COMBINING STATE, COUNTY AND CITY WELFARE TO ILLEGALS, MEXICO COST LEGALS IN CA $50 BILLION YEARLY FOR WELFARE. HOW MUCH OF A WALL COULD THAT HAVE BUILT? HOW MUCH HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS COULD HAVE BEEN BUILT?
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.
NAFTA JOE BIDEN = DRUG DEALER
Jesse Watters: Why is Biden betraying us?
Even Hollywood is bailing on California now...
Lots of people are fleeing California now. More left than came in last year, even with the illegal immigrant inflow.
We have an impression as to who they generally are -- Republicans, productive middle class people, companies looking for greener pastures.
The Hollywood crowd is fleeing, too.
James Freeman of the Wall Street Journal (subscription) has an interesting piece describing how the Hollywood characters who are fleeing and why they are doing it:
Last year brought an entertaining series of dispatches in which departing residents and their media interlocutors avoided discussing the monumental and expensive failures of so-called progressive governance. But now it seems even in the world headquarters of trendy leftism, public acknowledgments of reality are on the rise.
He notes subtle detail about it: In the past, people who fled California from Hollywood could never admit as to the real reason why they were doing it. That was six months ago. Today, they are saying it out loud. Then he quotes from a piece in The Wrap about a Hollywood functionary who admited the naked truth about why he was leaving the state:
”A growing chorus of Hollywood executives are talking about leaving the city,“ one entertainment industry insider tells TheWrapRyan Kavanaugh, founder and CEO of the video-sharing app Triller, grew up in Los Angeles — Brentwood to be precise. But now he’s ready to pack his bags and move his family and his business headquarters to Florida.For Kavanaugh, such a major move represents a mix of concerns — including being closer to his parents, who already left Brentwood for a penthouse condo in the Sunshine State in January. In an interview with TheWrap, Kavanaugh said the main reason he’s ready to leave is his increasing disillusionment with L.A.’s rising crime, homelessness and what he considers California’s anti-business policies that are driving him away from the place he has called home for 47 years.“I grew up here, I grew up in Brentwood and I was allowed to be on the streets,” Kavanaugh said. “I would never let my kids walk (alone) in Brentwood… How many times do you have to be out in Los Angeles and see feces in the streets before you just don’t want to be here anymore?” he said.
“A new tipping point emerged late last year with the murder of philanthropist Jacqueline Avant in her Beverly Hills home,” said Gene Del Vecchio, adjunct professor of marketing at USC’s Marshall School of Business. “It so shocked the protected community that even the liberal Beverly Hills city council voted to recall the liberal Los Angeles district attorney George Gascón. When crime hits home, it becomes personal, and people act by either fighting, as with the Gascón recall, or by leaving.”
The topic here was the Canadian truckers' strike over vaccine mandates, but the target of his wrath could have just as easily been California, which is all about vaccine mandates. He's starting to admit the obvious about the failures of blue-state type regimes.
And that's very interesting, because Musk is a new billionaire, he wasn't around a few years ago. Most of the characters who are today's billionaires, who uniformly defend the status quo in California have been around for at least two decades. Musk, in other words, is on the crest of the cutting edge which sees unsustainable problems and wants to get away from them. Old-line establishment billionaires such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, or even the newer Silicon Valley billies have been fixtures defending an establishment, same as the Vanderbilts of old might have done. Musk, though, still smells the fresh air and knows which way the wind is blowing. And now he's getting obvious about what is going on with blue-state tyrannies, just as Hollywood minions are getting obvious about what is going on in California and why they are fleeing. They all are some kind of wave of the future, quite unlike the older characters who continue to defend the status quo of California even as it turns into a suppurating disaster.
The rebel voices are getting louder, let's say, and that signals some kind of Gotterdammerung for the sheer retrograde wretchedness of California on its blue state model.
Joe Biden to Import 20K More Foreign Workers for Blue-Collar American Jobs
President Joe Biden is allowing businesses to import an additional 20,000 foreign workers on the H-2B visas program to take blue-collar jobs in the United States even as 12 million Americans remain jobless and millions more are underemployed.
On Thursday, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said 13,500 of the H-2B visas will be for foreign nationals who previously secured the visas. The other 6,500 visas will go to foreign nationals in Haiti, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
“We are providing employers with the resources and support needed to sustain their businesses while expanding lawful pathways to the United States,” Mayorkas said in a statement.
Currently, 12 million Americans are jobless and nearly four million are underemployed but all want full-time jobs with good wages and competitive benefits.
Matthew Tragesser with the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) blasted the announcement, saying that Biden “continues to do the opposite” of “protecting the American worker” with his inflation of the U.S. labor market for the benefit of businesses:
The administration continues to place the interests of foreign nationals over blue and white collar American workers at a time when wages remain stagnant. The media and policymakers need to stop saying ‘labor shortage’ and instead try ‘adequate wage shortage,’ a phenomenon that more cheap foreign labor will keep in place. [Emphasis added]
Every year, businesses are allowed to import 66,000 H-2B foreign visa workers to take blue-collar, non-agricultural jobs in the U.S. Former President Donald Trump’s administration routinely brought in additional H-2B foreign visa workers for business to hire, and President Joe Biden is doing the same.
Less than a month ago, Mayorkas announced that he would allow businesses to import 20,000 more H-2B foreign visa workers.
The H-2B visa program has been widely used by businesses to drag down the wages of American workers in landscaping, conservation work, the meatpacking industry, the construction industry, and fishing jobs, a 2019 study by the Center for Immigration Studies finds.
When comparing the wages of H-2B foreign workers to the national wage average for each blue-collar industry, about 21 out of 25 of the industries offered lower wages to foreign workers than Americans.
Annually, the U.S. gives green cards to about 1.2 million legal immigrants, while another 1.4 million foreign workers are admitted every year to take American jobs.

YOU WONDERED WHY OBAMA-HOLDER WORKED SO HARD TO SABOTAGE AMERICAN VOTING FOR MORE ILLEGALS???
Those are the subliterate, low-skill, non-English-speaking indigents whose own societies are unable or unwilling to usefully educate and employ them. Bring these people here and they not only need a lot of services, they are putty in the hands of leftist demogogues as Hugo Chavez demonstrated - and they are very useful as leftist voters who will support the Soros agenda.
George Soros Donates $125 Million to Democrats Before November Midterms
Left-wing billionaire and Democrat donor George Soros has reportedly fueled Democrats with $125 million through a super PAC heading into the November midterms.
Dubbed as a “long-term investment,” the money is one of the largest political donations in recent years, Politico reported, noting political donations of nine figures are exceedingly rare.
The donation will also likely be one of the largest political donations heading into the midterms.
Soros told the publication the “Democracy PAC” will be allocated to “causes and candidates” to strengthen the “infrastructure of American democracy: voting rights and civic participation, civil rights and liberties, and the rule of law.”
Soros, 91, will concede leadership of the PAC and allow his son Alexander Soros to serve as president.
Alexander Soros told Politico the PAC will be used as a weapon against those who “discredit and undermine our electoral process,” citing the “generational threat that cannot be addressed in just one or two election cycles.”
Reports indicate the “Democracy PAC” has already donated large sums to congressional PACs.
Reportedly, $2.5 million has been donated to Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) Senate Majority PAC, $1 million to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) House Majority PAC, and $1 million also donated to the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State.

Soros is well-known for contributing great sums of money nationwide to local prosecutors to alter the criminal justice system in the name of “criminal justice reform.” Breitbart News reported:
The rise of these Soros-backed prosecutors has coincided with a massive surge in murder and crime in many Democrat-run cities, including many where these prosecutors have implemented radical policies toward policing and incarceration.
Most recently, for example, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón has faced criticism for his radical reforms in the year since he took office, while murders soared. “The city last year experienced 397 murders, up 11.8 percent from the 355 the previous year, and a 53.9 percent increase from the 258 in the pre-pandemic year of 2019,” Los Angeles magazine noted.
