Must have been a trump supporter. That’s legal really.

Most of the wealthy and well off have illegal house/yard servants. Politicians, business people, celebrities etc., they all have servants. They love it because their servants don’t live in their neighborhoods, and they can pay them peanuts. Another reason why the wealthy like the endless flood of cheap labor.

People like that should be exiled to where their servants come from.

Pacoima. HUGE Mexican population in Pacoima. Even way back in the day it was a no-go zone for los gringos. Back in the 1960s, in our many haunts throughout the basin and the valley, we avoided Pacoima.

I'm a fourth generation Hispanic who largely grew up in Pacoima back then and I would agree with that assessment, although the population there then was 50/50 Black and Hispanic. Now the place is little Tijuana and pretty much unlivable.

Have you been to Pacoima? It’s bad. I wouldn’t stop there either!

Yes, but the swearing-in ceremonies are conducted in Spanish.

Should an illegal driver find his car undriveable, he’ll run away.

Back then, we were charged extra on car insurance for “uninsured motorist” coverage.

Interesting.

A "no-go" area for negroes, or chicanos, or indians, or whatever is considered intolerable racism and must be ended forthwith.

A "no-go" area for White People, however, is perfectly acceptable ...

Yes, folks, there really is such thing as "systemic racism".

It's just not the "systemic racism" that some people spend their lives whining about.

I understand. But he will always be with you.

We are both blessed to have had the fathers we had.

Stopping in Pacoima is SUICIDE for normal people.

In the SW states, the swearing-in ceremonies for citizenship ARE conducted in Spanish.

Really! :(

OMG!!

Oh, well.....

Thank you for your service, Sir.

Actually...that explains a lot.

Major new road construction in the area where I live. Three guys working and a supervisor. Lovely work! Tried to congratulate them. Not one of the four spoke English!

I live in Missouri!

Per the full article, he was seen to be trying to get back up when the 2nd car hit him.
