San Francisco is a disaster about which Nancy Pelosi she cares nothing. It is a city ravaged by drug abuse, homelessness, rampant crime and all the other scourges of leftism. She lives extravagantly in her gated mansion. She lives a life of wealth and privilege in city suffering a civilizational collapse created and orchestrated by her own party. She revels in it. She has become a near-billionairess by way of politics of the most corrupt variety. She is indeed a cancer on the body politic. PATRICIA McCARTHY

Tech industry elites have endorsed Democrat presidential
candidate Joe Biden, citing their opposition to President Trump’s efforts to
prioritize Americans for high-paying tech jobs in the United States. JOHN

“Today’s
ruling is great news for Americans, and for the ability of the U.S. to remain
the top destination for talented individuals,” said a statement from FWD.us, an
advocacy group created by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and
other West Coast investors.
Sen Kamala

NAFTA JOE HAS PART OF THE OBAMA-BIDEN-HOLDER TEAM THAT
SABOTAGED AMERICA’S BORDERS TO FLOOD OUR JOBS WITH ‘CHEAP’ LABOR ILLEGALS.
DURING THE SO-CALLED OBAMA ‘RECOVERY’ TWO-THIRDS OF ALL
JOBS WENT TO FOREIGNERS AND ILLEGALS. BIDEN HAS DECLARED THAT THESE NUMBERS ARE
NOT HIGH ENOUGH. NO WALL STREET COMPANY SHOULD HAVE TO HIRE AMERICAN!
REVEALED: Joe Biden's chief of staff Ron Klain worked on
behalf of Silicon Valley executives and their interests, which include
providing tech corporations with an endless supply of H-1B foreign visa workers
and more free trade. https://t.co/UCYg4U7lXK
Analysis conducted in 2018 discovered that 71 percent of tech
workers in Silicon Valley, California, are foreign-born, while the tech
industry in the San Francisco, Oakland, and Hayward area is made up of 50
percent foreign-born tech workers. Up to 99 percent of H-1B visa workers imported by the top eight outsourcing
firms are from India. JOHN BINDER
Likewise, the Biden-Harris plan for national immigration policy
— which seeks to drive up legal and illegal immigration levels to their highest
levels in decades — offers a flooded labor market with low wages for U.S.
workers and increased bargaining power for big business that has long been
supported by Wall Street. JOHN BINDER
Blue State, Red Tape
California is shedding residents and businesses.December 4, 2020A Sacramento Bee headline from late October, “How liberal politics, COVID-19 and a high cost of living are fueling a new California exodus,” could have been written, without the virus reference, a year ago. Or ten years ago. The flight from California kicked off long before this year’s pandemic.
Eight years ago, an Investor’s Business Daily editorial laid out the reasons Californians were moving “To Texas (And Arizona And Nevada),” all of them fueled by progressive public policy. That same year, a Manhattan Institute report detailed “the great ongoing California exodus . . . reversing the storied passages of the Dust Bowl era.” The authors attributed the mass departure to policy decisions making the state a less desirable place to live. Two years earlier, in 2010, New Geography asked: “If California Is Doing So Great, Why Are So Many Leaving?” and noted that the state’s “domestic migration has been negative every year since at least 1990.”
Nor is the California exodus limited to desperate residents. Joe Vranich, a relocation specialist once headquartered in Irvine, California, but now settled in Pennsylvania, has been tracking business departures since 2008. Vranich says that he became “irritated by repeated comments from California politicians, including governor Jerry Brown, that business departures . . . were not a big deal.” As he analyzed the companies, jobs, and capital fleeing the state, he realized the drain was significant. The state’s toxic business environment, Vranich estimates, caused as many as 13,000 “disinvestment events” from 2008 to 2016.
Data-analytics software company Palantir is among the firms to announce more recently that it is leaving California. CNBC characterized its decision to relocate from Palo Alto to Denver as “one of the first signals that a long-anticipated exodus from Silicon Valley is on the horizon.” Hewlett-Packard, a garage-band Silicon Valley original, recently announced that it would move its global headquarters to Texas, seeking “opportunities for cost savings,” while accommodating “team members’ preferences about the future of work.”
California remains a large state with a diverse economy. Yet even if Central Valley agriculture, the entertainment industry, financial-service and insurance companies, and manufacturing continue to thrive, a hollowed-out Silicon Valley would inflict serious injury on the state. Carson Bruno, former dean of Pepperdine University and a Hoover Institution fellow, said in 2015 that “since the Great Recession, the Silicon Valley-Bay Area has become absolutely essential to California’s economic and fiscal health.” This is no less true today. In the pandemic era, Silicon Valley continues “to fare better than other large regions across California and the nation,” MarketWatch reports.
All this suggests the question: Why would tech companies want to leave California in the first place? Their political preferences often line up with California’s blue-state agenda. The weather in Silicon Valley is near perfect. The region is a magnet for talent. There’s a strong entrepreneurial vibe and embedded social and economic networks.
The short answer: too much government meddling in private business affairs, with the threat of more to come. Before Palantir announced its move to Denver, CEO Alex Karp publicly criticized the “increasing intolerance and monoculture of Silicon Valley.” He implied that the “the engineering elite” of Silicon Valley was convinced that it knew best “how society should be organized.” These same flaws characterize California’s single-party rule, which has contributed to a mass exodus by residents and businesses.
The blue-state mindset has produced a briar patch of laws, regulations, and ordinances. California consistently ranks near the bottom in surveys ranking state business climates. Chief Executive magazine has ranked the Golden State as the worst place to do business for 14 straight years. A survey of 200 corporate executives by the Pacific Research Institute in 2018 found California unattractive for relocation or expansion due to “all the regulations and red tape” and “so many fees associated with having a business in California for which we didn’t get anything in return.” Costly workers’ compensation laws, “insurance liability,” punitive taxes, labor laws that favor unions, and the steep cost of living also chill the business climate.
Policymakers might one day comprehend the damage they are inflicting on the state, but it might take another decade of headlines like that one from the Bee to get their attention.

FAIR reported employers’ preference for hiring foreign-born who demand lower wages, over American citizens. “This report highlights the adverse effects of unchecked mass immigration, combined with an immigration selection process that does not choose people based on merit, job skills and education. Americans are being affected by unenforced immigration policies, which is why it is at the top of the list of voter concerns heading into the 2020 elections.”

"They will destroy America from within. The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never be exposed to the cost of the invasion. They have nothing but contempt for us who must endure the consequences of our communities being intruded upon by gangs, drug dealers and human traffickers. These people have no intention of becoming Americans; like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us." PATRICIA McCARTHY

Adios,
Sanctuary La Raza Welfare State of California
A fifth-generation Californian
laments his state’s ongoing economic collapse.
By Steve Baldwin
American Spectator
What’s clear is that the producers are leaving
the state and the takers are coming in. Many of the takers are illegal aliens,
now estimated to number over 2.6 million (BLOG: THE NUMBER IS CLOSER TO 15
MILLION ILLEAGLS). The Federation for American
Immigration Reform estimates that California spends $22 billion (DATED: NOW
ABOUT $35 BILLION YEARLY AND THAT IS ON THE STATE LEVEL ONLY. COUNTIES PAY OUT
MORE) on government services for illegal aliens, including welfare, education,
Medicaid, and criminal justice system costs.
Liberals
claim they more than make that up with taxes paid, but that’s simply not true.
It’s not even close. FAIR estimates illegal aliens in California contribute
only $1.21 billion in tax revenue, which means they cost California $20.6
billion, or at least $1,800 per household.
Nonetheless, open border advocates, such as Facebook Chairman Mark Zuckerberg,
claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to California with little evidence to
support such an assertion. As the Center for Immigration Studies has
documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few
skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting
them access to dozens of welfare programs benefit California’s economy? If
illegal aliens were contributing to the economy in any meaningful way,
California, with its 2.6 million illegal aliens, would be booming.
Furthermore, the complexion of illegal aliens
has changed with far more on welfare and committing crimes than those who
entered the country in the 1980s. Heather Mac Donald of
the Manhattan Institute has testified before a Congressional committee that in
2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants for murder in Los Angeles were for
illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los Angeles County jail inmates were
illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s largest street gang, the
18th Street gang, were illegal aliens. Granted, those
statistics are old, but if you talk to any California law enforcement officer,
they will tell you it’s much worse today. The problem is that the Brown
administration will not release any statewide data on illegal alien crimes.
That would be insensitive. And now that California has declared itself a
“sanctuary state,” there is little doubt this sends a message south of the
border that will further escalate illegal immigration into the state.
"If the racist "Sensenbrenner Legislation" passes the US
Senate, there is no doubt that a massive civil disobedience movement will
emerge. Eventually labor union power can merge with the immigrant civil rights
and "Immigrant Sanctuary" movements to enable us to either
form a new political party or to do heavy duty reforming of the existing
Democratic Party. The next and final steps would follow and that is to elect
our own governors of all the states within Aztlan."
Indeed, California goes out of its way to
attract illegal aliens. The state has even created government programs that
cater exclusively to illegal aliens. For example, the State Department of Motor
Vehicles has offices that only process driver licenses for illegal aliens. With
over a million illegal aliens now driving in California, the state felt
compelled to help them avoid the long lines the rest of us must endure at the
DMV. And just recently, the state-funded University
of California system announced it will spend $27 million on financial aid for
illegal aliens. They’ve even taken out radio spots on stations
all along the border, just to make sure other potential illegal border crossers
hear about this program. I can’t afford college
education for all my four sons, but my taxes will pay for illegals to get a
college education.
