The State of
California now puts out $22 BILLION per year in social services to illegals
even as 90% of all service and construction sector jobs go to illegals!
ON TOP OF THIS
FIGURE, counties like Los Angeles pay out even more! L.A. County pays out $600 million
per year in welfare to illegals, primarily ANCHOR BABY BREEDERS.
According to CA
Attorney Gen. Kamala Harris, nearly half of all murders in CA are by MEXICAN
GANGS.
THE
STATE LEGISLATURE IS NOW LA RAZA-CONTROLLED, AND PASSES ANY AND ALL LAWS THAT BENEFIT
MEXICO AND LA RAZA ILLEGALS. THE LAST LAW LA RAZA PASSED MADE IT ILLEGAL FOR

Doesn't Exist—It's Now Two States

Driving across California is like going from Mississippi to
Massachusetts without crossing a state line. Consider the disconnects:
• California's combined income and sales taxes are among the
nation's highest, but the state's deficit is still about $16 billion.
• It's estimated that more than 2,000 upper-income
Californians are leaving per week to flee high taxes and costly regulations,
yet California wants to raise taxes even higher.
• Its business climate already ranks near the bottom of most
surveys. Its teachers are among the highest paid on average in the nation, but
its public school students consistently test near the bottom in math and
science.
• Public employees enjoy some of the nation's most generous
compensation, but state retirement systems are underfunded by about $300
billion.
• The state's gas taxes — at over 49 cents per gallon — are
among the highest in the nation, but its once-unmatched freeways, like the 101
and 99, for long stretches have degenerated into potholed, clogged nightmares.
• The state wishes to borrow billions of dollars to develop
high-speed rail, beginning with a little-traveled link between Fresno and
Corcoran — a corridor already served by money-losing Amtrak. Apparently,
coastal residents like the idea of European high-speed rail — as long as
construction doesn't begin in their backyards.
• As gas prices soar, California chooses not to tap millions
of barrels of oil and even more natural gas offshore and below ground.
• Home to bankrupt green companies like Solyndra, California
has mandated a third of all energy provided by state utilities soon must come
from renewable energy sources — largely wind and solar, which now provide about
11% of its electricity and almost none of its transportation fuel.
How to explain the seemingly inexplicable? There is no
California. It is a misnomer. There is no such state. Instead there are two
radically different cultures and landscapes with little in common, each equally
dysfunctional in quite different ways. Apart they are unworldly, together a
disaster.
A postmodern coastal corridor runs from San Diego to
Berkeley, where the weather is ideal, the gentrified affluent make good money,
and values are green and left-wing. This Shangri-La is juxtaposed to a vast
impoverished interior, from the southern desert to the northern Central Valley,
where life's becoming pre-modern.
Near the coast, blue-chip universities like Cal Tech,
Berkeley, Stanford and UCLA in pastoral landscapes train the world's doctors,
lawyers, engineers and businesspeople. In the hot interior of blue-collar
Sacramento, Turlock, Fresno and Bakersfield, over half the incoming freshman in
the California State University system must take remedial math and science.
In postmodern Palo Alto or Santa Monica, a small cottage
costs more than $1 million. Two hours from the Bay Area, in pre-modern and
now-bankrupt Stockton, a bungalow the same size goes for less than $100,000.
In the interior,
joblessness in many areas peaks at over 15%. The theft of copper wire is reaching
epidemic proportions. Thousands of the shrinking middle class flee the interior
for the coast or nearby no-income-tax states.
To fathom the state's nearly unbelievable statistics, visit
the state's hinterlands. As the state population grew by 10 million from the
mid-1980s to 2005, its number of Medicaid recipients increased by 7 million. One-third of the nation's welfare
recipients now reside in California.
But in the Never-Never Land of Apple, Facebook, Google,
Hollywood and the wine country, millions live in an idyllic paradise.
Coastal Californians can afford to worry about the state's
trivia — as their legislators seek to outlaw foie gras, shut down irrigation
projects to save the 3-inch delta smelt and allow children to have legally
recognized multiple parents.
But in the less feel-good interior, crippling regulations
curb timber, gas and oil, and farm production. For the most part, the rules are
mandated by coastal utopians who have little idea where the gas for their
imported cars comes from, or how the redwood is cut for their decks, or who
grows the ingredients for their Mediterranean lunches of arugula, olive oil and
pasta.
On the coast, it's
politically incorrect to talk of illegal immigration.
In the interior,
residents see first-hand the bankrupting effects on schools, courts and health
care when millions arrive illegally without English-language fluency or a high
school diploma — and send back billions of dollars to Mexico and other Latin
American countries.
The drive from Fresno to Palo Alto takes three hours, but
you might as well be rocketing from Earth to the moon.

OBAMA’S DREAM Written
by Roger Hedgecock, former Mayor of San Diego
Posted By: RumorMail
OBAMA’S DREAM
Written by Roger
Hedgecock, former Mayor of San Diego
Wednesday,
25 January 2012
I
live in California. If you were wondering what living in Obama's second term
would be like, wonder no longer. We in California are living there now.
California
is a one-party state dominated by a virulent Democrat Left enabled by a
complicit media where every agency of local, county, and state government is
run by and for the public employee unions. The unemployment rate is 12%.
California
has more folks on food stamps than any other state, has added so many
benefits and higher rates to Medicaid that we call it "Medi-Cal."
Our K-12 schools have more administrators than teachers, with smaller classes
but lower test scores and higher dropout rates with twice the per-student
budget of 15 years ago. Good job, Brownie.
This
week, the once and current Gov. Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown had to
confess that the "balanced" state budget adopted five months ago
was billions in the red because actual tax revenues were billions lower than
the airy-fairy revenue estimates on which the balance was predicated.
After
trimming legislators' perks and reducing the number of cell phones provided
to state civil servants, the governor intoned that drastic budget reductions
had already hollowed out state programs for the needy, law enforcement and
our schoolchildren. California government needed more money.
Echoing
the Occupy movement, the governor proclaimed the rich must pay their fair
share. Fair share? The top 1% of California income earners currently pays 50%
of the state's income tax. California has seven income tax brackets. The top
income tax rate is 9.3%, which is slapped on the greedy rich earning at least
$47,056 a year. Income of more than $1 million pays the "millionaires'
and billionaires'" surcharge tax rate of 10.3%.
Brown's
proposal would add 2% for income over $250,000. A million- dollar income
would then be taxed at 12.3%. And that's just for the state. Brown also
proposed a one-half-cent sales tax increase, which would bring sales taxes
(which vary by county) up to 7.75% to as much as 10%. Both tax increases
would be on the ballot in 2012. The sales tax increase proposal immediately
brought howls of protest from the Left (of Brown!). Charlie Eaton, a
sociology grad student at UC Berkeley and leader of the UC Student-Workers
Union, said, "We've paid enough. It's time for millionaires to
pay."
At
least five other ballot measures to raise taxes are circulating for
signatures to get on the 2012 ballot in California . The governor's proposals
are the most conservative. The Obama way doesn't end with taxes.
The
governor and the state legislature continue to applaud the efforts of the California
High Speed Rail Authority to build a train connecting Los Angeles and San
Francisco . Even though the budget is three times the voter-approved amount,
and the first segment will only connect two small towns in the agricultural
Central Valley . But hey, if we build it, they will ride. And we don't want
to turn down the Obama bullet-train bucks Florida and other states rejected
because the operating costs would bankrupt them. Can't happen here because
we're already insolvent.
If
we get into real trouble with the train, we'll just bring in the Chinese. It
worked with the Bay Bridge reconstruction. After the 1989 earthquake, the
bridge connecting Oakland and San Francisco was rebuilt with steel made in
China . Workers from China too. Paid for with money borrowed from China .
Makes perfect sense.
In
California , we hate the evil, greedy rich (except the rich in Hollywood , in
sports, and in drug dealing). But we love people who have broken into
California to eat the bounty created by the productive rich. Illegals get
benefits from various generous welfare programs, free medical care, free
schools for their kids, including meals, and of course, instate tuition rates
and scholarships too. Nothing's too good for our guests.
To
forestall even a hint of criticism of illegal immigration, the California
Legislature is considering a unilateral state amnesty. Democrat State
Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes has proposed an initiative that would bar
deportation of illegals from California . Interesting dilemma for Obama
there. If immigration is exclusively a federal matter, and Obama has sued
four states for trying to enforce federal immigration laws he won't enforce,
what will the President do to a California law that exempts California from
federal immigration law?
California
is also near fulfilling the environmentalist dream of deindustrialization.
After driving out the old industrial base (auto and airplane assembly, for
example), air and water regulators and tax policies are now driving out the
high-tech, biotech and even Internet-based companies that were supposed to be
California's future. The California cap-and-trade tax on business in the name
of reducing CO2 makes our state the leader in wacky environmentalism and
guarantees a further job exodus from the state. Even green energy companies
can't do business in California . Solyndra went under, taking its taxpayer
loan guarantee with it.
No
job is too small to escape the regulators. The state has even banned weekend
amateur gold miners from the historic gold mining streams in the Sierra
Nevada Mountains . In fact, more and more of California 's public land is
off-limits to recreation by the people who paid for that land. Unless you're
illegal. Then you can clear the land, set up marijuana plantations at will,
bring in fertilizers that legal farmers can no longer use, exploit illegal
farm workers who live in hovels with no running water or sanitation, and
protect your investment with armed illegals carrying guns no California
citizen is allowed to own.
The
rest of us only found out about these plantations when the workers' open
campfire started one of those devastating fires that have killed hundreds of
people and burned out thousands of homes in California over the last decade.
It's
often said that whatever happens in California will soon happen in your
state. You'd better hope that's wrong.

California spending annually $22 billion to support illegals
Going To the Top!
By Susan Tully
I've been at the immigration reform and enforcement
table for about 20 years. I've worked with activists during all those years.
But last week, in Los Angeles, I had a first-time-ever experience at an
activist brain storming session.
Gathered for an update on Stop AB131, the petition
drive to gather signatures to force a ballot initiative as to whether the
California taxpayers should fund college grants to illegal aliens, I asked the
top activist leaders from Southern California how the signature drive was
going.
They started updating me with the positive response
from California residents who signed the petitions, but then admitted about
500,000 more signatures were still needed. When I said there was only a little
more than three weeks to go to meet the January 5th deadline, suddenly their
faces dropped at once, and the room went completely silent.
It was easy to read on each of their faces; the
task was nearly impossible! Without big money to pay signature gatherers or a
tsunami of petitions flooding in, the taxpayers of California will be forced to
give grant money to illegal aliens for college, on top of the $22 billion they
are spending annually in California to support the illegal alien population.
While all of our minds were racing and searching
for suggestions as to how to accomplish this daunting task of gathering
signatures, Lupe Moreno, long time Hispanic leader from Santa Ana, said
"Can we have a prayer?" Everyone agreed to pray.
As the prayer went around the table, people
expressed their sorrow for the lack of leadership in the State of California
and in the nation to protect the interest of American citizens, and asked for
divine guidance in helping them understand the harm their policies are
inflicting on millions of innocent people in the state. In all the years I have
worked on this issue, I had not witnessed the sort of sincere emotion that was
expressed in that room.
(THE FASTEST GROWING POLITICAL PARTY
IN AMERICA IS THE MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY of LA RAZA! AND WE ARE FORCED TO FUND
IT!)
You see, the
politicians in California are happy to give money the state doesn't have to
illegal aliens to attend college, while they cut the budgets and slash programs
for public safety, right and left. The American citizen's interests and safety
are simply collateral damage for seeking and appealing to the illegal alien
lobby.
These activists in California have already learned
what the rest of the nation is about to learn. We the people. . . are the only
ones looking out for the best interest of American citizens. With few
exceptions, we have no national leadership on the issue of stopping the illegal
migration flow into our nation.
American citizenship or the benefits thereof have
become a commodity for politicians to pander and barter away. They will grant
de facto citizenship through sanctuary policies, in-state tuition,
non-compliance with Secure Communities, grants for college, etc., etc., etc.
President Obama and most the Republican presidential hopefuls are peddling
various versions of amnesty proposals if they are elected next year.
What do these politicians want in return? They are
hoping to leverage enough votes in key states to put them over the top in 2012,
no matter what it costs the American people. This is futures betting: The
politicians are gambling the nation's future in hopes of winning the next
election.
So while the
state can't afford to pay its bills or provide decent services to citizens,
these California activists watch their elected leaders lavish still more
benefits for people who don't have a legal right to be in the country. And
while their child might have to pay out-of-state tuition to go to college in
another state, thousands of illegal aliens are going to college at in-state
tuition rates in California that they are subsidizing.
In addition
they know that millions of other illegal alien parents are receiving food
stamps, Medicaid, housing assistance and dozens of other state and local
benefits for their American-born children, while they have to decide which
bills will be paid this month and which will have to wait.
It's not hard to understand why the activist of
California need all the help they can get. Please go to www.stopAB131.com and
lend a hand to our friends and family and the people of California to do what
needs to be done for the good of our children first.

The study, based on 2010 and 2011

“Law enforcement and public safety
have taken a back seat to attempts to satisfy immigrant advocacy groups,” Crane
told the panel of congressmen.
“What we're seeing is our Congress
and national leadership dismantling our laws by not enforcing them. Lawlessness
becomes the norm, just like Third World corruption. Illegal aliens now have
more rights and privileges than Americans. If you are an illegal alien, you can
drive a car without a driver's license or insurance. You may obtain medical
care without paying. You may work without paying taxes. Your children enjoy
free education at the expense of taxpaying Americans.”

Slow path to progress for U.S. immigrants
43% on
welfare after 20 years
Immigrants lag behind
native-born Americans on most measures of economic well-being — even those who
have been in the U.S. the longest, according to a report from the Center for Immigration
Studies, which argues that
full assimilation is a more complex task than overcoming language or cultural
differences.
The study, which
covers all immigrants, legal and illegal, and their U.S.-born children younger
than 18, found that immigrants tend to make economic progress by most measures
the longer they live in the U.S. but lag well behind native-born Americans on factors
such as poverty, health insurance coverage and homeownership.
The study, based on 2010 and 2011
census data, found that 43 percent of immigrants who have been in the U.S. at
least 20 years were using welfare benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as high
as native-born Americans and nearly 50 percent higher than recent immigrants.
The report was
released at a time when both major presidential candidates have backed policies
that would make it easier to immigrate legally and would boost the numbers of
people coming to the U.S.
Steven A. Camarota, the center’s research director and author of the
96-page study, said it shows that questions about the pros and cons of
immigration extend well beyond the sheer numbers and touch on the broader
consequences of assimilating a population defined by tougher socioeconomic
challenges.
“Look, we know a lot
of these folks are going to be poor, we get it. But don’t tell the public it’s
all going great, which is the story line I think a lot of people want to
sell,” Mr. Camarota said. “There is progress over
time. Every measure shows improvement over time, but still, the situation does
not look like we’d like it to look, particularly for the less-educated. They
lag well behind natives even when they’ve been here for two decades, and that
is very disconcerting.”
Federal law requires
that the government deny immigrant visas to potential immigrants who are likely
to be unable to support themselves and thereby become public charges.
On Tuesday, a handful
of Republican senators wrote to the Homeland Security and State departments
asking them to explain why they don’t consider whether potential immigrants
would use many of the nearly 80 federal welfare programs when they evaluate
visa applications.
Neither department
responded to messages Tuesday seeking a response to the senators’ letter.
Expanding
legal immigration is a contentious issue for voters, the vast majority of whom
tell pollsters that they want the levels either retained or decreased.
But most politicians
want legal immigration expanded.
During his time in the U.S. Senate, Barack Obama backed
bills that would have dramatically boosted legal immigration, potentially by
hundreds of thousands a year. As president, he has called for the same thing.
(LA RAZA DEMS FEINSTEIN AND BOXER HAVE THREE (3) TIMES ATTEMPTED

“We need to provide our farms a legal
way to hire workers that they rely on, and a path for those workers to earn
legal status. And our laws should respect families following the rules —
reuniting them more quickly instead of splitting them apart,” Mr. Obama said
in a major speech on the subject in El Paso, Texas, in 2011.
His presumed
Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, in June called for increasing legal
immigration for students who study in high-tech fields and admitting unlimited
family members of those who hold green cards.
“Our immigration
system should help promote strong families as well — not keep them apart. Our
nation benefits when moms and dads and their kids are all living together under
the same roof,” Mr. Romney told the National Association of
Latino Elected and Appointed Officials.
Mr. Camarota’s report took a broad look at the
immigrant population and found that immigrants are contributing to major
changes in American society, including that one-fourth of public school
students now speak languages other than English at home.
It also found that immigrants
as a population lead complex economic lives that aren’t easily put into one
category or another.
Immigrants made up
more than half of all farmworkers, 41 percent of taxi drivers and 48 percent of
maids and housecleaners, but they also represented about one-third of all
computer programmers and 27 percent of doctors.
The statistics varied
greatly by geography. In Massachusetts, native-led households averaged $89,000
in income while immigrant households averaged $66,000.
In Virginia,
immigrant-led households averaged $93,000 in income, far outstripping native
households’ $80,000 average. Likewise, immigrant families averaged a larger tax
burden in Virginia — though they also had higher rates of use of welfare or
Medicaid.
The center found that use of public benefits
varied dramatically based on where immigrants originated.
Mexicans were most
likely to use means-tested benefit programs, with 57 percent, while 6 percent of
those from the United Kingdom did. The rate for native-born Americans is 23
percent.
Mr. Camarota said a key dividing line is
educational attainment. Immigrants who have been in the U.S. 20 years and who
have bachelor’s degrees or higher make slightly more than the average
native-born American. But immigrants with only high school educations make less
no matter how long they have been in the U.S.
“The fact is the
less-educated in particular — they don’t do well over time,” he said. “It’s not
reasonable to expect an immigrant who comes to America with only a high school
education to close the gap with the native-born.”
Scholars debate
whether the current wave of immigrants will assimilate differently from those
in the 1800s and at the start of the 20th century.
George Borjas, a Harvard University
professor, has argued that second-generation Americans — the children of
today’s immigrants — will fall behind in wages by about 10 percent by 2030.
(THE BELOW STATS HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH ASSIMILATION! COME TO MEXIFORNIA WHERE 90% OF ALL SERVICE
SECTOR AND CONSTRUCTION JOBS ARE HELD BY MEXICANS. YOU WON’T HEAR THEM SPEAKING
ENGLISH!)
But in “Assimilation
Tomorrow,” a report released in November, Dowell Myers and John Pitkin said
immigrants of the 1990s eventually will attain high rates of homeownership and
71 percent will become U.S. citizens by 2030.
Those authors said
immigrants were set back by the recent recession but were still on track to
follow the same assimilation path as previous waves of immigrants.
(THE THING IS… MOST SOURCES PUT THE
NUMBER OF ILLEGALS AT 40 MILLION AND BREEDING FAST! THERE ARE 12 MILLION OF
THESE “11 MILLION” ILLEGALS IN SOUTHERN CA ALONE!)
They also said a
program to legalize the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S.
would be critical to helping assimilation.

FIFTEEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LA RAZA “THE RACE”
by Michelle Malkin
Only in America could critics of a group called
"The Race" be labeled racists. Such is the triumph of left-wing
identity chauvinists, whose aggressive activists and supine abettors have
succeeded in redefining all opposition as "hate."
Both Barack Obama and John McCain will speak this
week in San Diego at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza,
the Latino organization whose name is Spanish for, yes, "The Race."
Can you imagine Obama and McCain paying homage to a group of white people who called
themselves that? No matter. The presidential candidates and the media have
legitimized "The Race" as a mainstream ethnic lobbying group and
marginalized its critics as intolerant bigots. The unvarnished truth is that
the group is a radical ethnic nationalist outfit that abuses your tax dollars
and milks PC politics to undermine our sovereignty.
*
Here are 15 things you should know about "The Race":
15. "The Race" supports driver's licenses for illegal aliens.

14."The Race" demands in-state tuition
discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding U.S.
citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.
*
13. "The Race" vehemently opposes
cooperative immigration enforcement efforts between local, state and federal
authorities.
*
12. "The Race" opposes a secure fence on the southern border.

11. "The Race" joined the American-Arab
Anti-Discrimination Committee in a failed lawsuit attempt to prevent the feds
from entering immigration information into a key national crime database -- and
to prevent local police officers from accessing the data.
*
10. "The Race" opposed the state of
Oklahoma's tough immigration-enforcement-first laws, which cut off welfare to
illegal aliens, put teeth in employer sanctions and strengthened local-federal
cooperation and information sharing.
*
9. "The Race" joined other open-borders,
anti-assimilationists and sued to prevent Proposition 227, California's
bilingual education reform ballot initiative, from becoming law.

6. Former "Race" president Raul
Yzaguirre, Hillary Clinton's Hispanic outreach adviser, said this: "U.S.
English is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks." He was
referring to U.S. English, the nation's oldest, largest citizens' action group
dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United
States. "The Race" also pioneered Orwellian open-borders Newspeak and
advised the Mexican government on how to lobby for illegal alien amnesty while
avoiding the terms "illegal" and "amnesty."
*
5. "The Race" gives mainstream cover to a
poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil
Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA). The late GOP
Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized the organization as "a radical
racist group … one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has
permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a
racist nation out of the American West."
*
4. "The Race" is currently leading a
smear campaign against staunch immigration enforcement leaders and has called
for TV and cable news networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off
the airwaves -- in addition to pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut
up their foes. The New York Times reported that current "Race"
president Janet Murguia believes "hate speech" should "not be
tolerated, even if such censorship were a violation of First Amendment
rights."
*
3. "The Race" sponsors militant ethnic
nationalist charter schools subsidized by your public tax dollars (at least $8
million in federal education grants). The schools include Aztlan Academy in
Tucson, Ariz., the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, Ariz., Academia Cesar Chavez
Charter School in St. Paul, Minn., and La Academia Semillas del Pueblo in Los
Angeles, whose principal inveighed: "We don't want to drink from a White
water fountain, we have our own wells and our natural reservoirs and our way of
collecting rain in our aqueducts. We don't need a White water fountain …
ultimately the White way, the American way, the neo liberal, capitalist way of
life will eventually lead to our own destruction."
*
2. "The Race" has perfected the art of
the PC shakedown at taxpayer expense, pushing relentlessly to lower home loan
standards for Hispanic borrowers, reaping millions in federal "mortgage counseling"
grants, seeking special multimillion-dollar earmarks and partnering with banks
that do business with illegal aliens.
*
1. "The Race" thrives on ethnic supremacy
-- and the elite sheeple's unwillingness to call it what it is. As historian
Victor Davis Hanson observes: "[The] organization's very nomenclature 'The
National Council of La Raza' is hate speech to the core. Despite all the
contortions of the group, Raza (as its Latin cognate suggests) reflects the
meaning of 'race' in Spanish, not 'the people'-- and that's precisely why we
don't hear of something like 'The National Council of the People,' which would
not confer the buzz notion of ethnic, racial and tribal chauvinism."
The fringe is the center. The center is the fringe. Viva La Raza?

One tragic thing about this book is that it was written in 2003. Since then the
Mexican occupation has doubled. Welfare to illegals is up to $20 BILLION in
California. Welfare to illegals in sanctuary city Los Angeles is past $600
million per year, while Mexican gangs murder all over the state. Yet the
lifer-politicians continue to fight for open borders, more perks for illegals,
and their illegal votes!

READER’S REVIEW (source: AMAZON)
(COMMENT: ANYWHERE YOU GO IN MEXIFORNIA, YOU HEAR
THE ILLEGALS JABBERING AWAY IN MEXICAN, EVEN IF THEY CAN SPEAK ENGLISH. THE LA
RAZA SUPREMACIST PRESIDENT OF MEXICO HAS ADMONISHED HIS EXPORTED PEOPLE TO
SPEAK ONLY SPANISH TO ESTABLISH THEIR LA RAZA SUPREMACY)
If you don't understand something or disagree with
a concept then the best way
to conceal your ignorance or discredit the idea is
to call it
"racist". Dr. Hanson did not have to go very far out on a limb to
make the
point that non assimilation of Chicanos to American culture is
divisive
and destructive - and that it is the new immigrant that is failing to
adapt. Great
book, on point and very timely.
*Starred Review*
(MEXICANS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT CULTURE IN THE
HEMISPHERE. WE’RE NOT ONLY DEALING WITH ILLEGAL AND UNINSURED DRIVING, ILLEGAL
CONTRACTING, IDENTITY THEFT, ILLEGAL VOTING, BUT MURDER ON THE LARGEST SCALE IN
AMERICAN HISTORY! ACCORDING TO CA ATTORNEY GENERAL KAMALA HARRIS, NEARLY HALF
OF THE MURDERS IN CA ARE BY MEXICAN GANGS!)
Classics professor Hanson is also, like generations
of his family before him, a
fruit farmer in California's central valley. He has employed immigrants, seen
them
flood his community during the last 30 years of mass flight from Mexico,
and
endured the crime associated with illegal immigrants. Hanson is
immensely
sympathetic to poor Mexicans, however, and the most
powerful chapter here
outlines the harried life of the illegal alien. (THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD IS NO LONGER
BILL GATES, IT IS MEX CARLOS SLIM! MEXICO HAS MORE BILLIONAIRES THAN SAUDI
ARABIA. THIS IS ENABLED BY THE EXPORTATION OF 40 MILLION MEXICANS TO OUR COUNTRY TO LOOT. MEXICO EVEN
PRINTS MAPS TO OUR BORDERS AND ADVISES LA RAZA HOW TO AVOID BORDER PATROL.
MEXICAN CONSULATES IN OUR BORDERS, ABOUT 50 IN TOTAL, PUSH FOR EXPANDED
DREAM ACTS, GETTING ILLEGALS REGISTERED
TO VOTE, AND MORE FREE HEALTHCARE. THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT HAS DECLARED THEY DO
NOT WANT THEIR CRIMINALS BACK! CA HAS THE LARGEST AND MOST EXPENSIVE PRISON
SYSTEM IN THE COUNTRY. HALF THE INMATES ARE MEXICANS!)
But he hates to see the ordered culture in which he grew up drowned by an
alien inundation whose undeserving beneficiaries are Mexico's kleptocratic
rulers, for whom an open border is asafety valve expelling the potential for
democratic change.
The four
solutions to the mess that Hanson enumerates include continuing de facto open
borders but insisting on rapid acculturation; patrolling the border effectively
and
reducing legal immigration; imposing "sweeping
restrictions on
immigration" and
ending Mexican chauvinism in the U.S.; and allowing
present policies
to make California increasingly mirror an unreformed Mexico. (YOU CANT GO FROM ONE END OF MEXIFORNIA TO
THE OTHER AND NOT SEE ONLY HISPANICS IN OUR JOBS, AND HEAR THEM SPEAKING
SPANISH. IN 2006, WE WERE ALL WITNESS TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MEXICAN ON
THE MARCH DEMANDING THEIR “RIGHTS” AND WAVING MEXICAN FLAGS.)
Hanson thinks that the U.S. "still need not do
everything right" to
prevent social collapse in the Southwest and that
the totalitarian uniformity
of valueless mass culture may soften that collapse.
He also sees very clearly
what has brought this crisis on: the American
globalist ideology's lust for
cheap labor and emphasis on "raw
inclusiveness" instead of "standards and taste." (BARACK OBAMA
HAS AN AGENDA OF NOT ONLY AMNESTY TO BUY THE LA RAZA VOTES, BUT ALSO OPEN
BORDERS BECAUSE HORDES OF ILLEGALS CLIMBING OUR BORDER KEEPS WAGES DEPRESSED
FROM $300 TO $400 BILLION PER YEAR)

REVIEW 1
This review is from: Mexifornia: A State of
Becoming (Hardcover)
This book shows how Mexico sends their poor to
America to work, so they don't
have to improve their own country, and how we use
these people for cheap labor
so that we can sell things for less. It's a deal
made between the two
countries. (THE “DEAL” IS PROBABLY FAR GREATER THAN
NOTED HERE. WHEN GEORGE W. BUSH FINALLY SHOWED HIS ASS AT KATRINA, HE HAD
POCKETFUL OF NO BID DEALS WORKED OUT FOR HALLIBURTON-CHENEY! BUSH RESCINDED
MINIMUM WAGE FOR THOSE HIRED BY HALLIBURTON TO CLEAN UP KATRINA. FORTUNATELY,
CONGRESS RESCINDED THE PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE. DESPITE THIS, NEW ORLEANS AND
CITES DAMAGED BY THE HURRICANE, WERE DELUGED BY LA RAZA! BIRTH RATES FOR
HISPANICS SOARED (AND THEREFORE THE 18 YEARS OF ANCHOR BABY WELFARE THAT
FOLLOWS ANCHOR BABY BIRTHING, AND ALSO MEX GANG CRIMES! ONE JOURNALIST HAS
REPORTED THAT BUSH AND FORMER NARCOmex PRESIDENT FOX HAMMERED OUT A DEAL. FOX
WOULD TURN OVER THE MANAGEMENT OF MEXICO’S CORRUPT BIG OIL TO BUSH’S CORRUPT
BUSH-SAUDIS BIG OIL, AND BUSH IN TURN, WOULD MAKE SURE OUR BORDERS WERE KEPT
WIDE OPEN FOR MEXICO’S CONTINUED EXPORTATION OF THEIR POOR, PREGNANT AND CRIMINAL
CLASSES!)
The
trouble is, it's not what American citizens want. The
"servants of the people", the
representatives, are not listening to
us, so it's always exciting to read something that
really tells it like it is.
This book is written from the viewpoint of someone
who actually lives with these
Mexican immigrants. The rich people who
want to use them in their businesses
for cheap labor don't live with them; the
liberal elites who push for them to
get amnesty don't live with them. (YOU WONT’ FIND A SINGLE BILLIONAIRE THAT DOES
NOT WANT OPEN BORDERS, AMNESTY, DREAM ACTS PAID FOR BY THE AMERICAN MIDDLE
CLASS TO SUBSIDIZE MISERABLE WAGES, AND NO E-VERIFY. NOT BILL GATES, WHO WANTS
OPEN BORDERS AMNESTY, NOR BILLIONAIRE MAYOR BLOOMBERG OF NEW YORK CITY, WHERE
MEX BILLIONAIRE CARLOS SLIM LIVES!) This guy lives among them, and knows the
problems first hand, and as I suspected, there are many, and they're not
pretty.
He writes very bluntly about the problems, but not
without sympathy for the
Mexican immigrants whose own country won't take
care of them. With all the new
books out and the discussions going on about legal
and illegal immigration, and
what the American people want, I'm hoping that
these problems will be solved.
This book is one of the best on the subject,
because it is written from a
viewpoint of personal experience.
*
REVIEW 2
Victor Hanson combines scholarship (Professor at
Cal State) with personal
experience (life long resident and farmer in
central CA. who has
Mexican-American family and friends) to present a
thoughtful look at the
illegal Mexican immigration crisis. Hanson
argues that the reason for this
crisis is that both ends of the political
spectrum have vested interests in
continuing the unabated entry of illegal
Mexicans. Republicans wish to placate
business interests with cheap labor and
Democrats hope for a future electoral
base. Hanson further explains that
this wave is not like the earlier waves of
Polish, Jewish, or Italian immigration which was of
a fixed duration and where
the connection of the new immigrant to the Homeland
was more thoroughly
severed.
This book is well written and to the point (approx.
140 pages). I have also
seen Victor Hanson on several political talk shows.
He is well spoken and mild
mannered which is a welcome relief from the
cacophonous diatribe we too often
get on cable news channels.
*
REVIEW 3
As one who shares the author's ethnic,cultural and
geographical heritage, I
thought Hanson did a marvelous job of assessing
California's major social
issue, and one of America's primary problems. Like
Hanson, I was born and
reared in Fresno County, albeit some 25 miles from
his native Selma. I can
attest to the accuracy of his description of Selma
and the Central Valley in
the 1950's.
As a child, my associates included Hispanics; as a
teenager working in the fig
and peach orchards, my fellow workers were
Hispanic. During my professional
career, I have hired and promoted many Hispanics.
Hanson's Scandinavian ancestors (from
Sweden) and mine (from Denmark) came to
America legally and without speaking
English, but they succeeded--without
bilingual classes, welfare, government
subsidies, or that phenomenon known as
"affirmative action", which is
being rapidly unmasked as nothing,
more or less, than "reverse
discrimination". Hanson deftly exposes
the race industry as an amalgam of organizations
and individuals who are quick
to attack the Anglo for any slight, either real or
imagined, but who, in the
long run, seem not to do much for those whom they
purport to serve.
As a criminologist, I am well aware of the
violence committed by Hispanic
Gangs, and the fact that those gangsters
who do not wind up in the morgue soon
become expensive inmates in our overcrowded
prison system, costing taxpayers
some $25k per year each. I am
equally aware of the many outstanding Hispanic
officers, prosecutors, and judges with whom I've
worked.
Hanson has eloquently described the failure
of our educational programs to work
toward an assimilated America, as well as
the failure of the"separatists" in the race industry. (THIS “SEPARATIST MOVEMENT IS REFERRED TO AS
M.E.Ch.A., WHICH IS PARTY OF LA RAZA “THE RACE”. THE TERRITORY THE CLAIM IS THE
AMERICAN SOUTHWEST, WHICH THEY REFER TO AS “AZTLAN”. THE RACIST LA RAZA MAYOR
OF LOS ANGELES, ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA WAS A MEMBER OF M.E.Ch.A. --- SEE THE
TRANSCRIPT FROM A LA RAZA FASCISM MEETING BELOW THAT REFERENCES THIS SEPARATIST
MOVEMENT).
The one failure which, to my surprise, he did not
identify is that of our elected
officials who establish public policy. When Hanson
and I were youngsters/young
men in the Central Valley, the politicians seemed
to act in the best interests
of their constituencies. Today,by and
large, our politicians have little
integrity, but rather pander incessantly to
special interests which, in turn,
provide them with campaign funds,
endorsements,and precinct workers.It is
common knowledge that, in Sacramento,
legislative votes are "for
sale" almost daily. (THE CA LEGISLATURE IS NOW INFESTED WITH LA
RAZA SUPREMACIST PUSHING FOR EXPANDED DREAM ACTS, NO E-VERIFY, NO IMPOUNDING OF ILLEGALS’ CARS IF CAUGHT
DRIVING WITHOUT LICENSE OR INSURANCE. AS FAR AS LACK OF INTEGRITY, JERRY BROWN
JUST SIGNED A LAW MAKING IT ILLEGAL FOR EMPLOYERS TO USE E-VERIFY, AND FORMER
GOV ARNOLD SCHARZENEGGER, UPON LEAVING OFFICE, GRANTED A PARDON TO FORMER LA
RAZA ASSEMBLYMAN NUNEZ SON, A MEXICAN GANG MEMBER WHO COMMITTED MURDER!) Until
we can restore some integrity among our public
officials, we will not move toward a better
California--better for Hispanics,
Anglos, African Americans, Asians, and all others!
Except for his failure to discuss the lack of
integrity among many of our
elected officials, Hanson has done an admirable
job. Mexifornia should be on
the "must read" list of all who are
concerned about the future of
Californians, notwithstanding the color of their
skins!
*
WHILE CA IS NOT HALF MEXICAN, NEVADA NOW ONE-THIRD,
COLORADO IS BELIEVED TO BE 20% ILLEGAL AND BREEDING FAST. MEXICO ANCHORS THEIR
OCCUPATION BY ANCHOR BABY BREEDERS.
