My virulent fanatical opposition to all immigration reform dates back to the late 90's. Before that i was heavily engaged with the los Angeles immigrant community from my work contacts. I have lived and worked in LA last 3 decades, when the flood-tide of illegal immigration from south of border into LA heavily impacted this City. Back then, during the heady boom-boom days of 80's-90's, no one gave a rats ass about illegal immigration here in LA, as illegal immigration had not yet exploded all over US, being confined here in LA up till end of last century. But what i saw during that period in LA-the gazillion scams & frauds committed by illegals- would make anyone's head explode. There is no fraud or scam committed by illegals which i had not witnessed, or received first hand accounts of.
All you need to know to realize the extent of the scamming by illegals is that during 80's-90's every illegal arriving in LA could go to MacArthur Park, less than one mile west of DWTN LA, and get fake work authorization cards(green cards), fake/stolen SS cards,and any other fabricated Fake ID's.
How many did this i cannot say but it must be in the millions. LA was the great incubator for illegals before they broke out and spread all over US at beginning of this century/millinium. LA has and will always be the epicenter and boiling point in any illegal immigration battle. It is the great illegal-alien core city of USA, where they cannot be touched. No LA politician nor police agency will touch it here. Even if Villarigosa leaves, any new mayor/newly-elected LA politician, no matter what political stripe, will be in the pockets of the illegal alien lobby forces. Not just in LA but all across CA every city council with exception of a handful in the conservative OC cringes at the thought of fighting the illegal alien activists who swarm the local city halls, backed by the ACLU and labor unions.
In CA, we may yet see the public turn decisively against illegals but it will take a massive revolutionary shift/sea change in public opinion, which i do not foresee anytime soon.
