Why not just give California to Mexico at this point?
California gives immigrants here illegally unprecedented rights, benefits, protections
It started with in-state tuition. Then came driver’s licenses, new rules designed to limit deportations and state-funded healthcare for children. And on Monday, in a gesture heavy with symbolism, came a new law to erase the word “alien” from California’s labor code.
Together, these piecemeal measures have taken on a significance greater than their individual parts — a fundamental shift in the relationship between California and its residents who live in the country illegally. The various benefits, rights and protections add up to something experts liken to a kind of California citizenship.
Democratic lawmakers and immigration activists, with diminishing opposition from the GOP, continue to seek new laws and protections. These measures include cracking down on employers withholding pay from low-wage workers and expanding state-subsidized healthcare to adult immigrants without papers.
It’s not like at least a third of California prisons are holding violent criminal illegal aliens or something.
A few comments from Californians
- Does anyone find it odd that an American citizen who wrote a bad check at age 18, cannot get a license to cut hair or clean teeth ? In the meantime, an illegal alien with multiple murders in Mexico, can become a lawyer, get a home loan, and of course a California Drivers License. Have you noticed the increased traffic in LA, while the hit-and-run rate is rarely reported in the press and hovers above 50%, because illegal aliens can now get a drivers license without buying insurance. Instead of carefully driving to and from work because they are unlicensed and their car will be impounded, they now can go anywhere, anytime with their worst penalty from a nasty officer being a $25 fix-it ticket for failure to provide proof of insurance, when in fact they are uninsured. Welfare checks and full union membership is coming.
- Wonder if the DOJ will go after Brown and legislative Democrats as they went after Arizona for legislating against federal law?
- It does not mean much to be a American Citizen anymore in California. Everything the D’s do here in CA are to benefit them. This insures the votes to keep them in office. This also insures they have a cheap work force to cut the grass, clean the office and cook them dinner. Ever notice where the sanctuary cities are they are heavily D’s? Again there are no benefits to be a citizen. Sad really.
Of course, what California does will end up costing the taxpayers in the rest of the country.
I thought conservatives favored states’ rights?
Are you sure about that? California is generating surpluses, is paying down it’s “Wall of Debt” and pays more into the Feds than it receives (unlike most Red states).
Over 10% of the nation’s goods and services are from California. Per capita GDP and income are well above the national average. I’d say they’re pretty successful, AND they grant increased rights to undocumented Americans.
Teach will your stores cell phones to illegals?
Does NC give driving permits to illegals? How could you continue to either live in that state OR even vote for the GOP after they did such an OUTRAGE !!!
I will believe your anti immigration / and gun positions s only after you show pics of large signs in your stores saying you will not serve illegal aliens
oh
Also I guess maybe it was a good idea that you didn’t go for my suggestion about having a 10% off sale for all NC OpenCarry people as a welcome sale. One of them just shot and killed his 2 toddlers

Good news is black lives matter.
She missed.
The stupidity of being demonstrated is beyond comprehension or understanding.
They have spent us into the greatest financial hole in history and still want to give more away to those who have not earned it, and at the cost of their home, their families, their nation. their very future.
They are going to lose everything and will never understand what happened, but be confidant they will find somebody – other than themselves – to blame.
I’m glad I’m 77 years old. I will miss watching the bottom fall out on all these mind-boggling idiots and fools.
Liberalism is a disease that has killed more than one nation. The United States will not be the exception.
Here’s another thug attacking officers. Fortunately, he lived. Why didn’t the police kill him? You be the judge.

yeah Bob you had the good years when the USA was run by Dems? Any problems cashing your Social Security checks or medicaid/medicare beneies?
And Teach in NC your home 1 out of 20 workers is a alien. although only 3.5% of the population they are are 5% of the workforce.
@Jeffery
This is the same mindset that occurred in most of Europe as they invited immigrants into the nations willy nilly with little to no thought for the consequences.
They boomed for awhile…..now they are all languishing. Careful immigration policy for every nation….every state is a must.
Anytime you drastically increase CONSUMERS….which is what California and EUROPE were desperate to do……you create a demand for goods and services. This in turn drives the economy…..it provides additional tax revenue to pay down your so called debt but then the end result is you are left with a myraid of problems associated with allowing unchecked immigration to your shores.
According to Forbes California is ranked 36th in terms of a positive business environment (business costs, labor supply, regulatory environment, economic climate, growth prospects, and quality of life). California ranked 46 in business costs, 28 in labor supply, 43 in regulatory environment, 26 in economic climate,
What is a simple driver of their econonomic surge is the massive influx of illegals willing to CONSUME……..in a Consumer driven economy such as ours…..this will overcome a lot of evils and California is willing to play the game and pay the price to keep up its unsustainable way of life.
Just like Most of Europe is finding out that Socialism is unsustainable they turned to massive immigration to become consumers and more sources of tax revenue to sustain a failed model.
In the end……What liberalism doesnt grasp is that there is no free lunch. Its a basic axiom of the natural evolution of everything on this planet.
So population growth is bad? Increasing the number of hard-workers is bad?
What are the “myriad of problems” you expect from California removing the word “alien” from the labor law?
I was responding to THIS^^^^^^^
Now your throwing an entirely different set of arguments in response to my response.
Will You never learn I do not play the Bait and Switch game?
Jeffery:
Trolls are generally not so pernicious* as you on this blog.
But at least you are proving my point. Thank you.
*Pernicious as in “a pernicious influence on society”.
That’s you Pal.
Liam,
I DO know you like to play “I refuse to support my own statements game”.
YOU brought up the “myraid (sic) of problems”, not me. Do you not type the words that appear under your name?
Bob,
Anything to criticize specifically? I thought not. One characteristic of conservatives is their inability to take a punch. They love to toss out bullshit statements and then when challenged devolve to name-calling. That’s you, pal, that’s you.
I DO hope I’m having a pernicious effect on this blog. Most of Teach’s themes are either false or wildly exaggerated. So I really do hope to have a pernicious effect.

Why are all these little white girls (sometimes boys) kidnapped by Caucasian Christian Conservatives (CCC) and raped repeatedly? And all those white priests and ministers raping kids for so many years and covering it up. Is pedophile rape a white thing? Why do you never talk about white on white rape?
I’m sure there are some CCCs who don’t rape young girls just as there are some young Black men who are not criminals.
Jeffrey tries to use the dog whistle:
Jeffrey assumes that the assailant wasn’t killed because he is white, but, reading the story, I see no mention at all that the assailant was armed or that he tried to seize one of the officers’ weapons. He was drunk, and a combative ex-con.
Jeffrey apparently has some special glasses, perhaps sold to him by the Rev. Al Sharpton, which makes him see everything in racial terms.
Dana,
I am just reporting data. I asked you to be the judge and you were. Your explanations are weak, though. Since Michael Brown’s killing, there have dozens of Blacks killed in police custody who were unarmed and did not try to seize an officer’s weapon. Does being drunk and a combative ex-con immunize one from being killed by police? Good to know.
Police are more afraid of Blacks than they are of whites. Perhaps that fear is justified. But that they are more afraid of Blacks leads to tragedy. John Crawford III was shopping in WalMart, picked up a toy rifle and was shot and killed. 12 year old Tamir Rice had a toy gun and was shot and killed in a Cleveland playground. Derrick Daniel Thomas robbed a house and when cornered aimed his pistol at police. He was arrested unharmed – he’s white. What if Cliven Bundy and his bund of armed thugs had been Black? Joe Houseman hangs around Kalamazoo with a rifle over his shoulder, sometimes intoxicated, and the police have yet to shoot him. 93 year old Pearlie Golden was shot 5 times by police and killed in her own yard for waving a pistol around. It was the officer’s second killing of a Black person in 6 months. Officer Stem was cleared of the first shooting but fired for the second.
We can do this all day. Policing is an incredibly difficult, frightening and dangerous job and we must support our great officers (who serve and protect) with better screening, better pay and better training.

Your funny…..I guess you missed my list. You are one angry black man.
Gallup consistently polls that 65% of Americans want illegals to have a pathway to citizenship.
Tose others are outside of mainstream America
Sure, if the “pathway” is to come here legally.
This number would rise substantially if the USA moved to secure the border. But we do not and so the 35 percent that disagree with this assessment understand that in another 20 years we will be legalizing another 15 million democratic voters.
Those that disagree with this understand that there is no FREE LUNCH. I am one of those who will move firmly into the legalization column IF they SECURE THE BORDER….and i mean SECURE THE BORDER.
IF…..they are going to leave the border wide open for millions more to flood our shores then I am NOT one of those who will change his position.
FOR MOST ON THE RIGHT……….
1. SECURE THE BORDER……….
2. The rest then becomes manageable and negotiable.
