How many cities in California has this happened to? Dozens

I can name at least a dozen in southern California alone. It's unbelievable what this state is turning into, Mexican colonias like Tijuana.

Rialto California in the early 70s was a beautiful place. Orange groves - sleepy comfortable community. Five years ago my mother-in-law finally sold out and moved to northern california after the second drive by shooting and the forth time her house got robbed. At least now it is very diverse.

I returned to California over this Thanksgiving when my father died. It was even worse than I remembered it. L.A. has ceased to be an American city; it is so very clearly a Mexican city. Mexican elements and interests dominate L.A., so much so that it is basically a third-world toilet of a city, save for a few isolated oases of cleanliness.
