"Los Angeles-area leadership, especially the city of Los Angeles, is indifferent if not hostile to business activity. ...Los Angeles city officials were pursuing social measures such as inclusionary zoning, living wages and bans on big-box retailers rather than improved schools and training, lower taxes and a healthier business climate. " I've been trying to tell the Anti-immigrant FR posters from LA that their problems aren't immigration problems but rather local government problems.
Similarly, their crime problems aren't immigration problems but rather local government problems. LA, which is several times larger than Houston only has a third the number of police officers. LA has severe gang problems, Houston doesn't.

Incredible, what you are saying in effect that these newcomers are great people, just need a bit more of "Lawn Order" to be good citizens?
Any where else you'd classed as a anti-Hispanic bigot.
