My parents moved to California from Long Island, New York in 1974.
My sister and I were already there.
When my family moved to California, we voted Republican (and still do, though not in California). In many elections, we voted straight GOP down the ballot.
I lived there for seventeen years and I saw no shortage of native-born Californians who voted liberal. Then there are the voting age anchor babies, who vote majority RAT.
I understand what you are saying about people moving there from other states, but remember Ronald Reagan moved to California from Illinois.
The flip side of that coin....Barbara Boxer, from New York....Adam Schiff, from Framingham, Mass.....Nancy Pelosi, from Baltimore, MD.....etc.
I think the biggest problem is the illegal alien invasion. Reagan’s amnesty deal, which he regretted later, gave amnesty to millions of illegals who then proceeded to vote mostly for the RAT party. Then there is the anchor baby situation, where illegal aliens pop out a baby and just like that....poof!....an American citizen with voting rights at age eighteen.
The president floated the idea of abolishing birthright citizenship. I wish he would pursue the idea.....it’s many decades long overdue.
Birthright citizenship was never meant to be for outsiders coming here. It was created solely for black American slaves, who had been denied citizenship despite being born in the U.S.A. It wasn't until much later that liberals twisted the law and manipulated it to allow illegals to have anchor babies. The law needs to be re-established to its original intent, giving birthright citizenship only to babies of American citizens. Others falling outside of that rule can apply for citizenship, same as others who come into the country from outside.
