Why don't we just greet illegals at the border with fanfare, bunting, and a brass band? Tables will be set up with forms...voter registration forms and forms to get welfare, driver's licenses, free medical care, free tuition, and all the other freebies American citizens don't get. Then air-conditioned buses will take the newcomers to their nice free homes. We citizens and legal residents will just have to bite the bullet. We'll have to take second jobs (if we can find jobs at all,) and we'll have to do without in order to pay for all of it. After all, it's the "humane" thing to do, and "they're going to come here anyway," so we might as well "face reality" and do the compassionate thing!

Good Lord. What am I doing in this state? This HAS to be the stupidest state in the union. I've lived here for over 30 years, and I'm about ready to bail!

I have lived here for over 40 years, and I AM bailing. I just can't take it anymore. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley and watched as it became a third-world slum in a big part of it. I got tired of being taxed to death on everything, listening to Spanish chatter, and all of the giveaways to the illegals. I just don't want to live like this anymore. On top of that, the place is just way to crowded. Frankly, I can't think of anything good about this place.

I get the feeling that's exactly what Bustamonte wants to do if he's elected. That MEChA racist is very frightening...

The more I read about California the more I wonder why any good, hard-working American stays there at all. Yes, I know it has great scenery and weather, but is it worth the taxes, the oppressive regulations, the general goofiness of that Legislature and Governor? Yes, by all means, if you can, bail!
