Argue the points all day and night long, but I've lived in California all my life (except for 3 years in Spain) and the above is ABSOLUTLEY part of the problem. I've watched whole communities turn into ghettos because of MASSIVE immigration and their refusal to assimilate. I've seen entire communites in Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Ontario, and San Diego counties turn into barrios. This is okay? When is enough? Do we get to preserve our standard of living, and do we have the right to maintain it? How many can we take in yearly? 1,000,000? 5,000,000? 18,000,000? 35,000,000? I have NEVER gotten an answer to this question!
Have ANY of you heard of the "sinking boat" scenerio?
Not only that, but like white farmers in Zimbabwe, the American tax payer is discriminated and does not benefit from amnesties, but only continued prosecution by the INS for hiring illegals, while the foreigners get away with it. That means we lose the farms and they get the farms... remember the suit by illegals against WalMArt... and trial lawyers behind it all...
California is one of the largest welfare havens in the country. State welfare benefits are just that. state benefits. The Feds have no control over them. Maybe California should take a page out of the book of Texas and make work, even minimum wage, pay better than welfare. That goes for all on welfare not just illegal aliens.
