OK, we live in LA. This looks like the desert, which stretches for hundreds of miles outside of LA, all the way to Las Vegas. Did the article say where it was? Did they ask these people what kind of education they had gotten for themselves? What kinds of jobs they had been doing? LA is very expensive, but there is the whole rest of the country.

I don’t know. I don’t trust the Beeb without more information. I haven’t seen this anywhere in the local news. I just have a couple of hundred questions before I get out the hankie, that’s all.

Local news has now reported that many of these people had come come from out of state to squat, and are now being told to go back home, and those remaining were told they could stay only if they could prove they were Ontario residence to begin with.
Some of these people had come as far away as Florida.
