What can you say? We're being overrun. If someone doesn't do something SOON, we're doomed. This is frightening. For victory & freedom!!!

California is slowly turning into a third-world country.

At the very least, it seems like immigration policy should become more restrictive in times of increased unemployment.

And in California it's a well known established fact that illegals can vote and they vote for democrats.

These new residents are much more likely to be poor and need social services. ping

What an excruciatingly politically incorrect poem. I love it!

Importing poverty helps keep up short term profits for some industries, and increases our taxes. Progress!

Its gotta be the plan...
Fill the country up with the dregs of the third world
Drain the economy
Fill up the prisons
Americans have to give up freedom for security..
America becomes England
America becomes a police state..
NWO wins..game set match

I hope the Freepers in other than borders states wake up to the fact that YOUR state is going to see this same problem eventually if it's not happening now under your noses. This to me in So Calif is the most pressing issue because it comprises a large extent of the economic problem here. I urge all of the Republicans who support GW with your blinders on to take a minute & understand the consequence to this nation currently & future years, Your country is being highjacked under your nose. Get this administration to STOP IMMIGRATION IMMEDIATELY - not because of your lame party love but for your sovereignity & existance.

This is a no brainer. Stop giving the illegal immigrants citizenship, free medical care, welfare, etc., and they'll stop coming.

Just think about it. Mexico is such a hell hole that their citizens FLEE IN TERROR to the United States. Now, rather than blaming the country of Mexico (President Fox) for creating such a disgusting, unhealthy, poverty-stricken atmosphere, they blame US for not wanting to take care of all these illegals. It's infuriating. California is a humiliating mess. The voters passed Prop 187 in hopes of fixing the mess but the courts threw it out and now we're worse off than ever. The democrats prosper under this system, however, and since the entire state is run by democrats, there's no hope. The guest worker program (proposed by GOP) would work ONLY IF THE BORDERS ARE CONTROLLED. Until the borders are secure - and looks like they never will be - we're doomed.

The game is really very simple, and as a result the solution to the problem is also simple. Our government has turned against its citizens and is working to destroy us. They tax us and use the tax money to bring in third world immigrants to destroy our neighborhoods and cities. No amount of protesting or complaining will stop it, and it usually serves to make things even worse.
The solution is obvious. Quit working so hard to get ahead. If everyone who worked hard to get ahead gave up, and instead only worked just enough to just get by, then pretty soon the tax receipts for the government go down to almost nothing. They won't have enough to pay the people already on the payroll, let alone bring in even more.
We can't fight them, we can't plead with them, we can't protest, letters to the editor do no good, and if you raise a finger against then you go to prison for the rest of your life. Therefore there is only one effective way to fight back against this system. Give up!
Quit working, quit paying taxes. Find tax free cash income ways to make your money, or just make sure to make so little that you end up paying nothing in taxes. That is the game and that is the solution. No need for bloodshed, strife or rioting in the streets. Just simply withdrawing from the rolls of those who pay taxes by reducing your income to the bare minimum. That's it. If a majority of the productive do this, then this out of control monster beast of a government will be starved into submission. This is what I have done, and this is my suggestion to the rest of you.

Camarota concluded that immigrants, legal and illegal, and their newborn children account for essentially all of the 872,000-person increase in California's population since the 2000 census. These new residents are much more likely to be poor and need social services.
Gray Davis had been Governor that entire time, and George Bush has been President for most of it.
Neither have been particularly helpful.

Stop giving the illegal immigrants citizenship, free medical care, welfare, etc., and they'll stop coming.But this is CALIFORNIA, pal, where the democrats rule the roost. It's hopeless.
