Once again California is at the top of the national news every day.
The apocalyptic images of massive wildfires and destroyed towns like Paradise are gone.
Now the whole country is watching scenes of tear gas being used against the thousands of illegal immigrants from Central America who are trying to force their way into the United States near San Diego.
I hope the people complaining about how Donald Trump is handling this invasion of our southern border are paying attention to the news.
They might learn something most of us Californians already know.
Unlike most Americans, many of us have been to the U.S.-Mexican border.
We've seen what happens when the sun goes down. We've seen the invasion of illegals that comes across into the U.S. - every single night.
We don't like it and we understand very well how much it has cost our state.
The national liberal media are, as usual, irresponsibly unfair and unbalanced in their coverage of events at the border.
They can't stop showing video footage of tear gas being used to turn back the immigrants as they rush the California border.
In their never-ending effort to make Trump and conservatives look as mean and rotten as possible, the electronic media have made it seem like tear gas is some new and terrible weapon.
It's not.
Tear gas is the weapon border patrol agents use when they're trying to stop a rushing mob of illegal immigrants.
Critics of President Trump's policy and the media should be applauding the border patrol's use of non-lethal weapons like tear gas and pepper spray, not decrying it.
They should also point out that he's following the lead of previous presidents like Barack Obama, who now pretends to be appalled by Trump even though tear gas was deployed at the same border crossing during his administration.
Though you'd never hear it if from the liberal media, many of California's Latinos, who now make up 39 percent of its population, are also unhappy with the invasion of illegal immigrants.
But few Latinos who support Trump's immigration policy will dare to say so because they fear a backlash in their own community.
The Latino laborers and gardeners who work for rich white liberals also are afraid to say anything positive about Trump for fear of losing their jobs.
They keep mum - and the liberal media ignore them.
When the media reporters do their immigration stories for TV, they interview liberals and Democrats to show how compassionate they are toward the poor illegals.
They also interview conservatives and Republicans to show how they aren't compassionate.
Somehow they never manage to find those everyday Latino workers - many of them here legally - who are worried about losing their jobs to new immigrants.
The only Latino I remember being interviewed about the serious problems caused by the arrival of thousands of Honduran migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border crossing was the mayor of Tijuana.
He told the immigrants of the caravan the hard truth no one in California could say without being branded a racist, "We don't want you here in Tijuana. Get the hell out."
It's too late to save California with a tougher immigration policy or a higher border wall.
Decades of liberal Democrats have already wrecked the Golden State with their high taxes, bad regulations, transit boondoggles and over-generous social programs for citizens and non-citizens alike.
Now we have a newly elected Democrat governor, Gavin Newsom, who is for open borders and things like universal "free" health care.
With a super majority in both houses in Sacramento, Newsom will be able to do anything he wants and the state's surviving Republicans won't be able to prevent California from becoming the Venezuela of North America - with open borders.
Maybe ya’ll don’t vote. Otherwise, you’d have different leadership.
“Gerrymandering” has been defined as a process by which politicians choose their voters, rather than the other way around.
California is an example of gerrymandering on an international scale.
Democrats only see them as a new pool of permanent DemocRat voters.
Yes both democrat leaning and republican leaning people just don’t get out and vote. Many think it’s stupid to vote or perhaps even a bit ‘fruity’
BUT REMEMBER
When a republican wins it’s by 10s of thousands to millions of votes depending on the race. A close vote is won by the democrats no matter what. BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEATING SCUMBAGS.
Exclusive–Ann Coulter: GOP ‘at Point of Extinction’ Due to Mass Immigration
Unfortunately she is right, but she forgot to mention that it will not “just” affect the GOP but the nation as a whole. With a little luck President Trump may get another term, after that it will be down hill from there on and before long the good old USA will be nothing more than a shadow of its former self, and you might as well kiss the goose which laid the golden eggs goodbye. The only way a populace will change directions if something severely hurts their pocket book or inflicts great pain such as an all encompassing war or some natural disaster of biblical proportions. Perhaps then people may realize what they have lost and get together once again with a different vision and version of how they may bring things back and make it work at least until he next screw up after some one decides once again to try a different flavor of socialism-liberalism and start the same destructive garbage cycle all over again.
OK, let all the illegals in, but dump them in Malibu and Marin County.
Let the rich liberals have exactly what they have clamored for.
What Republicans need to do is scare current gimmedats by pointing out that giving bennies to new the illegals will decrease the amount of bennies available for them as legal citizens.
Advertise how much illegals get from US per month, as compared to what SS and welfare recipients get. Then point out that the Dims are creating voters by offering to give them bennies STOLEN from legal citizens.
Then watch how fast the Dim voter base loses their “compassion”!
Exactly true but it wasn't always this way. Now the dems only care about power. Nothing else matters to them. Destroying America in the process means nothing to them. In fact most of them want to destroy America. They have no idea what that means for them though because their tiny little brains can't see the bigger picture.
But where would companies get cheap labor?????
All That....and 50cents will get you a cup of coffee anywhere in town, - bring your own cup.
Californians don’t care about such arguments. They will cut off their nose to spite their own face. Example: they voted for 3 billion in stem cell research (which has yielded almost nothing) because GWB was against it.
“We don’t like it and we understand very well how much it has cost our state.”
Really!? Then why do they keep electing the most pro invaders politicians in the country?
There's absolutely nothing about the place that I find appealing.
Fakenews. All Californians vote for the Democrat-Communists. So don’t tell me they are on Trump’s side.

On a more practical note, Conservatives do not put as much effort into pre/post voting periods as do the Democrats. They actively plan, advertise, and even cultivate their leadership. Democrats rabble rouse, demonstrate, and infiltrate. Republicans do very little or none of that. Why is it a surprise that liberals take more ground?
If Conservatives really want things to be different, they need to become active in every way. I tried to get a Republican action committee set up in my end of Georgia; however, everyone was positive that angry blogging on FreeRepublic would somehow affect governance.
