Everyone I know (including Mexican-Americans) says that if they had wanted to move to Mexico they would have already done it. NO ONE wants to. Instead, Mexico is being forcibly served to us on a platter, and we're paying the price.
Pleas to those politicians who are supposed to be representing us go into the round file. What's the old saying, something about being screwed without a kiss?? It's happening here.
I too live in California, just north of L.A. in the Central Valley. Everything you say is true. We have been looking for somewhere to run to, tough to find somewhere where the illegals are not there.
We have a whole section of our city that looks just like Mexico, with better roads. The billboards, store signs, everything is in Spanish. They have destroyed our city.
We are looking at Hawaii simply because the Mexicans don't go there.
Gotta get out of California soon one way or the other. I have lived here all my life and now despise this state.
"The gang activity is frightening, the shootings are happening on a regular basis now, it's downright scary."
How many shootings are you talking about? Violent crime is DOWN sharply in California, compared to the 1990s and 1980s.
