I'm a native Californian born in Los Angeles County before WWII. There has been a massive influx of Mexicans which contributes to a growing chaos. There have been black riots which with one exception were mishandled by the local politicians. However, local officials were hamstrung by Federal interference in local affairs. This interference helped nail Los Angeles. For example: The LAPD had IQ, plus physical size(Minimum 5'10" and weight in proportion) and strength requirements. Such requirements were deemed "discriminatory" by the Federal Judiciary. The judiciary opined that IQ requirements kept blacks and Mexicans off of the force. The size requirements kept Mexicans, Asians and Lesbians from being police etc.The Los Angeles Police Department is now hopelessly "Diverse" and of course will become like like a Mexican "Policia." The blacks are busy gathering "bonuses and pensions etc.

Lastly,over the last twenty to thirty years a coalition of blacks, homosexuals, Non-Christians, Mexicans and Asians formed for the purpose of " their rights" and began to gain control-(Translation oust the whites and seize the wealth!) ( For an example illustrating a coalition exists I give the following from the Sacramento Bee Report Dated June 24, 2010: " Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, joined Latino, Asian, black and gay lawmakers outside the Capitol in support of the resolution." [Sacramento BEE , June 24, 2010 Susan Ferris][Resolution was the Boycott of Arizona]"

It is truly a growing mess out here. My wife and I have been thinking of leaving over the last few years as our last child has now "flown the nest."

You’re my contemporary, my being born in ‘43. Living in Illinois for most of my life, I can say California is not alone in its ‘diversification’. Being an agricultural state except in our urban areas, we have our own influx of illegals that we deal with, along with their inherent activism. Not as advanced or infused as your region, but here nevertheless.

You paint an ugly picture, and I don’t blame you for considering a move. Just, be careful where you pick, if you pick. More and more areas of the country are being infiltrated as I note above, and you could well be making a change that isn’t as opportunistic as you may think.
