LOS ANGELES - Retired utility worker Charles Warren worries his quality of life is slipping and says that illegal immigrants are to blame.
The 55-year-old retiree complains about day laborers waiting for work outside the nearby Home Depot, saying they give his neighborhood "a Third World look."
"Ten or 15 years ago, the neighborhood wasn't like this," Warren said. "The states are overpopulated, there is oversprawl, and immigration is contributing to this."
After seeing a television commercial that blamed many of California's woes on illegal immigrants, Warren immediately donated $50 to the sponsoring group, Californians for Population Stabilization.
And he's not the only one. Since the Santa Barbara-based group aired the commercials, it has collected thousands of membership applications.
Other anti-immigrant groups have watched their rolls and coffers swell, from California to New York. Most of the organizations are small affairs, started by one or two people, such as California Coalition for Immigration Reform or Save Our State.
Other groups, such as CAPS or Numbers USA, which center on population control, provide statistical data and research-oriented services.
But anti-illegal-immigrant groups say growing interest is a wider backlash against pro-immigrant street protests that swept the country last spring and frustration with federal officials whose immigration-reform bill has stalled.
Critics warn that the upsurge in activity - also being replicated among pro-immigrant groups - is evidence of a growing anti-immigrant sentiment sweeping the United States.

So one group is a full 50 percent of the problem and we aren't supposed to focus on that? It's "dangerous" to deal in truth?

To the author:

I see, when you want to insert your thoughts, you always mention the words experts say. Well, most experts say that you are biased, dishonest, and liar. You know, experts say it!
Thanks for the ping!
I just did a search on “Californians for Population Stabilization” (FTA)
http://www.cap-s.org/main.html
......the link brought me to Rep. Nathan Deal’s proposal to eliminate ‘anchor babies’(birthright citizenship) (HR 1940)

Now, that is a start (even though we may be in the last half of the race.) We can STILL win.
OK. Bed time. C’ya tomorrow.
yeah, I’m long overdue for turning in myself, lol!
Sweet dreams!
Maybe it would make more sense if I stood on my head?
Nope, that didn’t help either!
Is English this person’s “second language” or is this a “translation”? ‘Cause this is a horribly written article!
‘Nite, yorkie, sleep tite!
All illegal immigration groups should announce they're placing the Southern Poverty Law Center on their hate group lists.
This makes my day. LOL. I have yet to meet and talk to a Californian liberal or conservative that subscribes to supporting these illegal yahoos. But then again, I am not hanging around the LA Mayor’s or city council’s offices or Home Depot either.
Anti-illegal immigration. Nata. Immigration for those doing it the legitimate way with no anchors. Yeah!
But anti-illegal-immigrant groups say growing interest is a wider backlash against pro-immigrant street protests that swept the country last spring and frustration with federal officials whose immigration-reform bill has stalled.Somehow I doubt the failure of McCain-Kennedy is the reason cited by anti-illegal-immigration groups.
I think English could be her second language. Her name indicates me that she might have a Latino background, but it can Philippine, too. Here is an interview with her and a picture of hers from 1999: http://www.chipsquinn.org/voices/oneonone/oneonone.aspx?id=629
As I noticed, she is a diversity advocate. I knew something is wrong with her none the less English is my third language.
It will be, if on their terms, the undoing of the United States of America.
