There is a story about Mexicans and their proclivity to keep each other oppressed at their own expense. The story goes like this. Matter of fact, it goes exactly like this:
On an ocean pier, two men are fishing. One man has a bucket, half full of crabs. The other man notices that the crabs are trying to crawl out of the bucket and warns the man with the bucket of crabs that the crabs will escape. "Nothing to worry about my friend", replies the man with the bucket of crabs. "They're Mexican crabs. As soon as one gets high enough to get out, the others will pull him back down".
Hopefully, the bucket of Mexican socialists in the California crab bucket, known as the California Legislature, will continue to pull each other down.
I sense an implication in your reply that both Parra and Florez are of Mexican heritage.
If that's correct, I would suggest you check your facts.
