exspensive homes i mean to get something desent it like a million. and because it has been established as high prices plus like celberities. then LOS ANGELAS smog, partical pollution, the worst. worst traffic, a huge illegal population
After decades of mass immigration, California is no longer able to absorb a constant flow of immigrants and still maintain a decent quality of life for its residents. Currently, one in ten Americans is foreign-born, with about a third of the foreign-born population arriving in the past 10 years.
Since California receives about 25 percent of the nation’s flood of immigration, our state’s numbers look a little different, with an astounding one in four Californians being foreign-born. In addition, nearly all of our state’s growth is now due to immigration and higher-than-average fertility rates among new immigrants.
If current legal and illegal immigration trends continue, an estimated 60 million people will call California home by 2050.
There are an estimated 12 to 20 million illegal aliens currently residing in our country.
All of the 9/11 hijackers were in the United States legally, having entered on temporary visas.
California is home to at least 3.2 million of those illegal aliens.
Illegal immigrants who take low-paying jobs don’t pay enough in income taxes, if they pay at all, to reimburse taxpayers the $5,000/per student annual cost of educating their children.
Illegal immigration costs the taxpayers of California $10.5 billion a year for education, health care, and incarceration.
Illegal aliens constitute 15 percent of our state’s school population.
Between 1993 and 2003, 60 California hospitals were forced to close from the financial burden of providing free health care for uninsured illegal aliens.
Illegal immigrants who enroll in the University of California system are charged in-state tuition.
Each year the Border Patrol makes more than a million apprehensions of persons unlawfully crossing U.S. borders to work and to receive public assistance, often with the aid of fraudulent documents. Such entry is a misdemeanor, and if repeated becomes punishable as a felony.
Illegal aliens from Central America have been allowed to remain in the United States so long that their homelands have grown dependent on the billions of dollars a year they send home in remittances.
300,000 people who have been ordered deported are still in the country because their deportation orders were not enforced.
Census Bureau estimates say 115,000 people from terrorist-sponsoring Middle Eastern nations live in the United States illegally.
Some illegal aliens from terrorist nations pay as much as $50,000 each to be smuggled into our country.
Approximately one-third of all foreign-born U.S. residents are illegal aliens.
Over half of all Mexicans living in the United States are here illegally.
In the last decade, 80 to 85 percent of the flow of Mexican immigrants has been illegal.
A strategy of attrition through enforcement could reduce the illegal population by as many as 1.5 million illegal aliens each year. Currently about 183,000 illegal aliens per year depart without the intervention of immigration officials, according to DHS statistics.
IT says if u read most of californias population increase is do to illegals. who suck the **** of of tax payers and watever. for the poor californians makeing it so exspensive./

high prices and shitty traffic i think of one of the shitty citys with some exseptions. in a nice state but know shitty and over run with illegals problems legal stuff. high pollution and crime. and just to many damn liberals and crappy health care, and crappy school systems

We need real heroes these days, not made up ones. We need heroes who keep their hero status not just in the trenches of days gone by but as a life pattern. We need heroes who are women as well as men so our children have models of both sexes doing jobs that aren’t stereotyped as male-female. I have never met Tammy Duckworth nor do I live in Illinois where she is presently running for her Congress, but I admire her and therefore am compelled by that admiration to write this article. That’s because Duckworth is the kind of model for women in politics that we need, and in fact a model for every politician today.
The title of hero has been earned by Duckworth many times. After graduating from college and looking forward to eventually receiving a Ph.D., Duckworth decided to join the military and serve her country that way. As an officer she was sent to Iraq where she was a helicopter pilot. On one of her missions in 2004 a grenade propelled by an enemy rocket hit the helicopter where she was the co-pilot. Duckworth lost both her legs in the resulting explosion. She also lost much of the use of one of her arms. For this heroism Duckwroth received both the Purple Heart and Air Medals among a number of decorations.
Following a long period of rehabilitation, Duckworth left the military service but not her dedication to her comrades, other veterans. She started a career in public service, first as an advocate for other veterans and now as the Director of Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs. In her post as Veterans Affairs Director Duckworth helped design and expand unique programs to serve veterans in mental health, employment, housing and health care.
Still that isn’t all there is to Tammy, although the reader can discern that what I’ve written already shows someone of high integrity and ability. Still Tammy is more than the sum of all this. She serves as a model for others in other ways. She speaks fluent Thai as well as Indonesian and has researched and published articles about environmental issues. In spite of the fact that Duckworth qualifies for total disability under VA guidelines, she has refused medical retirement in order to develop her life to working in public service. She has also become quite an athlete, runs marathons, does scuba diving, swims regularly and keeps a good sense of humor and upbeat attitude in the face of phantom pain, which she continues to experience, and disabilities. Rather than despairing about her condition she has embraced life and her future.
Duckworth considers the war in Iraq, and in that sense has the same concerns as Barack Obama. She has testified about veterans and the war before Congress and also spoke at the Democratic Convention about her concerns on the issues.
Today Duckworth is running for Congress opposing heavily Republican-financed Peter Roskam, a conservative Republican. Max Clelland, a double amputee of the Vietnam War, was defeated by Republicans in the State of Georgia who associated him with terrorism. The nation and the State of Illinois now has an opportunity to redeem that terrible deed by electing Tammy Duckworth as testimony to the change in how we treat those who take the responsibility to defend this country, even if they disagree with some of its missions.
These days when the patriotism of good people is challenged, it’s important to have people who rise above the petty issues and declare themselves loving human beings who embrace life itself, not just the concerns of a single country. Tammy Duckworth is evidence that an individual can meet awful challenges and be victorious. That’s the kind of hero we need these days, and let’s continue to honor these people among us and let no one ever question their dedication to duty.
Duckworth is the kind of young woman we should all want in politics and for our young people. She can’t stand up and smile on two strong legs into the camera like Sarah Palin, but she speaks in loving tones with an open heart about new beginnings and looks to a second chance today and tomorrow. That’s a good message for all of us who worry about our finances, our futures, our physical problems and our needs. Duckworth is truly a model for all of us, men, women, politicians, citizens and the children today and in the future.
