Lots of Mexicans (and other Latinos) I know have assimilated well and are family-oriented. However, most of them have been here for many years or are second & third generation or native-born before CA became a state, and they don't want CA to be overrun with I******s. That's the dirty little secret they won't tell you. The biggest problem in Vista is jaywalkers (recent arrivals from Mexico who haven't kicked that habit). No shortage of them here. And they let their children run out into the streets. If one is hit by a car and k**led there are several more at home to take its place. They'll just have another baby.

We are starting to see more homeless and mentally ill cruising the streets (since they don't like to stay on the sidewalks.) Along with all the other problems Sacramento creates, I am almost ready to leave CA, for part of the year. I was born in Santa Monica and lived in CA most of my life, except when living overseas. Not ready to give up my primary residence but I have been liquidating my properties. I've considered moving to So Dak to establish residency and register my vehicles there. CA is taxing me to death (gas, vehicle, sales, property, income, etc, etc.)

If they eliminate Prop 13 property tax protections, I am out of here. Nevada or Texas. However, too many Californians have already moved to these places and are turning them into another CA. It's going to be on the b****t to change commercial property taxes even though the state Constitution has always treated commercial and residential property the same. If it passes, it's only a matter of time before eliminating Prop 13 on all property. The politicos in Sacramento have been incrementally dismantling it since the day it passed.

One thing we learned in the 1980s, in So Cal and particularly San Diego, is that if you build a border barrier it reduces the influx of i******s tremendously. It pushed the gate jumpers further east to the deserts where then the do-gooders started supplying them with water stations to prevent deaths from dehydration. Along with sanctuary cities popping up everywhere, and the Governor extending free healthcare, school, higher education, welfare, driver's licenses, working under-the-table so as to not declare income (the underground economy is now 40% in L.A Country), I see families who do not get married so the wife can get aid from WIC (Women, Infants, and Children), and the husband drives a new pick-up truck. Now we have over 1/4th of all the homeless in the USA thanks to the climate and social programs that give them freebies. The kids have little incentive to learn English since the parents don't speak English and the schools cater to their Spanish language with social promotions from one grade to the next. We are doing them a real disservice as they can't prepare for the real world and many will become dependent on the state. But they all v**e the Democrat ticket.
Yup, CA is becoming another turd-world country. But you already knew that.

More people are emigrating from than are immigrating too CA. When the Tech Millionaires and Hollywood Illuminati realize they are the only ones left to pay for all the services CA provides, I hope to be long gone. I have no desire to live in Venezuela Norte. I could go on and on. As CA goes, so goes the nation.

I can't watch TV news without my blood pressure going through the roof. And that is considering I don't have satellite nor cable TV on which to watch CNN, MSNBC or FOX. I also don't carry a smart-phone so as to not be plugged in constantly. I go out in my RV for some peace and solitude to escape the media onslaught from the nutty world so that I can deal face-to-face with real people rather than having hundreds of friends on social media. I don't use Facebook or Twitter. My one vice is too much OPP and even this is wearing thin listening to the morons who spout nonsense and show nothing to back it up with, i.e. Peter S, AF1, Kevyn, Rumitoid (sometimes), and Lonewolf, just to name just a few.
