I could go on but lets not. No Californians here.


Yes, an abundance of Mexican workers is certainly bad in a state with so much farmland. I'm sure Sonoma, and CA in general, would be better off without them, just like Georgia.

I can't speak for Georgia, but we have gotten well beyond happy singing farm workers tending the grapes.

The fact of the matter is that when you go 2.3 Mexican generations for every 1 white, black or Asian the social effect is overwhelming. Take the Construction Industry out of equation in California and you are left with an enormous under-unemployed class that contribute next to nothing to the GDP (other than tacos) while crushing public schools and social services. Billions of untaxed dollars flow across the border back to Mexico every year and what do we get in return other than tacos? Generation after generation of red vs blue machismo bullshit.

I've lived in California all my life son and I know we seen better days in this state.

So funny. Well, almost.

Way back when, times were tough, and Americans held it against the poor Irish pouring into New York.

Then the Irish assimilated, in fact became a major component of the power structure, times were tough, and Americans held it against the poor Italians pouring into New York.

Now the Italians have followed in the footsteps of the Irish, have fully assimilated. Times are tough, and Californians hold it against the poor Mexican immigrants.

A century ago, times were tough and San Franciscans held it against the poor Chinese flooding the city. Can anyone imagine SF without the Chinese nowadays?

Jesus ******* Christ.

Anyhow, put Shademore in 1930s Germany, and I think you see where his argument is heading.

For the record, lifelong San Francisco resident, and screen name be damned, I'm Italian.
