14th June, 1846 -- the day that the Bear Flag Revolt erupted in
California. Twenty-four days later the California Republic was annexed
to the United States. By any rational standards the territory changed
hands. To some people south of the border facts can't get in the way of
their opinions. So it has become their right to live in the State of California. We owe them
a livelihood. We are prosperous, they are poor. The poverty of Mexico
is rather ironic when contrasted to California's prosperity considering
that Mexico is far wealthier in natural resources and land. While I'm
sure most people's hearts go out to people living in poverty; I'm
equally sure that we don't want them to make their problems ours.
The problems of Mexico have been brought to California by illegal
immigration. We, the people of California have done all that we could.
We passed prop 187, we made English our official language, our governor
-- Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger (Black Plow, to those curious of the
meaning of his name) has vetoed pro-illegal alien bills. Now it
is the duty of the Federal Government of the United States to do its
share. Our former governor, Ronald Reagan, did the best he could.
He allowed amnesty while grating his teeth. No better could be expected
from a Jackass-controlled congress. Twenty years later El Presidente
Jorge Arbusto De Los Mexicanos norte del Rio Grande (President George
Bush of the Mexicans North of the Rio Grande) decided he would go all
gung ho for illegal aliens. In that 20-tear-span California, once a
reliable Red State became a reliable Blue State as the result of heavy
immigration legal and not as well as higher levels of liberals from the
other 49 states moving in.
The future is uncertain for California. Maybe eventually someone with
moral rectitude will take over the presidency of the United States and
do something useful. Maybe the Supreme Court will rule that only
children of born of citizens
in the USA are entitled to citizenship. Or, maybe, people will decide
enough is enough and reclaim their country by peaceful means. I.e. move
into a state and outbid the illegals for everything. Progress is being
made by states and munincipalities. Now hopefully the Federal
Government will do SOMETHING.
Next time:
Israel: labour and immigration lessons.
How Israel built an effective security wall and still had their agricultural sector not get ruined.
AKA: Israelis doing jobs that Israelis simply won't do.
