Welcome to the wonderful world of barter, where real value gets created and exchanged without ol' Uncle Sam taking his cut.

I love it!

The real answer would be for Mexico to make the changes it must make and people can have a good life in their own country.

My sentiments exactly. For victory & freedom!!!

[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. ]

That is my plan. Of course, we plan to move out of Texas to hopefully another state. It will have to be a much poorer state - one that has nothing an illegal could want - no semblence of jobs, I mean.

We intend to get back to raising our food, we did all the years our children were growing up, make just enough money to get buy and enjoy life.

Let's let the government figure out how to support them.

Dropping out of the 'system of servitude' is the only way to do it. WE can no longer fight it.

Let's face it, they ain't gonna stop immigration. We got the Mexican's for labor. We got the Pak's and Indian's for tech. What the hell do we need a bunch of rebellious American's for? Especially white American's. The way things are going though, I'd be suprised if we don't have a little civil war here sooner or later. Maybe that's why they added all the whiz-bang new gun restrictions to the Fatherland Defense Act.

Things I've bartered for and recieved.

Extensive electrical work on my house.
Extensive landscaping.
24" enclosed car trailer.
Hi end pool table.
Complete brand new shed (big one).
Automobile.
2 trips to Curacao.

I try my hardest not to give the Gub-mint MY HARD EARNED MONEY only to have them give it away on social welfare, foreign aid including underwriting loans that are later turned into "grants", corporate welfare etc.....

I'm way ahead of you pal :)

California is slowly turning into a third-world country.

That turn was about four years ago.

Sorry, you are wrong on that score. If you ever bothered to look at Drill Alaskas' map, you would know the whole west coast is affected.
You may think we don't care, but we do, we take action, thro numbersusa.com, emailing news articles to our prez, senators, and represenatives. I have 23, live, honest to goodnes, hard working, people who I send free faxes for.They donot have computers, and it is ok to sign them in on your personal computer. When you sign in, email them and ask them how you can add your family members, neighbors, friends. I have a sister that faxes for 6 other people.
I sent a free fax to the gov of Calif objecting to the signing of the bill for drivers license for illegals. When he did'nt sign it, sent another one thanking him for not signing. it is like a cancer,slowly eating its' way all over the US. Let me know when you get 23 signed in on your computer to send faxes for, then I will forgive your remark about people in other states do not care. lol

They are importing not only poverty, but racism and terrorism. This government is not working for us, it's become very obvious it's working for some destructive entity, but it is not working for us.

You've hit on the solution. California has a budget problem, the dems want to raise taxes to get rid of it, but if they would enforce the penalties for hiring illegal aliens they would make a bundle of money almost overnight.

No jobs, no reason to come here.

Can you say I-N-V-A-S-I-O-N-?

It sure feels that way in California. And all of us law-abiding tax-paying good citizens are having to pay to support this invasion. It's a nightmare beyond belief. Don't forget that our gov is a democRAT and both houses of the Legislature are controlled by democRATS. We're in for it, people.

I guess they are not coming here for jobs.

I wonder what the attraction could be?

They have good weather in Mexico so that's out as a reason. - tom

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

We can only do so much.

Thus far, I have convinced my school-age nephews and nieces to take German rather than Spanish in school.

I know that's not much, but they will be better off for it.

Imagine if every illegal in California wore a Mexican army uniform. That might get people's attention.

LOL! You cannot imagine what goes on here. Some neighborhoods look just like Mexico! I'm not kidding. They even have these food carts that they push up and down the neighborhoods. No way can they pass health standards. And you call up a business office and can't understand the Spanish-speaking person. It's everywhere. Frightening! And I'm talking Bay Area and Central Valley. You'd expect LA to be like that. We're being absolutely overrun. And they all vote for democrats.
