Embracing hispanics isn’t the problem. Most of the country, CA included, welcome legal Mexican immigrants. CA has always had a large Mexican and other latin American residency. The difference is they used to mostly be legal. I think you think anyone who wants illegals run out of the country are racist and just won’t quite come out and say it on this forum. Arizonans didn’t cry out for this law because they don’t like “hispanics”(a stupid term)but because they are tired of illegals killing, raping, robbing and committing other crimes in Arizona.
It’s deeper than that. Go to San Diego and then check out a Texas border town. The border in CA is like a demilitarized zone, and the Texas border is virtually seamless. The mindsets are totally different.
