Help! California is being swamped with illegal aliens and
the federal government sits idly by and looks the other way.
I thought the Civil War settled the primacy of a strong
central government. I also thought the federal government
has a constitutional obligation to protect the states from
invasion or attack. I wish they would excersise that
obligation in California; we a drowning in a sea of illegal
aliens who are draining our state dry. There are untold
millions of illegal (yes, illegal) aliens pouring in here.
Estimates are at least 1 and a half million, but that's an
extreme low end figure.
The Border Patrol makes about a million arrests each year;
and by their own admission, they only catch about 10% of
them. It does not take a scientist to do the math on this.
Most of these people have little education or skills to
contribute, and thus have to do the jobs they claim
residents or citizens will not do. An extreme position.
With the California government passing de facto amnesty laws
at breakneck speed, we honest residents and citizens are
being denied our rights under the constitution. As most well
know, drivers licenses for illegals, in state tuition and
fees for college, and now a bill awaiting the governors'
signature for free community college for some illegal
aliens, as well as free education for millions of children
K-12, free or low cost health care for millions of people.
No wonder California is bankrupt. Pro-immigrant forces also
fail to mention that approximately $4 billion dollars is
taken out of the California economy every year and sent to
the home countries of these illegal aliens to support the
families they have there. These are true and verifiable
statistics. Yet not one single candidate for governor in the
recall election has issued a thing about this invasion
except McClintock. And he has been branded a racist for his
support of Prop 187.
We citizens have no voice in what is happening, and as a
veteran who served his country, I am sick and tired of
having people who have violated our laws, by their own
choosing, having more rights than I and others who supported
Prop 187. California is rapidly being torn apart under the
financial burden that no one wants to face. I am becoming
disillusioned with our federal government and its lack of
inaction to keep California from becoming a third world
state. I live in Long Beach and the quality of life has
really declined. We have an incredibly large population of
illegal aliens here and the gangs are rampant. Most have no
drivers insurance so if you get hit, you are out of luck. I
have had my car hit twice by illegals driving without
insurance. Trash and garbage everywhere, people packed into
small apartments like sardines; no wonder affordable housing
is getting rare. Class rooms in the public schools are
packed, mainly due to the influx of newly arrived illegal
immigrants. When do we have the right to say ENOUGH IS
ENOUGH? From what I have been seeing lately, being an
American is not what it used to be. Why buy the cow when you
can get the milk for free. The Constitution does not specify
protection against all enemies, foreign and domestic; nor
does it specify the types of attacks or invasions the
federal government will protect us from. The state of
California always states that immigration is a federal
problem and they are not immigration officers; yet, are they
not performing the duties of an immigration officer by
authorizing benefits for people they know have violated
federal laws; for people who have defrauded the system that
was meant for those legal residents and citizens entitled to
them? By sanctioning and encouraging people to come to this
state with the promises of sanctuary, benefits and immunity;
California subverts federal law and authority. This was one
of the main points which ignited the Civil War. We are
nearing that flash point again, as is our constitutional
right when the government fails to act in a matter of
national importance. California as a state should be sued in
federal court for this mess and its' aiding and abetting
the subverion of federal law. It should also be required to
stop acting as a soveriegn nation by performing de facto
immigration duties and providing sanctuary for known federal
law breakers. Any takers?
