Well, it looks like Georgia is starting to get a taste of what southern Californians have been dealing with for many years now. I lived in the San Fernando Valley near Los Angeles for about 10 years. The one thing that I remember clearly from watching the local news on TV is that so many times when the police would go to arrest a Mexican gang member at his place of residence, it would turn out that he was living with his parents.

Assuming that the parents know what their sons are up to (and how could they not), whey do so many Mexican parents condone their children's gang related activities? Could it be that gang activity is such an integral part of the Mexican culture that it doesn't upset or surprise the parents when their children join gangs?

I live in this area of North Fulton County (Georgia) and it is predominantly white middle class families. The sad fact is that the vast majority of the crimes in this area are done by blacks and hispanics who make up a very small percentage of the population.

Some of the LA latino gangs, like White Fence, are into their third generation. Of course the parents know what their kids are doing.

Too bad, Georgia, California tried to warn you. Thank your open borders politicians for giving you the "wealth of diversity". Learn spanish while you're at it, it's going to be your new language.
