In one month, in one state, a motor vehicles department gave out 41 driver's licenses to people assuming the identities of the dead.

California's head of homeland security thought there were safeguards to prevent that kind of identity theft. If all this leaves you feeling even more uneasy about the law passed this month giving undocumented immigrants the right to have drivers' licenses, it should. I see dead people . . . driving

Powerful gay men. Vulnerable teen-age boys. Murder. For years, some prominent local men who led secret lives were rumored to be protected. Whispers surrounding another important man's death prompt the question: Is there really a conspiracy? bakersfield.com - The Lords of Bakersfield

Gray-out Davis has conceded that he has lost touch with the voters. Governor Davis returning to the site of his inaugural ceremonies in Sacramento, acknowledged on Wednesday that he had isolated himself over the past five years by talking exclusively with lawmakers, lobbyists, and his staff at the expense of real people. He said that was a mistake. Here's the quote. "My vision is to make the most diverse state on earth, and we have people from every planet on the earth in this state. We have the sons and daughters of people of every planet, of every country on earth." He said it. Now, you toss this guy and Wesley Clark in a hopper, combine the two of them, and you may have the I.Q. of a pencil eraser. Well, at least the political acumen. "My vision is to make the most diverse state on earth, and we have people from every planet on the earth in this state." What the 9th Circus Was Really Up To

A California college professor who grew up in a heavily Hispanic-populated area says there has been a major paradigm shift in the type of immigrants that live in California now.

Dr. Victor Davis Hanson teaches classics at California State University, Fresno, one of the 23 campuses in the California State University system. He says when he grew up in the nearby San Joaquin Valley, the majority of the population were Mexican immigrants who had become Americans and who made a genuine effort to become "acculturated" and to assimilate into mainstream American society.

Hanson believes that type of immigration established a healthy pattern for all concerned. "When people came from Mexico in numbers that were smaller and would allow greater chance for assimilation -- along with legalities so that they didn't live in the shadows of society -- they were less likely to be exploited by employers, they were more likely to vote, and they were more likely to learn English," he says.

But now, the professor says, thanks to uncontrolled immigration, the region's population is composed mostly of illegal aliens who live in separate communities, isolated from mainstreaming influences. California Scholar Says Most 'New Immigrants' Fail to Assimilate

Does this not mean anything? FreeRepublic has already been sued by the LA Slimes and the Washington Post, and a warning was received from The Onion last week.

Unless, of course, permission was received from the author of this article. In that case, never mind.

My family's lived in California for over 120 years, and I agree with Hanson. The borders are a federal issue being ignored by the federal government. The problems become the state's and cannot be ignored.

.....if everyone's leaving California, how come they're building thousands of new houses? Go 25 miles north of Los Angeles and it looks completely different than it did 5 years ago because of all the new houses and shopping malls that have been built recently......and they can't build them fast enough because new developments are still in the design and construction stages.......

Folks its the white middle class that is leaving. It is being replaced by immigrants of color from other coutries, primarily illegal. The people leaving are fleeing to the surrounding states where it is cheaper to live and there are not as many illegals. I am retired and when my 85 year old mother in law passes on we will look seriously into leaving the state. Both my wife and I are 2nd gemeration Californians. I hate to say it but the state is rapidly going down hill. I realize I am saying this as a senior citizen and my outlook is different than a younger person. But that is how I feel.

Shouldn't that headline read:

Americans Are Fleeing The Golden State At An Alarming Rate"?

All I know is that my husband is counting garbage days until his retirement, and then we are getting out of here as fast as possible.
