila was alone in the office, staring at the screen of his desktop computer. A Spanish-language game show blared from the TV. February usually is a bonanza month for the America Travel Agency, the business Avila runs at the corner of Whittier and LaVerne in East Los Angeles. Holy Week is in April, and most of Avila

Seeing as how L.A. is a sanctuary city, if their economy is being screwed up by the President, then my assumption is the President is withholding our tax dollars from them and letting them struggle with defending an invasion of illegals on their own --- which is exactly what We the People elected Trump to do. That's called "Winning" and I like it a lot. Our tax dollars are better spent elsewhere.

Calling this guy a travel agent when he’s really just a coyote working out of an office.

The joke of an “economy” wreaked havoc on me during the 8 years of Obama.

You can bet I’m sick of the lies, the spin, the fake news - all of it. I’ve been to the edge of the incredible disaster they created and covered for. Along with nearly 95 million other people.

I happen to work in East LA and can tell you that the only businesses being impacted by Trump are the ones that cater to ILLEGAL ALIENS. Grocery stores, doctor offices, auto repair shops, etc are doing just fine. Attorneys and travel agencies in this area rely solely upon illegal aliens.

The bakery shop is not failing because of Trump. Illegal aliens are still going to work, driving their cars and shopping at stores. As a matter r of fact, the Mexican bakery where I buy my morning torta (Mexican sandwich) was packed at 6 am today.

This article is a load of crap.

Yes, the middle class was decimated under Obama.

I agree with your comments.

Hope things are on the uptick now.

And those are tickets purchased with under-the-table cash and welfare benefits paid by us, the taxpayers (who cannot afford to travel or take time off work for “spring break”).

“I flew on Aeromexico once. I had never heard a jet backfire until then.”

Did it do it in the air, or on startup? I understand they mix frijoles with the jet fuel! Last time I saw one of their planes, it was a clapped out old first-generation DC-9. I don’t fly foreign flag carriers any more, because you don’t really know if the crew knows how to actually hand-fly the airplane. This is particularly true with the two Korean airlines and it’s what lead to the Asiana “crash” at San Francisco a couple of years ago. The ILS was out and these a$$holes didn’t have the piloting skills to manually fly the approach. Crew: Wee Too Lo, Sum Ting Wong, Bang Ding Ow and Ho Lee $hit!

How is it just because you work in a region, you suddenly know the status of all those people who are in cars driving by and those going into all these businesses?

How in hell could you possibly know what everyone's immigration status is?

"Stop Trump, Legalization Not Deportation.”

Go back to your home country and STFU.

Muy bueno!

It could be that all of their East LA clients were down in Anaheim last night rioting in the streets.

A little vandalizing, a lot of spraypainting gang signs, some smashing property, terrorizing the locals.

A good time was had by all. Unless maybe you are old stock white America in which case you deserve what you get.

“If they have Green Cards, they have nothing to worry about...............”

Not necessarily.

Green card holders can lose it and be deported for criminal convictions.

Which is a good thing.

Well, well, well, all of those illegals that don’t even belong here and are allowed to get drivers licenses, vote illegally, apply for benefits paid by tax payers, and go to left wing liberal schools to learn to vote democrats into office. Hasta la vista baby!

“An entire neighborhood with an economy built around selling airline tickets to Mexico. Imagine that!!”

We have entire cities in LA County, and a few developing in OC, based on Mexico First.
