As a patriotic citizen living and working in California, I feel I can't take this tact. You may be 99% correct, but I have to hold on to that glimmer of hope that things will improve if we show our concerns and explain ourselves.

California has put out the welcome mat for illegal immigrants. I very much doubt you'll ever have the demographics needed to compete with that.

Perhaps you should figure out how to convince California to secede from the U.S. Unlike the 1860's war, I think much of the U.S. would be glad to see California become its own country.

Someone was saying we contribute a large portion of the nation's defense technology and manufacturing, and we may even contribute as many or more troops than any other state. So California has at least some redeeming qualities, not to mention its natural beauty.

Yes, this state is a mess. But I'm not giving up on it yet. I think over the past 30 years many mistakes have been made in the name of "peace" and "shared" prosperity. We can reshape states as well as our nation. It takes time and determination.

By the way, it may take a federal solution to our state's leniency regarding illegal immigration. Again, please don't just sit there: let your senators know they need to act before it's too late and a nuke has been smuggled in across the Mexican border. And the demographics, aiyeeee, the demographics. It seems that every other illegal alien is a leftist.
