I recently asked a friend of long standing, involved in law enforcement in California, how the state's massive immigration looked, in the streets and court rooms, to someone actually there. The following is his answer, edited only to remove identification. It is consistent with what I have seen myself, though a decade ago, and what other friends in other parts of the US report. I have put in bold type parts that seem to me indicators of what we will see in the future.
Fred,
The following are my opinions based mostly on anecdotal evidence--what I've seen and heard in this area (Central California), including things told to me in some cases by deputy district attorneys thoughout this state. I attend frequent state wide conferences wherein we are given week long seminar courses to update our knowledge and to maintain our "continuing education" required to keep our State Bar memberships current. Where my opinion is based on provable facts, I will so note.
The future of Hispanics in California: California will gradually revert to a Mexican/Spanish majority state, thanks both to legal/illegal immigration as well as the higher birth rate amongst that population, particularly in the lower income brackets (this is of course the case with any lower income population, which relates directly to education levels: the higher the education, particularly of women in a population, the lower the birth rate goes).
Politicians in this state are already splitting between Hispanic (meaning mostly Mexican-Americans) and White, with a very few Asian politicians, including Indians.

This is why the Taliban and muslim countries try so hard to keep their women/children uneducated.
Of course, they are doing it here, too, but by taking over the "education" system so that it's an indoctrination system.
Kill welfare/disability/freebies.
DeleteAmen, I'd go back to 'relief' which gives you a smattering amount for a certain period of time if you family can't furnish it.
