The San Diego border region actually has got a lot of nice residential areas and more springing up. We’re far away enough from the border, and it’s built up contiguously enough, that we never see a migrating illegal alien. I guess they’re still coming in elsewhere. Many areas along border are without fence or poor excuse for one. But we are now importing illegals.
I lived in Chula Vista from 1961 to 1983. I purchased a house in Mira Mesa in August 1983. I sold the Mira Mesa house in Feb 2001 after purchasing a nice home in Pocatello, ID in August 2000. Gangs, graffiti and gunshots arrived in Mira Mesa about 1996. It was a big clue that it was time to go. The cartel gangs have a foothold in Layton, UT and export some of their drug violence into southeast Idaho now.

They’re coming to Escondido where “Deputy Mayor” Olga Diaz is waving a large “Welcome Amigos” flag.
