SoCalSteve, Lady Liberty never agreed to wave in millions and millions of unscreened foreign illegal indigents and all the problems they bring with them. If you want to learn about the history of immigration in America I suggest you fly to NYC and take a tour of Ellis Island. You will learn that America has always been SELECTIVE about who we accept as prospective citizens from foreign nations. Back then, foreigners didn&#039;t sneak into the country illegally and then ask for citizenship after the commission of their crimes. And many foreigners were TURNED AWAY at Ellis Island because they did not meet our standards. Oh, and in 2014 America is a completely different nation than we were in the early 1900&#039;s. We don&#039;t have enough jobs for our own citizens with about 30 million Americans either unemployed or underemployed in a workforce of about 90 million. We can&#039;t take care of our own people, let alone millions of illegal indigents that are scorned and unwanted by their own countries. So stop with the Lady Liberty BS, okay? It just makes you appear uneducated.]]></description>

Bill - Sorry. I&#039;m unelectable. I do not belong to either major party in the one-party system, nor would I sell my votes for bribes. Therefore, under the current system I would be like a fish out of water. 

However, if you want to write-in &#039;LetitCollapse&#039; for governor or any other elected office of your choosing you have that right as an American citizen.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Queeg is not alone (raises hand).
Letit is all over this reality as well.

Are you two running for office?  I&#039;ll vote this time.  ;-)

No more immigration of any kind for at least a decade.  No more tax increases that are not audited every three months to ensure the taxes we already pay are being used accordingly.  Hey, I have to pay an account to reconcile my stuff every three months, why isn&#039;t there mandatory reconciling going on in Sacto?

Next!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Right now the bean counters say that 30% of the workers in Los Angeles are getting paid cash off the books! lol. And you know those people are getting public assistance! lol. Raise the minimum wage to $15/hr and watch that 30% figure go to 50% or higher! lol. How many roofers or dry wallers do you think work &#039;on the books&#039; in California? Probably 20%. Hell, how could an honest contractor who pays his help a living wage and all the required labor related add-on&#039;s compete against the 80% of contractors who pay &#039;off the books&#039;? It would be IMPOSSIBLE to submit a competitive bid for a job with the higher labor expenses! 
None of this will end well. We have turned into a 3rd world social banana republic. lol. Nobody plays by the rules anymore. So much for civilization. Wait until the next crash hits and the EBT cards don&#039;t work at the stores! lol. That&#039;s when all hell breaks loose!!! Annie grab your gun!!! lol. :)]]></description>
