Donovan,
I was a little surprised to see you advocating
the old "America--Love It of Leave It" philosophy. Is
it a retro thing? That WAS big in the late '60s and
early '70s I understand. 

Oh well. 

I also disagree that Pat is attacking a weaker
group of people. The US Government as run by both Bush
and one Clinton administration can hardly be
considered weaker than him. 

And that's who he blames this mess on the
government. He's not blaming the illegal immigrants
themselves---just the governmental policies that
caused this mess. That's clear from the column.

It's amazing when people who are breaking the law
by coming into this country suddenly have access to
free health care, education, food etc. etc. 
Is this a reward for their crime? 
Many illegal immigrants have visited informational
offices in their own countries that show them in
advance exactly which offices to go to in order to
take advantage of all the freebies. Who can blame them
for coming here and taking advantage of it? I'm sure
most of us would. 
But can you imagine the effect on Medi-Cal, the
state education budget, law enforcement and etc.?
And what about the effect of the people of
California's faith in the democratic process when they
are not allowed to stop these goings on as much as
they try?

You're absolutely correct that there are other
factors than the one mentioned in the column(9/11 etc)
that have had an effect on consumer spending. But its
undeniable that Free Trade and unrestricted/illegal
immigration have had a huge negative effect on
California and many other states. The effect on wages
isn't confined to the agricultural sector at all. 

In CA and many other states a huge percentage of
construction labor is done by illegal immigrants. That
used to be a field where people could make a good
living in this country. They could start as laborers,
learn skills and work their way up, but that's denied
to American workers in many areas. This is but one
example of the suppression of wages by illegal
immigration. And of course one of the major negative
effects is, as mentioned above, on the social service,
education, law enforcement, and penal budgets. 

And if you don't believe that unfair and so-called
"Free Trade" hasn't had a devastating impact on the
areas mentioned in the article, you're simply ignoring
reality. 
And here's a question for you. How much
immigration would be enough?
There are currently 1 million LEGAL immigrants
allowed into this country every year. To put that in
perspective, the 2002 Census estimate for the
population of Seattle was 570,000. So, in other words
LEGAL IMMIGRATION--each year, every year--equals very
TWICE the city of Seattle. EVERY YEAR! Been to Seattle
lately? Pretty crowded place, huh?

Of course no one knows how many ILLEGAL immigrants
come in each year. I've seen estimates ranging from
2-5 million illegals per year. Some stay and some come
back and forth. In any event there are millions upon
millions of illegals here in the country right now. 

And anyone questioning immigration and illegal
immigration is xenophobic? 
I don't think so. No, it's nothing like a phobia.
It's a simple realization that this country can't
keep going on supporting this huge influx of people
indefinitely. California is finding that out for all
to see.

Tim,

Oh, he is not my cup of tea alright. 


Pat Hitler, I mean, Pat Buchanan, (why I mix the two
up I don't know) is only correct about three things.
He is right it not the fault of Gov. Davis, he is
right it is the fault of US Government, and the fault
of Immigration.





But he has the wrong immigration of people mixed up.
It was not the influx of Mexicans that is the problem.
It is the fault of an influx of Europeans. Ya see
m'kay, Mexicans and Native American Indians had
California for about 10-16,000 years before the
immigrants of Europeans came over. The land and
economy was just fine for that amount of time. Then
other people came into California, and less than 150
years of occupation the soil, environment, and economy
has gone to sh*t. Now, I tend to think the Mexicans
and Indians have a better track record. I am willing
to bet that if the United States withdrew from
California for another 10,000-16,000 years it would
recover nicely and be ready for another 150 years of
European abuse and raping of the land. 




Now I know that the Mexicans had the audacity to do
something like be born in California before Europeans
even knew it existed, but I don't think they are the
ones responsible for the failing of the United States
and California economy. Mexicans picking oranges in
some farmer's field making $2 an hour did not fly two
airplanes into the World Trade Center. They didn't
forge and fake the income earnings of Enron, Adelphia,
and a whole host of others. They didn't engage in
inside trading like Martha Steward. They didn't empty
the Colorado River and drain California of it's
electricity, they didn't write the budget or tax code.
They didn't even withdraw their millions from the
stock market or stop supporting the airline industry.




What Buchanan is doing is attempting to attack a
weaker group of people that have little or no
political ability to withstand such attacks. It is
easy to blame the little poor guy for the mistakes of
the rich, powerful, greedy, and corrupt. 




Pat Buchanan is the biggest causation and beneficiary
of immigration and free trade. It was the
administration that he was a part of, Reagan's, that
allowed for the largest immigration of Hispanics in
the history of the United States. It was also he that
was able to get a replacement value in his heart (yes,
I know he does have actually have one) because of free
trade policies with Japan. 




If this man has such a problem with immigration, he
should move back to Europe, if he has a problem with
free trade, he should give back his heart, after all,
he hasn't even used it in a while anyway.

 refused
 to appeal the overturning<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; of 187 to the Supreme Court. Hispanic voters <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; rewarded him in 2002, and California state and<BR>local <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt;budgets continued to hemorrhage. <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; By the 1990s, an exodus of taxpayers had begun.<BR>Fed <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; up with being fleeced to subsidize illegal aliens,<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt;Californians began leaving for Nevada, Idaho, <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; Arizona and Colorado. Two million native-born <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; Californians left the state in <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; the 1990s, as immigrants, legal and illegal, sent <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; poverty rates soaring in Los Angeles, Riverside,<BR>San <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt;Bernardino and Orange counties. <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; This, then, is what killed California: <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; First, open border!
 s. By
 failing to enforce our <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; immigration laws, America now hosts 31 million<BR>legal <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt;immigrants and their children and 10 million <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; illegals, most of them net tax consumers.<BR>California <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; got the lion's share. <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; Second, global free trade and the trade deficits<BR>it <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; produced, now running at an annual rate of $562 <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt;billion in May. This has killed millions of <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; manufacturing jobs, as thousands of companies<BR>closed <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; factories here and shifted plants to Mexico, Asia <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt;and China. <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; The Third Worldization of California is now far <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; advanced. Yet those responsible, Bush Republicans<BR>as <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt;well as Clinton Democrats, still cannot <BR><BR><BR>!
 <BR>&gt;
 &gt; see what they have done to our country. <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; But what is happening in California is not<BR>confined <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; to California. It is happening across America. <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt;Unless we elect a president who will enforce our <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; immigration laws and defend our borders, unless we<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; find a Congress that will jettison the free-trade <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt;madness that is denuding America of her<BR>manufacturing, <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; what has happened to California will happen here. <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; President Bush appears oblivious to it all - but <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; then, so did his father <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; before him. <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; &gt; <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt; <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt;__________________________________ <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt;Do you Yahoo!? <BR><BR><BR><BR>&gt;Yahoo!
