Migrant enclaves already are at the top of the U.S. lists for bad places to live - 10 of the 50 worst places in America to live according to this list are in California, and all of them are famous for their illegal populations. MONICA SHOWALTER
California—not Mississippi, New Mexico, or West Virginia—has the highest poverty rate in the United States. According to the Census Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty Measure—which accounts for the cost of housing, food, utilities, and clothing, and which includes noncash government assistance as a form of income—nearly one out of four Californians is poor. Kerry Jackson
California’s de facto status as a one-party state lies at the heart of its poverty problem. With a permanent majority in the state senate and the assembly, a prolonged dominance in the executive branch, and a weak opposition, California Democrats have long been free to indulge blue-state ideology while paying little or no political price. The state’s poverty problem is unlikely to improve while policymakers remain unwilling to unleash the engines of economic prosperity that drove California to its golden years. Kerry Jackson
As Breitbart News reported, if chain migration is not ended — as President Donald Trump has demanded — the U.S. electorate will forever be changed, with between seven to eight million new foreign-born individuals being eligible to vote because of chain migration, and overall, an additional 15 million new foreign-born voters.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskillhas identified California Senator Kamala Harris as the party leader on issues of immigration and race. Harris wants a moratorium on construction of new immigration-detention facilities in favor of the old “catch and release” policy for illegal aliens, and has urged a shutdown of the government rather than compromise on mass amnesty.
California’s Future: Population

Voting integrity group
finds millions of inactive registrations
One of the standard jokes about Chicago
politics is that a lot of people who voted Republican during their lives start
voting Democrat after their deaths. Contrary to Democrats’ obsession with voter
suppression, the truth is that voter
fraud is real and it is, or should be, a
serious concern. Thanks to Judicial Watch, we’re learning that currently there
are at least 2.5 million inactive registrations up
for grabs around America:
Judicial
Watch announced today it is continuing its efforts to force states and counties
across the nation to comply with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA),
by sending notice-of-violation
letters to 19 large counties in five states that it intends to sue
unless the jurisdictions take steps to comply with the law and remove
ineligible voter registrations within 90 days. Section 8 of the National Voter
Registration Act requires jurisdictions to take reasonable efforts to remove
ineligible registrations from its rolls.
Despite
successful litigation by Judicial Watch to bring counties and states into
compliance with the National Voter Registration Act, voter registration lists
across the country remain significantly out of date. According to Judicial
Watch’s analysis of data released by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission
(EAC) this year, there are 378 counties nationwide that have more voter
registrations than citizens living there and old enough to vote, i.e.,
counties where registration rates exceed 100%. These 378 counties combined had
about 2.5 million registrations over the 100%-registered mark, which is a drop
of about one million from Judicial Watch’s previous
analysis of voter registration data. Although San Diego County
removed 500,000 inactive names from voter rolls following Judicial Watch’s
settlement with Los Angeles County, San Diego still has a registration rate of
117% and has one of the highest registration rates in the country.
These inactive voters are not just extra
paper cluttering up files in various county offices. Instead, explained Tom
Fitton, Judicial Watch’s president, they expose American elections to the
risks of significant corruption:
“Dirty voting
rolls can mean dirty elections and Judicial Watch will insist, in court if
necessary, that states follow federal law to clean up their voting rolls,” said
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Previous Judicial Watch lawsuits have
already led to major cleanups in California, Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio – but
more needs to be done. It is common sense that voters who die or move away be
removed from the voting rolls.”
Fitton’s concerns take on special
resonance when one considers that California counties are among the worst
culprits. This is especially true in Central and Southern California, both
regions with high populations of illegal immigrants and legal green
cardholders. After all, as Hillary and her supporters never stop reminding us,
she may have lost the Electoral College, but she won the popular vote. And
while voter
fraud is bipartisan, it’s still interesting to
note that, per a post-election analysis, Hillary’s meaningless popular vote
victory came from . . . California:
As we noted
in this space earlier, while Clinton's overall margin looks large and
impressive, it is due to Clinton's huge margin of victory in one state —
California — where she got a whopping 4.3 million more votes than Trump.
California is
the only state, in fact, where Clinton's margin of victory was bigger than
President Obama's in 2012 — 61.5% vs. Obama's 60%.
[snip]
If you take
California out of the popular vote equation, then Trump wins the rest of the
country by 1.4 million votes. And if California voted like every other
Democratic state — where Clinton averaged 53.5% wins — Clinton and Trump end up
in a virtual popular vote tie.
Because California is a one-party state,
it’s possible that all of Hillary’s votes were legitimate. And it’s also
possible that, with a lot of deadwood in the country registrars’ offices, they
were not. Ultimately, everyone benefits when county registrars follow the law
and maintain accurate, up-to-date records.
“Furthermore, the much-quoted
estimate of 11 million undocumented aliens in the U.S. may be woefully short of
the truth. A new study by Yale University suggests the true number of illegals
is probably in the 20-to-30 million range, more than enough to kill the
two-party system at one stroke, if they eventually receive the citizenship
amnesty promised by Democrats.” JAMES DELMONT…. AMNESTY WILL ENABLE
40 MILLION ILLEGALS TO BRING UP THE REST OF THEIR FAMILIES. NOW DO THE MATH ON
THE LOOMING JOBS, HOUSING AND SOCIAL SECURITY CRISIS.
"The newly elected president, Andrés López-Obrador,
was gleeful during the election when he told his compadres they should all move to America, illegally. His encouragement
along with his pro-poverty policies will set the stage for another tsunami of
illegal immigration." COLIN FLAHERTY
California’s de facto
status as a one-party state lies at the heart of its poverty problem. With a permanent majority in the
state senate and the assembly, a prolonged dominance in the executive branch,
and a weak opposition, California Democrats have long been free to indulge
blue-state ideology while paying little or no political price. The state’s
poverty problem is unlikely to improve while policymakers remain unwilling to
unleash the engines of economic prosperity that drove California to its golden

Is the government of Mexico behind this?
You have seen quotes from a Mexican President and a Mexican Consul General in
support of it. They have everything to gain and little to lose by pushing it.
The Mexican government is also pushing illegal immigration, which destabilizes
our economy. TOM BARRETT

Is Mass Immigration Killing Two-Party Democracy in the U.S.?
It used to be that legal immigrants
would divide their votes once they became citizens. But that was then.
Few seem willing to admit
it, but mass immigration appears to be killing democracy in the United States.
Two-party democracy withstood the unprecedented mass immigration of the
1870-to-1914 period because the European immigrants tended, for one reason or
another, to vote for both parties. That is not true today. In the 19th century,
newcomers voted along religious lines to a remarkable degree: Irish Catholics
80 percent Democrat and all Catholics 70 percent Democrat. But after the Civil
War, Germans and Scandinavians, heavily Lutheran, voted Republican, as English
Canadian and British immigrants did. In the famous turning-point presidential
election of 1896, urban working-class immigrants tended to vote Republican,
organized by the active and powerful political machines in big cities like New
York, Philadelphia, and Chicago. Very few in the mass migration of that day
moved to the American South, which remained solidly Democrat. The two-party
system survived throughout most of the country as both parties had urban
political machines that provided social services to immigrants.
The present massive wave of
immigration that began in the 1970s, largely as a result of the extended family
clause in the 1965 Kennedy immigration reform bill, has had remarkably
different results. The new immigrants are voting overwhelmingly Democrat:
Hispanics 2 to 1, Asians about 70 percent (all election figures from the Pew Research Center). The children of
Asian immigrants voted 82 percent for Barack Obama in 2008. In addition, black
Americans who used to vote Republican now vote 90 percent or more Democrat, as
do black immigrants.
California not long ago was
a state Republicans could win. Two presidents, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan,
came from California and major offices such as governor were regularly won by
Republicans. Today California is a permanently blue state, with its wealth of
electoral votes. Its U.S. senators, governor, and most of its members of
Congress are Democrats. Democrats have a supermajority in both houses of the
Legislature and have changed the constitution so that party primaries have been
banned in favor of “open” primaries in which Republicans are likely not to
finish higher than third, thus not making the November ballot. In the last two
U.S. Senate races, 2016 and 2018, voters were offered Democrat No. 1 and Democrat
No. 2 as choices. Unsurprisingly, Democrats won both elections, and one of the
winners, Kamala Harris, is
now running for president.
The demographic tidal wave
of mostly Third World immigrants who vote heavily Democrat is now running
legally at a million a year, an all-time record, and is turning red states
purple and then blue. Arizona is going, Colorado and Georgia
are going, Virginia is gone, North Carolina is tipping, and Florida is a dead
heat but the immigration trends (south-of-the-border Latinos and Puerto Ricans)
are against the GOP. Even Texas is drifting leftward as Latinos bid to become a
solid majority there. There is the myth, of course — offered by members of the
Bush family — that Hispanics will see the light and begin voting like Indiana
Republicans. In fact, Hispanics have voted Democrat since 1960, and they
went for Obama in 2008 by 67-31 percent and for Hillary Clinton in 2016 by
66-28 percent. So much for the Bush theory. Asians voted 77 percent for Obama
in 2012 and 79 percent for Clinton in 2016. So much for the two-party system.
Furthermore, the much-quoted
estimate of 11 million undocumented aliens in the U.S. may be woefully short of
the truth. A new study by Yale University suggests the true number of illegals
is probably in the 20-to-30 million range, more than enough to kill the
two-party system at one stroke, if they eventually receive the citizenship
amnesty promised by Democrats.
The two-party system in the
U.S. has been healthy since 1796, when Thomas Jefferson took on John Adams in
the presidential contest. They met again in 1800 in a more famous showdown, by
which time the earliest political parties had formed and taken on ideological
hues that still exist today. The ideal situation for a healthy democracy and a
workable two-party system is a stable population. If the population is stable
(and growing slowly), each party has an opportunity to persuade the public of
its merits. That opportunity is disappearing quickly because the population is
not stable. We are not far from the time when the U.S. will have a Latino
majority and will, regrettably, be a one-party state. Apparently, that is what
Democrats want.

But many

of wealth from person to person, for example, by competing up rents in their
neighborhood or by competing down wages in their workplace. The crudest

Overall, the

wealth from young people towards older people by flooding the

IMMIGRATION AS ECONOMIC WAR ON THE AMERICAN
MIDDLE-CLASS.
However, the dominant force in American politics for the last
two decades has been economic warfare against American citizens.

immigrant groups to economically inhibit Americans who oppose replacement
migration.

"This is country
belongs to Mexico" is said by the Mexican Militant. This is a common
teaching that the U.S. is really AZTLAN, belonging to Mexicans, which is taught
to Mexican kids in Arizona and California through a LA Raza educational program
funded by American Tax Payers via President Obama, when he gave LA RAZA
$800,000.00 in March of 2009!
The “mother of all caravans” is forming in Central America, and our
border-enforcement system is at “the breaking point” — all because Democrats in Congress
rejects any effort to plug the legal loopholes that drive the accelerating flood at the border.
In effect, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are doing just what Cesar Chavez
complained about 40 years ago: placating employers by allowing the unhindered
importation of cheap labor to undermine the efforts of American workers to
negotiate higher wages. MARK KRIKORIAN
THE
AMNESTY HOAX
But the business community will have little
reason to defend Trump, partly because they have gotten their double-shot of
tax cuts and cheap labor. In fact, the legislation does not sunset the amnesty,
meaning it can be quietly expanded with a few legal tweaks that can be attached
to any of the myriad obscure bills annually passed by Congress.
Yes, it is by invitation of the Democrat and
Republican parties on behalf of their rich paymasters!
"Critics argue that
giving amnesty to 12 to 30 million illegal aliens in the U.S. would have an
immediate negative impact on America’s working and middle class — specifically
black Americans and the white working class — who would be in direct
competition for blue-collar jobs with the largely low-skilled illegal alien
population." JOHN BINDER
The
U.S.-born baby is, of course, a U.S. citizen, whose illegal alien parents are
eligible to receive, on the baby’s behalf, food stamps, nutrition from the
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, and numerous tax benefits,
including the EITC.
Most
importantly, the newborn is deportation insurance for its parents. Illegal
aliens facing deportation can argue that to deport one or more parents would
create an “extreme hardship” for the new baby. If an immigration officer
agrees, we’ve added a new adult to the nation’s population. At age 21 the
former birthright citizen baby can formally apply for green cards for parents
and siblings, and they, in turn, can start their own immigration chains.

“At some point we will have to accept the fact that the border
between Mexico and the United States is nothing more than an invention. It was
demarcated in 1848, following a war that cost Mexico about half its territory

Mexican
Invasion
By
Tom Barrett (04/19/2005)
At the current rate of invasion (mostly
through Mexico, but also through Canada) the United States will be completely
over run with illegal aliens by the year 2025.
I’m not talking about legal immigrants who follow US law to become citizens. In
less than 20 years, if we do not stop the invasion, ILLEGAL aliens and their
offspring will be the dominant population in the United States. According to US
Border Control (see LINK below). “They will have made such inroads into the
political and social systems that they will have more influence than our
Constitution over how the U.S. is governed. The ugly consequence of an ignored
U.S. Constitution is already taking place.” The millions upon millions of
illegal aliens streaming into the US are the foundation for what could be another
attempt at secession by several US states. Many of them will use
ill-conceived programs that reward illegal immigration to become US citizens. Other
illegals will simply go to the polls and vote without taking the trouble to
apply for citizenship. Together, these groups could form a voting block
that could tear our nation apart. Those of you who read the email version
of this column should go to www.ConservativeTruth.org to see the map posted there. It shows the
borders of a new nation proposed by influential Mexican nationals and Hispanic
US Citizens. (See LINK below: Professor Predicts 'Hispanic Homeland'.) It
includes six northern states of Mexican, as well as Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona, California, and southern Colorado. The idea of a Hispanic Homeland
could be ignored as the pipedream of crackpots if a substantial majority of
Mexican citizens did not support it. A Zogby poll of Mexicans done in June 2002
revealed that a substantial majority of Mexican citizens believe that
southwestern America properly belongs to Mexico. They said that Mexicans do not
need the permission of the U.S. to enter this territory. 58 percent of Mexican
citizens agreed with this statement: "The territory of the United States'
southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico." Only 28 percent disagreed with
the statement. Listen to what some Mexican government officials and US leaders
(including politicians and Professors at taxpayer-funded Universities) have to
say on this subject. Jose Angel Gutierrez, professor, University of Texas,
Arlington and founder of La Raza Unida political party screams at rallies:
"We have an aging white America. They are dying. They are ******** in
their pants with fear! I love it! We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what
I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill
him!" (See LINK below.) Richard Alatorre, Los Angeles City Council
"They’re afraid we’re going to take over the governmental institutions and
other institutions. They’re right. We will take them over. Mario Obledo,
California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Jerry Brown,
who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Bill Clinton, says,
“California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn’t like it should
leave." Proposition 187 was the California initiative supported by a
majority of Californians that denied taxpayer funds for services to
non-citizens. Speaking at a Latino gathering in response to Proposition 187’s
passage in 1995, Art Torres, the Chairman of the California Democratic Party,
said: "Power is not given to you. You have to take it. Remember, 187 is
the last gasp of white America in California." The national newspaper of
Mexico, Excelsior: "The American Southwest seems to be slowly returning
to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot." Gloria
Molina, Los Angeles County Supervisor: "We are politicizing every single
one of these new citizens that are becoming citizens of this country...I gotta
tell you that a lot of people are saying, "I’m going to go out there and
vote because I want to pay them back." Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul
General: “We are practicing ‘La Reconquista’ in California." "Reconquista"
means the reconquest of the US southwest by Mexico. (See LINK below.). These
people are serious! They think they are going to take US territory. The Mexican
President declared it here in our country, and Bill Clinton signed a
Presidential Executive Order that paves the way for at least part of Mexico’s
dream. Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo said in Chicago on July 23, 1997,
"I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the
territory enclosed by its borders and that Mexican migrants are an important – a
very important – part of this. For this reason, my government proposed a
constitutional amendment to allow any Mexican with the right and the desire to
acquire another nationality to do so without being forced to first give up his
or her Mexican nationality." Translation: It is next to impossible to
receive Mexican citizenship unless you can prove you are of Mexican descent.
But Mexico knows that the US has soft immigration laws and will grant
citizenship to almost anyone. (After all, we grant citizenship every day to
immigrants from countries who have sworn to destroy us.) So Mexico wants to
take advantage of this ridiculous situation by encouraging their citizens to
apply for US citizenship while keeping Mexican citizenship. That way the
Mexican government can influence the political process here in the US.
Executive Order 13122, signed on May 25, 1999, by the most treasonous president
this nation has ever been cursed with, Bill Clinton, established an Interagency
Task Force on the Economic Development of the Southwest Border. Part of the
Order reads, "The Southwest Border or Southwest Border region is defined
as including the areas up to 150 miles north of the United States-Mexican
border in the States of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and California." According
to experts on international law, this sets the stage for a 150-mile-wide
“Border Zone” that will neither belong to Mexico or the US. This could then
become the first area of a Hispanic Nation that would eventually encompass the
areas shown in the map of the proposed Republica del Norte (The Northern
Republic). Our government, pushed by liberal Democrats, has been systematically
laying the groundwork for such a breakaway republic. Did you know that
immigrants from Mexico and other non European countries can come to this
country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government contracts? It’s
called affirmative action or racial privilege. Some time ago a vote was taken
in the U.S. Congress to end this practice. It was defeated. Every single Democratic
senator except Ernest Hollings voted to maintain special privileges for
Hispanic, Asian and African immigrants. They were joined by thirteen
Republicans. Bill Clinton and Al Gore have repeatedly stated that they believe
that massive immigration from countries like Mexico is good. They have also
backed special privileges for these immigrants. Mexico, a nation that has
benefited enormously from American generosity is now working to destabilize our
country. Is “destabilize” too strong a word? I don’t think so. Whether or not
Mexican leaders think they can actually create enough hatred against “gringos”
to accomplish the creation of a new republic made up of mainly US territory,
they know that pushing that agenda will cause huge political problems here and allow
Mexico to accomplish many of their goals. Is the government of Mexico behind
this? You have seen quotes from a Mexican President and a Mexican Consul
General in support of it. They have everything to gain and little to lose by
pushing it. The Mexican government is also pushing illegal immigration, which
destabilizes our economy. The US Border Control website (see LINK below)
shows an illustration from a Mexican government publication showing their
citizens how to best illegally enter the US. Why? It takes the strain of taking
care of unemployed Mexicans off the Mexican treasury and puts it on the US
treasury. And when the illegals get on welfare, they send some of their money
home, which helps the Mexican economy. All this talk by Mexican and US officials
about the US illegally occupying Mexican territory does nothing but breed
racial hatred. The sad thing is that none of this is about race. It is about
the things that all wars and conflicts are about: Greed, power and money. I
don’t like to talk about a problem without offering a solution. The US
politicians and professors who advocate taking US territory are guilty of
sedition. Remove them from their offices and (hopefully) put them in a federal
penitentiary where they can consider the error of their ways. The Mexican
politicians who do the same are guilty of inciting sedition. This is very close
to an act of war. Immediately cut of all economic aid to Mexico until its
government publicly disavows this lunatic plan. Finally, we must realize that
we can’t stop this by marching US troops into Mexico. We should use troops to
guard our borders, because the US Border Patrol cannot cover the huge US-Mexico
border without help. And we need to use pass laws that will stop the government
from rewarding illegal immigrants at the expense of those who follow the law.
We have a huge immigration problem in this country. This ridiculous Hispanic
Homeland idea is just a symptom of the problem. INTERNET RESEARCH: Professor

Professor Predicts 'Hispanic Homeland'
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A University of New Mexico Chicano Studies professor
predicts a new, sovereign Hispanic nation within the century, taking in the Southwest
and several northern states of Mexico. Charles Truxillo suggests the “Republica
del Norte,” the Republic of the North, is “an inevitability.” He envisions it
encompassing all of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and southern
Colorado, plus the northern tier of Mexican states: Baja California, Sonora,
Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas. Along both sides of the
U.S.-Mexico border “there is a growing fusion, a reviving of connections,”
Truxillo said. “Southwest Chicanos and Norteño Mexicanos are becoming one
people again.” Truxillo, 47, has said the new country should be brought into
being “by any means necessary,” but recently said it was unlikely to be formed
by civil war. Instead, its creation will be accomplished by the electoral pressure
of the future majority Hispanic population in the region, he said.
"The good news: some Californians are waking up. A recent PPIC poll found that increasing proportions of
Californians believe that the state is headed in the wrong direction—a figure
that exceeds 55 percent in the inland areas."
On its current course, California increasingly resembles a model
of what the late Taichi Sakaiya called “high-tech feudalism,” with a small
population of wealthy residents and a growing mass of modern-day serfs.
California Preening
The Golden State is on a path
to high-tech feudalism, but there’s still time to change course.
December

California
Economy, finance, and
budgets
“We
are the modern equivalent of the ancient city-states of Athens and Sparta.
California has the ideas of Athens and the power of Sparta,” declared then-governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2007. “Not only can we lead California into the future
. . . we can show the nation and the world how to get there.” When a movie star
who once played Hercules says so who’s to disagree? The idea of California as a
model, of course, precedes the former governor’s tenure. Now the state’s
anti-Trump resistance—in its zeal on matters concerning climate, technology,
gender, or race—believes that it knows how to create a just, affluent, and
enlightened society. “The future depends on us,” Governor Gavin Newsom said at his
inauguration. “And we will seize this moment.”
In
truth, the Golden State is becoming a semi-
gap between
middle and upper incomes—72
percent, compared with the U.S. average of 57
percent—and its highest poverty rate. Roughly
half of America’s homeless live in Los Angeles
property crime rate among major cities. California
hasn’t yet become a full-scale dystopia, of
course, but it’s heading in a troubling direction.
This didn’t have to happen. No place on earth has more going for
it than the Golden State. Unlike the East Coast and Midwest, California
benefited from comparatively late industrialization, with an economy based less
on auto manufacturing and steel than on science-based fields like aerospace,
software, and semiconductors. In the mid-twentieth century, the state also
gained from the best aspects of progressive rule, culminating in an elite
public university system, a massive water system reminiscent of the Roman Empire,
and a vast infrastructure network of highways, ports, and bridges. The state
was fortunate, too, in drawing people from around the U.S. and the world. The
eighteenth-century French traveler J. Hector St. John de Crèvecœur described the American as “this new man,” and
California—innovative, independent, and less bound by tradition or old
prejudice—reflected that insight. Though remnants of this California still
exist, its population is aging, less mobile, and more pessimistic, and its
roads, schools, and universities are in decline.
In the second half of the twentieth
century, California’s remarkably diverse economy spread prosperity from the coast
into the state’s inland regions. Though pockets of severe poverty existed—urban
barrios, south Los Angeles, the rural Central Valley—they were limited in
scope. In fact, growth often favored suburban and
exurban communities, where middle-class families, including minorities, settled
after World War II.
In the last two decades, the state has adopted policies that
undermine the basis for middle-class growth. State energy policies, for
example, have made California’s gas and electricity prices among the steepest
in the country. Since 2011, electricity prices have risen five times faster than the
national average. Meantime, strict land-use controls have raised housing costs
to the nation’s highest, while taxes—once average, considering
California’s urban scale—now exceed those of virtually every state. At the same time, California’s economy has shed industrial
diversity in favor of dependence on one industry: Big Tech. Just a decade
before, the state’s largest firms included those in the aerospace, finance,
energy, and service industries. Today’s 11 largest companies hail from the tech
sector, while energy firms—excluding Chevron, which has moved much of its
operations to Houston—have disappeared. Not a single top
aerospace firm—the iconic industry of twentieth-century California—retains its
headquarters here.
Though lionized in the press, this tech-oriented economy hasn’t
resulted in that many middle- and high-paying job opportunities for Californians,
particularly outside the Bay Area. Since 2008, notes Chapman University’s
Marshall Toplansky, the state has created five times the number of low-paying,
as opposed to high-wage, jobs. A remarkable 86 percent of new jobs paid below
the median income, while almost half paid under $40,000. Moreover, California,
including Silicon Valley, created fewer high-paying positions than the national
average, and far less than prime competitors like Salt Lake City, Seattle, or
Austin. Los Angeles County features the lowest pay of any of the nation’s 50
largest counties.
No state advertises its multicultural
bona fides more than California, now a majority-minority state. This is evident
at the University of California, where professors are required to prove their service to “people
of color,” to the state’s high school curricula, with its new ethnic studies component. Much of California’s
anti-Trump resistance has a racial context.
State
Attorney General Xavier Becerra has
sued
the administration numerous times over
immigration
policy while he helps ensure
California’s
distinction as a sanctuary for illegal
residents have
received driver’s licenses, and
San Francisco now permits illegal immigrants
Such
radical policies may make progressives feel better about themselves, though
they seem less concerned about how these actions affect everyday people.
California’s Latinos and African-Americans have seen good blue-collar jobs in
manufacturing and energy vanish. According to one United Way study, over half of
Latino households can barely pay their bills. “For Latinos,” notes long-time
political consultant Mike Madrid, “the
California Dream is becoming an unattainable fantasy.”
In the past, poorer Californians could count on education to
help them move up. But today’s educators appear more
interested in political indoctrination than results. Among
the
income students. In wealthy San
Francisco, test scores for black students are the worst of any California county.
Many minority residents, especially African-Americans, are fleeing the state.
In a recent UC Berkeley poll, 58 percent of black expressed interest in leaving
California, a higher percentage than for any racial group, though approximately
45 percent of Asians and Latinos also considered moving out.
Perhaps the biggest demographic disaster is generational. For
decades, California incubated youth culture, creating trends like beatniks,
hippies, surfers, and Latino and Asian art, music, and cuisine. The state is a
fountainhead of youthful wokeness and rebellion, but that may
prove short-lived as millennials leave. From 2014 to 2018, notes demographer
Wendell Cox, net domestic out-migration grew from 46,000 to 156,000. The exiles
are increasingly in their family-formation years. In the 2010s, California
suffered higher net declines in virtually every age category under 54, with the
biggest rate of loss coming among the 35-to-44 cohort.
As families with children leave, and international migration slows
to one-third of Texas’s level, the remaining population is rapidly aging. Since
2010, California’s fertility rate has dropped 60 percent, more than the
national average; the state is now aging 50 percent more rapidly than the rest
of the country. A growing number of tech firms and millennials have headed to
the Intermountain West. Low rates of
homeownership among younger people play a big role in this trend, with
California millennials forced to rent, with little
chance of buying their own home, while many of the state’s biggest metros lead the nation in long-term owners. California is increasingly a greying refuge for those who bought
property when housing was affordable.
After Governor Schwarzenegger morphed
into a progressive environmentalist, climate concerns began driving state
policy. His successors have embraced California “leadership” on climate issues.
Jerry Brown recently told a crowd in China that the
rest of the world should follow California’s example. The state’s top
Democrats, like state senate president pro tem Kevin DeLeon, Los Angeles mayor
Eric Garcetti, and billionaire Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer,
now compete for the green mantle.
Their policies have worsened conditions for many
middle- and working-class Californians. Oblivious to these concerns, Greens
ignore practical ideas—nuclear power, natural gas cars, job creation in
affordable areas, home-based work—that could help reduce emissions without
disrupting people’s lives. Ultra-green policies also work against the
state’s proclaimed goal of building
more than 3.5 million new housing units by 2025. In accordance with its efforts
to reduce car use, the state mandates that most growth occurs in
already-crowded coastal areas, where land prices are highest. But in cities
like San Francisco, the cost of building one unit for a homeless
person surpasses $700,000. California’s inland regions, though experiencing
population gains, keep losing state funding for decrepit highways in favor of
urban-centric, mass transit projects—yet transit use has stagnated, especially
in greater Los Angeles.
The state, nevertheless, continues its pursuit of policies that
would eliminate all fossil fuels and nuclear power—outpacing national or even
Paris Accord levels and guaranteeing ever-rising energy prices. Mandating
everything from electric cars to electric homes will only
drive more working-class Californians into “energy poverty.” High energy prices
also directly affect the manufacturing and logistics firms that employ
blue-collar workers at decent wages. Business relocation expert Joe Vranich notes that industrial firms
account for many of the 2,000 employers that left the state this decade.
California’s industrial growth has fallen to the bottom tier of states; last year, it
ranked 44th, with a rate of growth one-third to one-quarter that of prime
competitors like Texas, Virginia, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida.
Similarly, the high energy prices tend to hit the interior
counties that, besides being poorer, have far less temperate climates. Cities
like Bakersfield, capital of the state’s
once-vibrant oil industry, are particularly hard-hit. High energy prices will
cost the region, northeast of the Los Angeles Basin, 14,000 generally high-paid
jobs, even as the state continues to import oil from Saudi Arabia.
California’s leaders apply climate change to excuse virtually
every failure of state policy. During the California drought, Brown and his minions blamed the
“climate” for the dry period, refusing to take responsibility for insufficient water storage that would have
helped farmers. When the rains returned and reservoirs filled, this argument
was forgotten, and little effort has been made to conserve water for next time.
Likewise, Newsom and his supporters in the media have blamed recent fires on
changes in the global climate, but the disaster had as much to do with green
mandates against controlled burns and brush clearance than anything
occurring on a planetary scale. Brown joined greens and others in blocking such sensible
policies.
Few climate advocates ever seem to ask if their policies actually
help the planet. Indeed, California’s green policy, as one paper demonstrates, may be
increasing total greenhouse-gas emissions by pushing people and industries to
states with less mild climates. In the past decade, the state ranked 40th in
per-capita reductions, and its global carbon footprint is minimal. Renewable
energy may be expensive and unreliable, but state policy nevertheless enriches the green-energy investments
of tech leaders, even when their efforts—like
the Google-backed Ivanpah solar farm—fail to deliver
affordable, reliable energy.
It’s not so surprising, given these enthusiasms,
leads a city with paralyzing traffic congestion,
proliferating homeless camps—would rather talk
about becoming chair of the C40 Cities Climate
Leadership Group.
Reality is asserting itself, though. Tech firms already show signs
of restlessness with the current regulatory regime and appear to be
shifting employment to other states, notably Texas, Tennessee, Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona. Economic-modeling firm Emsi estimates that several states—Idaho,
Tennessee, Washington, and Utah—are growing their tech employment faster than
California. The state is losing momentum in professional and technical
services—the largest high-wage sector—and now stands roughly in the middle of
the pack behind other western states such as Texas, Tennessee, and Florida. And
Assembly Bill 5, the state law regulating certain forms of contract labor, reclassifies part-time workers.
Aimed initially at ride-sharing giants Uber and Lyft, the legislation also extends to
independent contractors in industries from media to trucking.
At some point, as even Brown noted, the ultra-high capital
gains returns will fall and, combined with the costs of an expanding welfare
state, could leave the state in fiscal chaos. Big Tech could stumble, a
possibility made more real by the recent $100 billion drop in the value of
privately held “unicorn” companies, including WeWork. If the tech economy slows,
a rift could develop between two of the state’s biggest forces—unions and the
green establishment—over future levels of taxation. More than two-thirds of California cities don’t
have any funds set aside for retiree health care and other retirement expenses.
The state also confronts $1 trillion in pension debt, according to former
Democratic state senator Joe Nation. U.S. News & Report ranks
California, despite the tech boom, 42nd in fiscal health among the states.
The good news: some Californians are waking up. A recent PPIC poll found that
increasing proportions of Californians believe that the state is headed in the
wrong direction—a figure that exceeds 55 percent in the inland areas. And voters dislike the state legislature even more than they dislike Donald Trump. Newsom’s approval rating stands at 43
percent, placing him toward the bottom among the nation’s
governors. A conservative-led campaign to recall him is unlikely to succeed, but surveys reveal
growing opposition to the new tax hikes proposed by the legislature. There’s a growing
concern about the state’s expanding homeless population.
And a rebellion against the state’s energy policies is already
under way. Recently, 110 cities, with total population exceeding 8
million, have demanded changes in California’s drive to prevent new natural gas
hookups. The state’s Chamber of Commerce and the three most prominent
ethnic chambers—African-American, Latino, and Asian-Pacific—have joined this
effort.
Californians need less bombast and progressive pretense from their
leaders and more attention to policies that could counteract the economic and
demographic tides threatening the state. On its current course,
California increasingly resembles a model of what the late Taichi Sakaiya
called “high-tech feudalism,” with a small population of wealthy residents and
a growing mass of modern-day serfs. Delusion and preening ultimately
have limits, as more Californians are beginning to recognize. As the 2020s
beckon, the time for the state to change course is now.

Report:
California ‘Entirely’ Responsible for Nation’s Rise in Homelessness
20 Dec 20192,076
2:41
The
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reported Friday that the
nation’s homeless population rose 2.7% as of January 2019, an increase it said
was “entirely” driven by a rise of 16.4% in the state of California.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development is reporting its
third consecutive increase in its homelessness projection, based on a summary
of its annual report obtained by the Associated Press.
President Trump has been highly critical of the homeless problem
in California, and HUD said the increase seen in its January snapshot was
caused “entirely” by a 16.4% increase in the state’s homeless population.
“As we look across our nation, we see great progress, but we’re
also seeing a continued increase in street homelessness along our West Coast
where the cost of housing is extremely high,” HUD Secretary Ben Carson said.
“In fact, homelessness in California is at a crisis level and needs to be
addressed by local and state leaders with crisis-like urgency.”
…
In the January 2018 count, almost 553,000 people were counted as
homeless. That number rose to about 568,000 this year.
The number of homeless veterans, and the number of homeless
families with children, dropped.
It is not clear whether the rise in California is wholly
California’s fault. Homeless people from other states often relocate to
California, partly because the winter weather is more tolerable (though also
because of generous welfare benefits).
President Donald Trump has proposed federal intervention in
California to help solve the problem. HUD Secretary Ben Carson recently visited
the state to assess the problem.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom told Breitbart News on Thursday
evening that the homeless crisis is “an embarrassment, it is unacceptable. And
we’ve got to own it, we’ve got to own up and solve it.”

However, he has pushed back against federal intervention, saying
more federal money is needed, but not federal control.
