Short overview of how the illegal alien invasion begin in LA

Here in LA and SCal the illegal immigrant problem has been with us for 3 decades. It started in the late 70 early 80's and really picked up speed around the time of the first amnesty of 1986. The illegal alien problem was long confined to LA for 1st two decades and only went national at beginning of last decade(2000+). The general population and entire USA long ignored the illegal alien pressure cooker building up in LA and were not aware of the huge amt of scams and frauds pulled by the illegals here. For instance, every illegal who arrived in LA could go to Macarthur park just west of dwtn and get a fake phony green card, and millions did so.

The 'Mexican-ization' of LA has taken almost a third of a century, the first few waves occuring from late in the 70's but really becoming heavy in the 80's and 90's. By now LA region is so heavily latino immigrant that it is almost indistinguishable from any large city in Mexico.
You can go thru large parts of LA such as east San Fernando valley and south LA , drive 10 miles straight and only see latino immigrants and their slums. Huntington park and other cities in the large(200 sq mile) gritty LA River /Alameda corridor are 90 % latino immgrant slumzones.

In my home city of long beach everywhere you go you hear the blare of loudspeakers playing Mex/Latino music, and see Latinos having pinata/ beer parties on their front lawns or porches. The Latino immigrant influence is everywhere and reaches even into the few prosperous middle class LA suburbs . Every city and burg in LA has its latino dense apt tenement slumzone district.

The problems of illegal invasion from south of border have been ongoing for over 30 years and has caused a fundamental tranformation of LA basin into a largely 3rd world ghettoized zone. Anyone who drives all over greater LA can testify to this. This situation will not be remedied anytime soon.

If and when the CA and national welfare spigot runs out due to CA being bankrupt and the fed deficit spending getting out of control there will be harsh measures to cut out welfare to the huge impoverished poplulation in LA, which would include illegals and their anchors, who are a drain on CA's treasury.
