Primetime Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson used a segment during his show Friday night to focus on a recent report that rated California last in terms of quality of life among the 50 US states.
"How do you take a place that was as world famous as Eden and in 50 years, make it the worst place in America?" Carlson asked his guest, radio talk show host Ethan Bearman.
When Bearman suggested that overpopulation might be one of the reasons for California's poor quality of life, Carlson interjected.
"Hold on, where do the majority in the past 30 years — where do the majority of those people come from?" he asked. "Do they come from the Midwest? No, they came from a third world country. Do you think that might have something to do with it?"
Carlson continued: "The overwhelming majority [of immigrants] have come from Latin America. And a lot of them are awesome people, and smart, and add a lot, and even the super poor ones, I think a lot of them are really great people. But the truth is, if you import millions of really poor people with no education, it doesn't mean they are bad people, but maybe your state gets a lot more like the countries they left."
As the conversation proceeded, news chyrons flashed at the bottom of the broadcast.
"California Chaos: Drug Needles in the Streets," one read.
"Is California Turning Third World?" read another.
In response to Carlson's segment, California Rep. Devin Nunes, the Republican chair of the House Intelligence Committee, took to Twitter to blame California's troubles on high taxes.

Only the willfully blind don't see it.
Those are perfect.
If you let any part of California secede, the Chinese will be there almost immediately to “help out, advise, defend”. This new Caifornistan will need a foreign protector, the hard core left will invite them in, in a heart beat. They have no other choice ( Mexico ? .. That’s a laugh!). What other foreign power could defend them. The only one is China. You want China at the Rockies? I prefer China where they are, on the other side of the Pacific.
Other problems if we lose California, we will be forced to retreat from the Pacific. Our influence will greatly diminish all along the Pacific rim. We might even lose Hawaii - also Guam.
The best solution for California, is the electorate repent their many stupidities and elect a responsible state government. Second best solution they try to secede, we squash it. Arrest the leadership & do a reconstruction on California, break it up into 3 to 4 states.
How much of that is an attempt to preemptively prevent them typical anecdotal "evidence" the left uses? If you say there are many millions of immigrants, both legals and illegals, producing far less than they consume, thus making the country poorer by their presence, the left will name a few who have become rich to "disprove" your point. It looks like Tucker is admitting that there are some who are successful and should be welcomed in a merit based system, but that doesn't change the effect of the immigration tsunami we have.
“Like Human Nutria, wrecking an ecosystem.”
More like the brown tree snakes of Guam.
“I think the new name should be either San Franshitshow or San Franshithole. “
Maybe San Fransuckshow.
Exactly what I was thinking. If we can’t point out the many problems illegals and third world immigrants cause without calling them “awesome,” “smart,” “adding a lot,” and “really great,” then that is the problem. When we must kowtow to illegal aliens, flattering them and praising them so they won’t get mad at us and call us names, then that means they rule over us. There’s a saying, something like, “Who are you not allowed to criticize? That is who rules over you.”
The best solution is to deport, end birthright citizenship
and make it more expensive to hire H1-B Visa holders than
American citizens.
Our biggest problem is the 700 federal judges with many activist judges.
The law is clear, California’s governor and sanctuary city leaders
are breaking the law.

California....El Salvador del Norte.
Also Denver-—they just passes rules that allows defecation & urination in the public streets a NON-ticketing activity.
Maybe Mexico can send a few Car Plants to help out California
California is becoming a state of Mexico. The Democrats are in denial of this. They honestly think they are saving poor Mexicans, while Mexico forces its poorest and most uneducated people out of their own country into California. There are communists in SoCal that resemble Tijuana now, streets are in disrepair, crime, drugs, poverty, etc. The goal of Mexico is to place enough of their own California to annex it into their own country. And California liberals will comply thinking they are doing the best thing. Once it happens, Mexico will confiscate their wealth and property. The liberals will cry foul, but they will have lost everything. Mexican politicians will move into the mansions of Oprah, Sean Penn, Jane Fonda, Alec Baldwin, Joy Behar, Whoopie Goldberg, etc. They will confiscate their homes and wealth. An do you know who they will blame? Trump.
Agree! That’s actually part of my “best solution” also. They still have got stop electing fools like Governor Moonbeam.

I don't quite see what you complaint is, if that's a complaint.
Mr. Carlson is preemptively taking the wind out of the sails of any Leftists who might have otherwise accused him of racism, Islamophobia, "throwing everyone into the same pot," or forgetting to pay the fines for overdue library books. You correctly point out that some Leftists would have probably tried to "roil the waters" by changing the discussion to one about the few - really rare - exceptionally successful "immigrants." Mr. Carlson's tactic effectively prevented that. Notice, though, that Mr. Carlson cleverly did not specify how many "immigrants" are "awesome people," because doing so would have been playing into the hands of the anti-borders crowd.
You may have noticed that one of Mr. Carlson's frequent ploys (I say that admiringly) in numerous different debates (about gun-control, immigration, global warming, etc.) is "Well, what would be the 'right' number?" Because regardless of the number the Leftists cite, no number makes any sense without controls (i.e., vetting, walls, etc.).
Regards,
No, it means that Mr. Carlson is a master debater (please, no jokes).
By admitting that "some" are "awesome," Mr. Carlson deprives the Leftists of, say, 90% of their rhetorical ammunition.
And besides: It's absolutely true! Some (ain't gonna say how many) are probably genius-level.

Why California Should Be More Like Alabama — Seriously
"Many Californians would bristle at the notion of being bested by Alabama. But employers aren’t so picky: Toyota and Mazda announced recently they’ll invest north of $1.6 billion dollars to build a new factory and create over 4,000 good-paying jobs in Limestone County, Alabama. This only increases the state’s vehicle production: In 2016, Alabama assembled over one million vehicles employing over 40,000 employees."
Right To Work State.
Uh, one point of correction. there are very few of them that are smart. they are the dregs of Latin America. Do you really think a Mexican dentist is riding in the back of a Coyote’s crapvan to stand out in front of Home Depot for some $6/he roofing work? I don’t think so.
They are dumbclucks and unemployed and mostly unemployable in their home country. And many are violent, addicted and all are criminals.
Since Walmart does not allow over night RV’s anymore on its parking lots, similar shopping areas are doing the same.
So now, we see old RVs parked off main streets near warehouses or the edge of the city limits. This got worse as the winter on the west coast got colder after Thanksgiving.
There is an upscale invasion of better rvs on our service roads near the highways. During the weekend there is often a mile or more of big truck rigs parked on those roads along with the better and up scale rvs.
Both disappear during the work week with the trucks going back on the road. A friend has an enterprising adult son, who is making a good living servicing the above. He or people that he hires move the rvs off the service roads on Sunday evening or Monday morning when the trucker is on the road. They park the rvs all over and don’t violate the 5 nights of parking in the same spot.
Then, on Fridays, they take the rvs to a dump station and empty the tanks and get the potable water tanks topped off. Then, their “maid service” clean the rvs after they are returned to the service road. He then stocks the rvs from a list from each customer.
Some of the truckers are men and some spouses drive their trucks as a team. Other spouses/friends live in other areas and come up on the weekend.
The fellow, who does these chores said that this is being done all over California.
Creative workers making a life in a high cost state like California.
‘Castaways’ in motor homes feel stranded on society’s fringe

The 2017 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count tallied 4,545 campers and RVs in L.A. County that possibly serve as makeshift dwellings. In short, one of America’s least affordable housing market forces people to find creative alternatives for shelter.
I happened upon the situation about a year ago, trying to find a shortcut on my commute home. I exited the jammed 110 Freeway in South L.A., turning onto Broadway to a landscape dominated by warehouses and light industry. At 133rd Street, I noticed numerous motor homes, most in a state of disrepair, lining both sides of the road.
I found similar encampments in Manchester Square, a once-thriving neighborhood just east of LAX being converted into a transportation hub for the airport. In a surreal scene, scores of homeless people scratched out an existence beneath the endless string of jetliners landing at the airport.

That is the problem, although I understand that San Diego is still somewhat conservative. So, it could be split into two states and the rest can GFT and we have the corridor to the pacific.
Denver Colorado just made it legal to shit in the streets too.
