What does one expect when middle class people flee to be replaced by illiterate 3rd worlders.

A large part of it is illegal immigration.

Lots and lots of reasons.

RAT policies are big reasons, especially over regulation. BUT, the climate, especially in Southern CA is such that it is possible to be homeless and camp out year round. They can’t do that in Wyoming. This makes CA a magnet for homeless, and we are never going to be able to change that.

The real solution is to make living outdoors illegal in urban areas and then enforce that with the same zeal that they enforce zoning and building regulations on homeowners.

If they would force the homeless into non-urban areas, with limited opportunities for begging and petty crime, a lot of them would decide to get jobs and work. The real problem is that we have allowed the homeless to make cities cesspools.

Legal homeless camps on the outskirts of cities would solve this problem and allow government to provide sanitation, health services, etc. without making downtown unlivable for the productive.

“Democrats who have no problem spending it’s citizens money to feed the illegal, lazy, drug ingesting, multiple baby producing mothers, who don’t give a rat’s ass about America as long as those free bee’s keep rolling in. “

Yes, we see those Mexican invader women every day here in CA with their half dozen or more fat kids in tow. They are “offering their frijoles” to a gaggle of Mexican men, or so is would seem!

Try Outline.com.

Hollyweirdos should raise the pay of their illegal employees and adopt those unaccompanied minors instead of adopting out of Africa.

When bribery is at it’s peak you always end up with poor governing policy and California is the prime example of it.
