CALIFORNIA Under Mexican Occupation - HEARD ENGLISH TODAY?

CALIFORNIA UNDER MEXICAN OCCUPATION: No Legal Need Apply Here!
Los Angeles is characterized by THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR as the “Mexican gang capital of America” – the County of L. A. pays out $50 million PER FUCKING MONTH in welfare to ILLEGALS! There are only eight (8) states that have a greater population than Los Angeles where 47% of those with a job are illegals using stolen social security numbers. There are 500- 1,000 Mexican gang related murders every year in Los Angeles, and 95% of all homicide warrants are for ILLEGALS.

The La Raza Dems, FEINSTEIN, the war profiteer, BOXER THE WORTHLESS, BARONESS PELOSI and her Mexican serfs, and CLOWN WAXMAN all want OPEN BORDERS, AND CONTINUATION OF THE LA RAZA DEM POLICIES OF NO ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS PROHIBITING THE EMPLOYMENT OF ILLEGALS, NO E-VERIFY, NO I.C.E. ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS, NO MONEY TO KEEP ILLEGALS IN PRISON, AND CERTAINLY NO I.D. SO ILLEGALS CAN EASE THEIR WAY INTO OUR VOTING BOOTHS LIKE THEY DO OUR JOBS!

Southern California homeless shelters struggle to cope with economic crisis
By our correspondents
27 January 2010

Many non-profit groups in California that help homeless youth and single mothers suffering from domestic abuse are struggling to cope with the fact that their funding has declined even as an increasing number of families and individuals are seeking their help.
For example, according to a study released on January 20 by the University of San Diego, a private Catholic university in southern California, 31 percent of San Diego’s non-profit and philanthropic sector reported “very negative” effects from the economic recession in 2009, while a further 58 percent reported “somewhat negative” effects.
The study detailed the specific areas where the non-profits have seen their funding decline: 72 percent reported a fall-off in investments or endowments, 65 percent saw a drop in corporate or individual donations, 54 percent reported a decrease in contributions from local government sources, 50 percent reported a decline in state funding, and 32 percent saw a decrease in revenue generated from increased fees or services.
The World Socialist Web Site spoke with Dennis Clarke, director of Micah’s Way, an all-volunteer non-profit that provides emergency services to the poor in Orange County, which is situated just north of San Diego and is known as being one of the wealthiest areas in California. In 2005—that is, before the onset of the current economic crisis—the county was home to 35,000 homeless people.
According to Dennis, Santa Ana, where Micah’s Way is located, “has the highest density of homeless in the United States.
“Our main job,” he explained, “is not to alleviate the problems of homelessness per se, but to alleviate the problems of poverty.”
Dominick Corradino, a board member and food coordinator, noted the difficulties that Micah’s Way confronts. “At this level,” he said, “we’re simply just feeding families and taking care of them and not bringing them up from poverty, because we’re not equipped with enough space.”
In regards to the type of people that they are helping, Dennis explained they have “always dealt with the very poor—those who have to decide between food and shoes, or food and gas, in a very wealthy part of the world.” He added, “We are beginning to see more people who have hit the streets as a result of the economic conditions. Mostly, it’s the same people, the dispossessed, poor people, people with a lack of education, people who have succumbed to drugs and alcohol, people with mental disorders, and so on.”
Dominick also said that they have noticed more families sliding into poverty after losing their jobs. “Today, there was a family that volunteers took us out to. They were living in their van. They lost their house, they lost their job, and they lost everything they had.”
He also talked about the dire situation facing the elderly in a trailer park near Santa Ana. “My mother’s rent is going up, but her income is stationary. There are people in her mobile unit who can barely make rent, so they sell part of their medication to get food money. There are a number of organizations that bring food on a regular basis and it all disappears. I bring a loaf of bread down and it’ll be gone by the end of the day,” he said.
Dominick described the general poverty afflicting the area. “This morning when we were delivering Christmas packages, there were three or four families living in a three-room apartment and sharing the rent. That never gets seen. I remember seeing tenements in New York City when I was younger, with the clotheslines and everything,” he recalled. “But you don’t see tenements per se in Santa Ana. It’s all covered well.”
As Dennis explained, the immigrant population is especially vulnerable to economic and social hardships. “The big problem is establishing trust with people who are undocumented here. Most people won’t even go to a church for help; they fear they are going to be turned into the ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement]. Micah’s Way keeps its files in such a manner that if a cop does come looking for someone, we have absolute deniability because we do not keep such information on a computer.”
Micah’s Way is experiencing difficulties maintaining its operations, hanging by a thread financially. According to Dominick, donations have fallen significantly. “We now measure our existence in terms of how long we can go without another donation—how long can we stay in business? I think we’re out to 5 months without another donation. That’s the reality we live with.”
The WSWS also spoke with the director of St. Clare’s Home—a shelter for homeless and battered women and children in San Diego since 1983—and two women who came to the shelter seeking help.
Ronnie Root, a case manager at St. Clare’s Home, told the WSWS, “We have four staff. We used to have four to five counselors, and a Drug and Alcohol Abuse Director—a total of 20 people. We downsized tremendously. The problem with volunteers is that they’re not consistent.” At same time, she noted, “Our phone calls have been doubled.”
