    Why are you so worried about those coming over the border? I think most of the so called anchor babies, came from those who stepped off the boat in San Francisco. Most of them speak English fairly well, so maybe they aren't as noticed.

    Steve Jobs was quite liberal. California still has an economy that is sixth largest in the world. The conservatives fled California, because the earth quaked, the earth opened up, and hell sucked their churches back to hell, where they came from.

    The West Coast is nice, because there are so far less religious crazies about, and the ones that are, are never elected to office.

    Yes, nothing can be done except to spin off CA before it takes down the rest of the country in its wake.

    High taxes and an oppressive government for starters which is leading to a mass exodus of working class families and small businesses.

    Exactly. Fill the state with socialist and poor uneducated people that depend on social programs and democrats win elections.

    High taxes are what they are. They aren't destroying CA. The population growth of CA is still around 6%. People come and go. At this point other states are much cheaper, so I can see why people would leave. The cost of living is high due to high demand.

    Reagan admitted amnesty was his biggest mistake. We need to learn from that and not repeat history.

    And the Republicans are all paralyzed? They just lay around in their beds all day and whine? Blah, blah, blah ... The Republicans were out of step with the majority of California voters. They called the environment a waste of time and they belittled the tech industry that was driving the economy. So the the citizens of the state held up a giant middle finger to the Republicans. But to you the only explanation is "foreign invaders". Hell, dude, you could take every person out of California who hadn't lived there at least one generation and Republicans would still get their asses whipped - because they don't communicate to Californians.

    The middle class and small businesses are leaving California for red states with low taxes and a better quality of life. Soon California will be the very rich and the very poor like all third world socialist countries.

    Sob, sob ... find yourself a safe place. California votes Democrat because their number one concern is the environment and healthcare ... two items the Republicans have said, "f*** you, voters. We're not going to let the environment get in the way of profits ...". So quit whining about "Johnny not playing fair" and put on your big boy boots and put together a program the Californians care about.

    California was solidly republican until Californians Latino population boomed and that's why conservatives want a closed border and why democrats want an open border with another round of amnesty along with DACA. The more poor uneducated unskilled immigrants from Mexico and points south they can get into the country the more elections democrats will win.

    not sure if anyone realizes this, but more than half of those in the state under 18 are now Latino.

    Go on a dating site and set the age range to 18-25 if you're having trouble believing this.

    anyone who thinks this came about through legal immigration is deluded

    I have to laugh at Californians so called concern for the environment as they sit in bumper to bumper traffic on eight lane freeways.

    Are you saying the environment and healthcare are not important to illegal aliens?

    I think the DNC depends on illegal aliens and criminals in every election

    Whaaaa! Whaaaa! Holy crap. The biggest Democrat vote blocks are coming from tech industry and higher educated Silicon Valley types. You just aren't willing to quit blubbering long enough to realize that it's the Republican disregard for the environment and healthcare that turns off voters.

    What evidence do you have that middle class people and small businesses are leaving CA? In particular for Red States? Economic growth in CA is strong. CA leads the nation in new business creation. Patent creation. Access to venture capital. I could go on.

    Whaaa! Whaaa! Mommy, the illegal aliens (accounting for .000001% of the actual vote) are stealing the elections! Mommy! Mommy!
