I’d love to know how California “allowed” reconquista. Every single piece of the dam that broke that resulted in this catastrophe — guarding the border, residency requirements, work document enforcement, the awarding of birthright citizenship — is claimed by the UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT as their sole purview. It doesn’t matter whom we elect governor.

By an overwhelming majority, Californians passed Prop. 187 in 1994 to take away medical care, access to schools and other welfare and social services from illegal aliens. It was ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge. President Bush endorsed the ruling. So the Feds said in effect that citizenship Does. Not. Matter. So what would you have had California do? Take up arms?

And I wouldn’t reference the Arizona law if I were you to make your point. Even if it is wending its way through the appeals process, the reconquista crowd gets their way, because it can’t be enforced while they fight it out. Arizona is just like California: you don’t have to be an American citizen to live and work there, and the ONLY people charged by the Constitution with doing something about it have utterly abrogated their responsibility and abandoned us.

And as far as “quarantining” us... your economic ignorance is breathtaking. If you don’t, as you say, care about your fellow Americans, fine. Think with your wallet. We are the richest state in the union — the entire country benefits from our agriculture, minerals, manufacturing — the ninth biggest economy in the WORLD — and you would just build a wall. I’m glad you’re not in charge, and I’m REALLY glad you’re not a Californian.

I’d love to know your state, so the next time you experience a hurricane/tornado/fire/terrorist attack, I can wish you the best of luck.

Yeah, "ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge". One foul, stinking, corrupt Democrat judge... And California just sat there, never appealing, never pressing the issue. Congratulations. It is good to see that Arizona is going pedal to the medal to make sure their version remains intact and enforceable.

And by the way, Bush took office as president in 2001, so who cares what he "endorsed" before that?
