California shows results of illegal aliens
Date published: 4/1/2007
This in response to the letter to the editor from Alicia Payne ["Legislators, we want to see how you vote on illegals," March 23]. Ms. Payne ended her letter with a phrase that formerly made my blood boil--"Do we want Virginia to become another California?" Our immigration-driven population grew by 4 million in the past decade, and at current rates will increase by 6 million at the next census. In spite of that population increase, more than 80 emergency rooms closed because California's prisons are bursting at the seams, with the nation's highest recidivism rate. We have the highest teen-birth and school-dropout rates. Of our 6.5 million students, 2.5 million are in Limited English Proficient classes (California has one third of the nation's total LEP students). Even though we passed a citizen initiative making English the state's language, our out-of-control legislators have held debates in the capitol in Spanish. The FBI estimates that half of the more than 100,000 gangsters in Los Angeles County are deportable illegal aliens who outgun the police. Well, you get the idea why I no longer take offense when people use my once-Golden State as the bad example that your state will follow into chaos if you allow the corrupting system of illegal immigration to become more established in your state than it already may be.

I agree with the writer. I have seen how it can be. You must be very careful driving on I-5 near the Tijuana border crossing, Illegals are always dodging ILLEGALLY across 65mph traffic and jumping the median. They could be easily rounded up --but they are not. But, if I hit one ..I am fast tracked to jaiil..hmmm. Daily, illegals are standing on street corners & at Home Centers waiting for someone to pick them up for a one day job.Again, very easy to round up. Why don't we? We don't want to be another CA
