Most of California was like that before we were inundated by New York and east coast college students during the Viet Nam War. They got their deferments, hung on in our low-tuition state colleges, and stayed after graduation. The California culture has suffered ever since.

Most of California was like that before we were inundated by New York and east coast college students during the Viet Nam War. They got their deferments, hung on in our low-tuition state colleges, and stayed after graduation. The California culture has suffered ever since.

My hometown, San Diego was wonderful in the 50's and early 60's, just like you said. Just a small military town, and I knew every street.

The democrats ended the Bracero Program in '63-'64 and that started the onslaught of illegal aliens., followed by the Viet Nam War.

Now San Diego is a mega-tropolis of illegals, homosexuals, liberals from all over and I'm grateful every day I live in the deep South.
