No On S744 so USA doesn't become a 3rd wld crapzone like CA
Orange County(SoCal) has picked up the Los Angeles illegal alien infection with gang stabbings, driveby shootings, packs of roving gangstas.. Even far down in SJC of all places. OC may be even worse than LA inner city as the illegals and their gangsta spawn have emmigrated and spread out all over CA and USA from their original lairs in inner LA,. leaving only the most recent poorest humble immigrants left in the inner LA stews.
The OC suburbs are not safe, except for gated, guarded walled-in communities in which the diminishing OC middle/ upper classes huddle away from the hellish plebian mobs.
The PC'ed articles of the LA Time and OC Register regarding illegals and gang crimes are aided and abbetted by the state of CA and even the Obama Adm/ Congress who are now proposing amnesty for illegals, as they only want the votes to stay in power and it does not matter to them if LA/OC are becoming third world crapzones. Votes is what matters- just throw freebees at the howling 3rd world proletariat masses and keep them in line with gov't handouts and laker games
It matters little to the CA hack politicians that LA is the gang capital of the USA , that LA has exported it's gangs all over USA, that illegal- alien spawned gang violence accounted for a siginficant portion of the 2600 Homicides in LA County last 3 years, and even that an occasional innocent bystander gets killed by bullets or hit by a drunken illegal.
The Liberal Dems see it as small coin in exchange for getting the Hispanic vote and maintaining their grip on power in CA and the US. It is all about power and control and no matter that CA has a 10 % UE rate. The sufferings of the UE Americans are of little consequence to greedy power hungery liberal Dems as long as the Hispanics keep voting them in. Just throw them the sham-nesty bone.
BTW Bush Administration was doing the same appeasement to illegals up to the 2007 amnesty fight before taking a harder line. There are big business/greedy corp Rino Republicrats as bad on the illegal alien problem as the ultra -libs - a pox on both their houses.

New improved 'No on S 744 letter' faxed to my Senators
Dear Honorable Senators
Over last 3 decades 10's of millions of illegals have illegally crossed over our porous borders and flooded into LA Region and California. They have committed uncounted instances of document fraud thru use of phony work documents and borrowed Social Security Nos. to obtain work which should go to unemployed American citizens.
I have actual first hand knowledge of the types of fraud and phony green card doc reproduction which took place back in the 80's and 90's here in LA. Millions of illegals took advantage of the laxity of enforcement of our immigration laws and LA/CA being sanctuary regions to brazenly commit uncounted felonies and frauds in obtaining work permits and benefits illegally.
In CA we have averaged over 10% unemployment and over 20% real U-6 UE since 2008.
Millions of Native Californians like myself have been economically devastated and have lost jobs or saw reductions in pay and benefits, yet we have allowed illegals to swamp into CA/LA last 3 decades and steal away blue collar and laboring jobs which should be held by the ever growing ranks of unemployed Americans.
Both USA and CA have for too long caved in to the illegal alien lobby/socialist do-gooders, and cheap labor -exploiting corporations in granting freebies and unearned benefits such as free healthcare to illegals and recent green carders. Illegal aliens, visa cheats, and those holding temp visa/ work permits have abused USA's generous immigration policies. 10's of Millions of illegals have come across U.S last 20-30 years and committed serious frauds and abused the generous CA safety net to get free benefits which has in part cause CA to be bankrupt.
CA was till this year as much as 40 billion in the red and is still largely a 3rd world bankrupt state due largely to providing free benefits to illegal aliens who freeload on the free education and healthcare, meanwhile sending remittances back to their home countries and not providing one cent in taxes to pay into the CA social security net.
I urge a no vote on S744 immig reform bill, which does nothing but give blanket unconditional amnesty to 11-15 million illegal alien lawbreakers, with false guarantees and promises of increased border security and fencing

NO on S 744 letter just faxed to my 2 Senators & WH
Dear Honorable Senators and my House Rep,
Americans want to see our immigration laws enforced thru continued ICE Raids, not new legislation that provides citizenship to those who have broken our laws. US economy is still suffering in a bad depression with 8-10% unemployment. Lots of American citizens are out of work and need assistance. Providing amnesty to illegals is the wrong prescription in a depressionary economy with 15-20% real U-6 UE.
It is just plain wrong to allow amnesty and forgiveness for millions of lawbreaking illegal immigrants who used fake doc's and forgery to get jobs which should go to law-abiding Americans. No amnesty and deport all those who entered here illegally . And shut down that border. You my Reps need to wake up and realize that there are millions of UE Americans without work yet millions of illegals who have entered the country illegally last 20-30 years who are now holding down jobs obtained using fake doc's . Do you stand behind the average out of work Joe Citizen or are a pawn to the big greedy exploiting corporations who prefer paying cheap wages to illegals who BTW also suck gov't benefits and drain the social security net, causing states like CA to be deeply in debt.
California has 8-9 % official UE rate, which is a vastly understated stat which does not count the millions of Californian's like myself who have simply quit looking for work, have become marginalized in the heavily immig-overrun California economy and are thus not counted by CA EDD. .
The real U-6 UE rate is well over 20%. That means nearly one in five Californians are either out of work & officially listed as UE by EDD, quit looking for work, involuntarily UE, marginalized, or reduced to part time work.
CA also has 3 million illegals. 2 million of those are holding down non-agricultural laboring and blue collars jobs often obtained using fake/phony work documents. 2 Million foreign nationals have displaced 2 million UE California Citizens. Do you represent out-of work US citizens or 2 million Mexican Nationals who have crossed over USA borders illegally and are now holding down jobs here in California using phony fake work docs.
No other country allows 10-15 million foreign nationals to flood into a country and steal away jobs from American Citizens.
I urge You to vote no on the S744 blanket Amnesty Bill which is bad for the 30 miilion out of work and/ or underemployed suffering US Citizens

2010 letter used when i fought for AZ SB1070. Posted for 2013 bogus immig reform
I applaud Arizonas tough stance on illegal immigration. It comes a bit late but at least that state is facing up to the massive problems of illegals invading across the Arizona border and wreaking havoc on law enforcement. We just witnessed the murder of Arizona rancher Robert Krentz, due to the epidemic of crime and lawlessness from the cartel drug wars spilling over into Arizona. Phoenix has has a epidemic of kidnappings & murders by imported Mexican drug mafias, and border agents are getting shot at.
CA has for too long allowed illegals to roam freely, and freeload on the state's welfare programs thru their anchors. Californians tried to stop this by passing proposition 187 in 1994 but the courts overturned it.
No other country allows foreign nationals to enter thru our open borders so easily as the US does. Here illegals are allowed to run free in the streets, commit massive ID/ doc fraud and SS theft in obtaining jobs, and to engage in wholesale criminal activities such as drug rings, human smuggling, auto insurance fraud, EITC fraud, mortage fraud, ect.
That time has come to and end with US in bad recession/ depression, and official UE at 10 %, real UE at 17%. US citizens demand that the drawbridge be raised and there be a complete moratorium to any more immigration, legal and illegal, till the UE rate dips to under 6%. Obama Adm is deporting at rate of close to 400,000 per year: we need to deport a million a year till 20-30 million UE/underemployed American citizens are put back to work.

Blade Runner LA with a South of Border Twist
Blade runner scenario for LA,
I just watched Blade Runner for umpteeth time. It depicts a futuristic LA , somewhat Far East influenced. The film's artists got much right, but they factored out the impact of the latino invasion of LA. The film needed to add depictions of futuristic space taco wagons, latino bars, latino billboards, and streets filled by Laltino vendors selling churros, pollos, balloons, flowers, mangos ect. The future of LA say 10 years from now, actutally a reality today, is a completely Latinoized city, a city in which Spanish is spoken at street level but the mid-top level Gov bureacracy, PD and politicians are still doing business in English.
As it stands now 70-80% of the cities laboring force is Hispanic. That includes janitors, warehouse workers, shop workers, hotel workers, rest workers, landscape maint, nannies, ect. This huge proletariat population is easily demagouged by the LA politicians and swayed into voting the far left Democrat agenda.
More blade runner depictions of LA,
There will be cutbacks/reduction in services, crime will spike, LA RE continues to fall, economy collapses, unemployment increases, good chance of an inner city race riot. LA is raising fees on everything to make up for it's budget shortfall, and cops will be aggressively ticketing drivers- more Red light cameras to steal $'s from citizens.
LA will be a bad place to reside in next several years unless U are a ghetto punk, welfare sucking illegal, gangbanger, run a business operating in the black market such as salvage yard, a still employed municipal employee able to escape the budget axe, run a mom and pop donut shop or liquor store employing only relatives,or live within the 1 mile-wide coastal ribben fronting Santa Monica Bay.
Also flourishing in bad times will be llegal- alien imported crime syndicate operations such as human and illegal drug smuggling, warehouse looting, pot growing, meth, money laundering, car theft rings, insurance fraud, phony doc mills, all run out of some abandoned gutted REO property in some LA ghetto dump such as Bell, Cudahy, Maywood, SouthGate, Vernon, Hawthorne, Lynwood, Bellflower, Norwalk, Wilmington, Inglewood, Compton, La Puente, Pacoima, San Fernando, Sun Valley, Florence, willowbrook, watts, harbor gateway, boyle hts, lincoln hgts,el sereno, echo park, china town, Pomona, koreatown, pico union
(short list of some of LA's worst ghetto stews).
U will also escape the bad times if U are part of the 2% LA uberweathy in some exclusive cocooned westside enclave such as Pacific Palisades or Brentwood. Don't believe the posters and cam shots of pristine Malibu beaches and hollywood hills art deco palaces- they are less than 1% of the reality of LA which is mostly a begrimed traffic- choked illegal alien- infested trashed out graffitied ghetto-polis.
BTW 30% of LA City/County population is collecting welfare & other direct gov't benefits. LA is largely a third world ghettoized stew similar to other 3rd world bifercated stews as Mexico City, tiijuana &, Rio, and some parts of it resemble haiti, AFTER THE QUAKE.

Compton Becomes 4th California City to Face Bankruptcy
Compton Becomes 4th California City to Face Bankruptcy
I have extensive knowledge of this derelict municipality located at south end of LA city. The tawdry south LA ghettos merge quite seamlessly with the Compton ghettos. Compton is one of the older inner city LA county burgs, as evident by it's abundant 2500-3000 sq ft teeny home lots with equally puny 900-1000 sq ft homes, most put up prior to World War 2, and many as far back as early 20th century.
Drive thru the Compton's inner core along Compton Blvd or Wilmington avenue, and you see endless rows of bland tenement apt blocks, bleak corner mini-malls, storefront churches, barbers, and a slew of liquor stores with locals and ghetto youth hanging out. I worked in this hood in 80's and early 90s and there is no more depressing city in CA. Every shop in Compton has iron-grated windows and wrought-ironwork burglar-proof storefront gratings. The Compton population back in 80s-90's was almost evenly split between Hispanics and blacks but has trended since then into being a densely-packed latino immigrant zone. Hispanics,mostly recent and older immigrants, now account for 65% of Compton's population.
The tiny lots and homes of Compton, abundant in Willowbrook and the area north of Compton Airport, are packed with recently-arrived Hispanic immigrant illegals, as well as older established Hispanic residents. But the cities ruling power structure was long dominated by black politicians, ruling thru nepotism and favoritism, greased by grafts for families and friends of the Compton ruling elite.
COMPTON CRIME STATS:
"Although the U.S. News & World Report does not even list Compton in the "The 11 Most Dangerous Cities" for overall crime rates in the United States,[35] it contrasts the CQ Press, using data from the FBI's annual report of crime statistics "Crime in the United States 2010," ranked Compton as the 8th most dangerous city in the country.[36] Statistics will vary depending on how property crimes and violent crimes are weighted in each statistical survey. See Statistical variability."
(wikipedia).
During the rein of Mayor Omar Bradley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Bradley_(California_politician), the city was a cesspit of vice and corruption. It got so bad that the state of CA put Compton's schools in receivership, and the tiny, grossly corrupt gang-like Compton Police Force was disbanded in 2000 and the city's policing was contracted out to the LA County Sheriffs Department.
I once went into the puny Compton City hall bldg to deliver an item and was able to go direct to the 2nd floor Compton City Attorneys Office without a single security guard checking me. The entire Compton City Hall seemed almost empty and deserted.
COMPTON lies within a dense semi-industrialized hub of south LA County and is astride several major freeways, has direct links to major LA metro rail connections, and is right next to the nationally strategic Alameda Transportation Corridor, which makes Compton's impoverished, corrupt BK status all the more baffling. There are large modern corporate parks along the 91 freeway, which marks Comptons south boundary, and in the Rancho Dominguez Industrial District which adjoins Compton at the southeast.
At the western margin of Compton abutting Gardena and the 110 freeway there is the older somewhat rust-belt sem-industrial district running thru the LA old imdustrial strip/corridor- old shops, factories, processing plants, warehouses. ect
Compton, being centrally located amid a south LA semi-industrail hub district and astride the Alameda corrdor to the east, doesn't lack jobs for it's 100k residents, especially in warehouse work and small workshops & factories. Problem is Compton city administration and civic culture is extremely corrupt. The level of civic corrution in Compton reduces it to a 3rd wld cesspit.
During the nascent RE boom in early- to- mid 2000's LA Times was touting Compton as an emerging LA inner city boomtown, with newly built splashy retail malls & shops along Wilmington Ave/ Santa Fe Avenues, and in Willowbrook . However, when the economy went bust in 2008 Compton's fortunes quicky returned to what they were prior to the 2000 decade, a ragged ghettoized hi- crime zone where blacks and hispanic gangs regularly war against each other.
