Food Stamps in California. *only non-rude answers please*? What are the qualifications to be able to recieve food stamps in California? I am moving there and I think that I may be eligible. Thanks And a few other details: I have a JOB! I work full time AND part time AND I am a college student FULL TIME and in MY state I qualify for them if I am living on my own. So don't be a jerk and tell me to get a freakin job. I am one of those people WORKING their way thru college. Sorry if I was just looking for a little help. Ya know sometimes it is just a little difficult to make ends meet! ALSO I don't get free college grants. I didn't qualify thanks to my father and his making too much money. But since I am under 24 years old, I still have to put my parents on my FAFSA therefore the government thinks that my parents are helping pay for my college. WHICH THEY AREN'T! But for some odd reason they still get to claim me on their taxes. The point is, I would like to know the qualifications for food stamps in California. Thank you!!

Is the government of Mexico aiding the illegal and terror immigrants that come here? The government figures showed that aobut 800,000 were picked up by our border people. Of these 1 in 7 were from a terror sponsoring country or aobut 120,000.First does this mean that of the 15 million here, that 14% of them are from terror sponsoring states? Sencond thing i hear on news and here is that mexico will not let anyone immigrant to their country unless they have a job waiting. If this is so how can a) th epeople from terror places get there as they would have to fly there and b) the hordes coming up from South America have to cross Mexican territory. if a yeahoo like me from Bodunk can figure this out why haven't present and past presidents and Homeland Security figured this out. California shows how just a few terrorist could start a major deal, and as most power plants are only protected by a fence, well it wouldn't take much to throw a monkey wrench in the works.

Is California going to outsource its porn-jobs to China? I've just read a news article which says that Arnold Schwarzenegger and his government in California is trying to impose a 25% tax on the Adult Entertainment Industry in California. And all the porn-stars there are protesting that with this kind of a tax. It would be cheaper for them to fly to Budapest and shoot their dirty pictures there than in California. But with all the outsourcing of jobs going to China, India, and other places. I wonder if the US porn companies will simply outsource their porn-jobs to China and avoid paying the huge taxes in California? Are US porn stars going to end up homeless and standing in line to eat at soup kitchens? Here is the article: http://www.reuters.com/article/industryNews/idUSN1232562620080512?pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=0

I need some help with some political questions for the state of California...?

Is it fair for Senator Watson of California to ask that funding for Cherokees but cut off? She claims to be a descendant of Pocahontas! If this happens they will lose about 300 million dollars that is spent on housing, education, elderly care, jobs and much more? This is in Oklahoma.

Why are health care workers so opposed to the government increasing their numbers? In California the powerful Health Care Professionals Association (nurses) has endorsed a socialized medicine package making its way through our left minded legislation and probably to be vetoed by Arnold. They oppose Arnold's demand that State Universities and Colleges increase their programs to produce more health care professionals. People want jobs, these jobs pay good, and the schools that educate people to be nurses and health care workers are flooded and booked up. Their wages go up, up and up. A good solution is to increase the supply of these working professionals. Why should we let them stop us from increasing their numbers?

Would you quit your job if the Government gave you free health care? I currently have a fairly good paying job in the space industry. I continue to work this job because I get health care.

Is the economy that bad right now in Orange County, California? I am wondering if the economy is very bad I am not able to obtain a job (for the past 45 days) or my past temporary assignment supervisory is bad mouthing me. I didn't do anything wrong, and I had no complaint with the last job. I actually enjoyed working for them, and I was sad that was my last job. I knew it was a temporary assignment. I do need feedback from others within Southern California area. I do have a dual Bachelors, and I had three temporary assignments within the past year and half, no long term yet. Every interview I had, I was told that they have between 30 to 50 other applicants. Every other employment agencies told me to go to other agencies to continue looking for jobs. Nothing seems to open up. I was very surprise because last time I was without a job for more than a week was during the 9/11, then I took a permanent government job, until I had to take an emergency leave.

Why Keynsian stimulus did not work for California? The state of of California practiced "stimulus" for a decade.

Instead the state of California became bankrupt on Feb 1st, unemployment is currently 9.5%, and growing.

Why do libbers want to go after the oil companies? They makes less than the Federal Government and they bear all the expense of exploration, drilling, transportation, etc Why can't we drill in ANWAR? California? The Gulf (the Chinese are)? Why are we beholden to a few whack jobs who want Americans to live in the dark, grow our own food and walk everywhere we go?

Any California mom-and-pop shops have an opinion about this? http://realestate.yahoo.com/promo/worst-cities-for-jobs.html;_ylc=X3oDMTFpNWtldTZkBF9TAzI3MTYxNDkEX3MDOTc2MjA0NjUEc2VjA2ZwLXRvZGF5BHNsawN3b3JzdC1qb2Jz The last half is about California, its inept government, and its regulatory fascism. Personally, I think it's spot on...

Immigration into California? I live in Los Angeles, California and I am worried about the number of people from New York living in California. They are taking our jobs. Do you think the Californian economy will improve if the American government put borders around California so that Americans from other states cannot get into California? Why must someone bring up illegal immigration when I am talking about legal immigration? Whether it is legal or illegal is not the issue. What is the issue is the idea of non-Californians stealing jobs and what effect this has on the economy.

How does a worker ensure he gets a meal period and avoids retaliation from his/her employer for complaining? I have worked for at least three employers over the past 6 years [California's Loeb & Loeb, SulmeyerKupetz, Charlston Revich & Chamberlin] who did not provide me meal periods. One worker I saw complain to government agencies and even file a lawsuit without a lawyer over 26 missed meal periods only to incur a $19,000 judgment against him for complaining. I myself was terminated from three jobs after complaining. Government agencies and courts most times appear to give approval to employers to deny meal periods and retaliate against those who complain. Most workers cannot afford a lawyer at $500 per hour. Quitting most times is not an option. How in a co called civilized nation do we stop this from happening, and why are so many workers being blatantly denied their meal periods?

Can You Believe This Cheap Mexican airlines are taking Mexican right to our border for illegal immigration? MEXICALI, Mexico - Among travelers, it's jokingly known as Aeromigrante - Migrant Air. New discount airlines in Mexico are doing a brisk business shuttling migrants to the U.S. border, turning what was once a days-long trek into an easy hop for legions of workers, both legal and illegal. "It's much more comfortable than the bus and about the same price," said Leopoldo Torres, 37, of Mexico City, as he stretched his legs aboard Volaris Flight 190 to the border city of He and a traveling companion, Julio Menéndez, paid $118 each for the three-hour flight. They planned to cross into the United States illegally through the California desert. Such migrants have become bread-and-butter customers for airlines Volaris, Avolar, Alma, Viva Aerobus, Interjet and Click, all of which have started up in the past two years. Older carriers such as Aero California and Aviacsa have cut their own prices to compete. "The most productive routes we have are cities where you have those passengers who are traveling with the idea of the American Dream," said Luis Ceceña, a spokesman for Avolar. About 70 percent of Avolar's passengers are migrants, he said. For some airlines like Avolar, the emphasis on migrant travel was a conscious decision, with company officials structuring their routes and fares around migrants' needs, he said. For others, it was simply a side effect of low prices, which have opened up air travel to millions of poorer Mexicans. The airlines say they treat migrants like any other passengers. The Mexican government has promised to try to slow emigration by creating jobs in Mexico. But by law, Mexican authorities and companies cannot impede the free travel of their fellow citizens, even if they suspect they are going to cross the U.S. border illegally. Heading for the desert Travelers planning to cross illegally are easy to spot. At the Hermosillo airport, a major crossroads for migrants headed to the Arizona desert, they are the men traveling in groups of three and four, wearing new sneakers or hiking boots and carrying nothing but backpacks. "Altar! Naco! Nogales!" taxi dispatcher Javier Montaño shouted outside the airport as he directed travelers to vans headed to the main staging grounds for illegal border crossers. Because of the increased traffic, Mexican immigration agents now check the IDs of all arriving passengers, even on domestic flights, to try to catch Central American migrants headed to the border. In Hermosillo, federal police conduct spot checks on the vans before they leave the airport. "By law, we can't stop the Mexican (migrants)," police Officer Carlos Zequera Arias said. "But the Central Americans are starting to get on these flights, too." Falling prices Until the flood of discount airlines began in 2005, air travel in Mexico was too expensive for most poor Mexicans. A one-way flight from central Mexico to Tijuana ran $300 or more on the country's two flag carriers, Aeromexico and Mexicana. For most migrants, getting to the border meant days of travel on long-distance buses - or for the very poor, a harrowing and illegal ride on Mexico's railways while clinging to a freight car. The discount airlines cut costs by copying the business model of U.S. carrier Southwest Airlines. They fly out of smaller airports, make several stops on the same trip, bypass travel-agent fees by selling directly to customers, and concentrate on a few high-volume routes instead of a hub-and-spoke system. Typical fares to Tijuana from Toluca, just east of Mexico City, are now around $150 on the discount airlines. That has opened up air travel to millions of new customers, said José Calderoni, marketing director for Volaris. About one-third of the airline's passengers have never flown before, he said. Overall, the number of Mexicans flying has jumped 36 percent since 2004. About 13.4 million people took domestic flights from January to June, according to Mexico's Institute of Statistics, Geography and Information Processing. The discount airlines have been adding planes and routes at a breakneck pace. Avolar has grown from one jetliner and three destinations to nine with 16 destinations. Viva Aerobus has 21 destinations and plans to double its fleet to 10 jets from five. Interjet has nine planes and says it will order 20 more. Alma has 15 regional jets and 25 destinations, Volaris has 12 planes and 17 destinations, while Click has 26 destinations with 18 planes and six on order.

Is the computer/ IT field (high paying jobs) coming to a hault? My cousin has been asking for some career advice and was thinking of going into the IT field because of the high pay. I know that in some areas of California, the IT people aren't demanding the high salaries that they once were. It seems now that there are so many IT people and not as many government contracts and projects because things that needed done were already done. Friends working for contractors are having difficulty finding jobs that paid as much as their last contracts. Is this happening everywhere? I'm not in the IT field but have many friends who are and from what I hear... this doesn't seem to be the big money maker anymore.

What do you think of the Mexican illegal immigrants? Honestly, what do you think? I have nothing against the Mexican people. I'm half. Yes, they do take jobs, which leaves less for the people in California and other states - but really don't they want to live? What life do they have in Mexico? Wouldn't you move too - if you were in their place? Death or be an illegal? Surely if we tried we could help their government...

Running away to California? I am planning on taking a greyhound bus to either California or Toronto in 2 days with only my clothes and around 600$ to start a new life. Whats my survival rate ? Either I do this or kill myself, and I really wanna live. Are there government places in cali san francisco area that can help me find a job and settle? It would probably be even harder in Toronto since I don't even have a permit to work in canada. Please give me your advice guys =(

How can I get hired as a proposal writer? I am an editor right now but I want to get into the more lucrative area of proposal writing for government and other contracts. Not that interested in nonprofit grant writing. I live in Southern California, where there are a lot of military contractors and a decent amount of high-tech firms. I won't relocate. My bachelor's degree is in journalism with a minor in engineering. I have been working for news organizations for the last 2 /12 years or so. I don't really know anyone who would hire a proposal writer so networking opportunities are limited. I never see entry level proposal writing jobs advertised. They always want lots of experience. I support myself so I can't do anything crazy like quit my job without another one to go to or work for free unless it was after hours (I am willing to give up my second job). I'm especially interested in hearing from anyone who's done proposal writing. How can I get a break without having a friend in the industry? How did you get the government job?

Are we about to have another Katrina on our hands? Will the federal government do a better job this time? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071024/ap_on_re_us/california_wildfires

customs and border patrol? I applied for a customs agent job in California. Now, it says with a 4 year degree you make 29,700 or close at the grade level of 05. Now with atleast 1 year of graduate classes you go in at grade 07 and start at 36,800 or close to that. This just doesn't seem all that great for having that much education. You also have to do 15 week training academy. Now, with a Ba/bs you will make a little over 60,000 with the sheriffs department. What gives? Why are these government jobs so low? I'd rather do the customs agent type work but the pay is the only thing hindering me from doing so. So my question is this, What opportunities are there for advancement in customs work and in how many years? I know top deputies in the sheriffs can make over 100k after like 8-10 years. So does government work get better once your in or what?

Unemployment benefit for California worker.? If I work for a company less than 6 months and got fired / laid-off. Will I received unemployment benefit from the government ( I live in California ) ?

Can an employer legally require you to divulge a second job or self-employment? Recently, my company announced that all workers would have to divulge any second jobs or self-employment, and furthermore, have them approved (or denied) by the General Manager as a condition for continued employment. Is this legal? Notes: I work in California (so any help with state law would be useful) and my employer is a State Government entity.

Illegals cost California ALONE $9 BILLION A YEAR!!!!? Cost of illegal immigration in California estimated at nearly $9 billion By: EDWARD SIFUENTES - Staff Writer California's nearly 3 million illegal immigrants cost taxpayers nearly $9 billion each year, according to a new report released last week by the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a Washington, D.C.-based group that promotes stricter immigration policies. Educating the children of illegal immigrants is the largest cost, estimated at $7.7 billion each year, according to the report. Medical care for illegal immigrants and incarceration of those who have committed crimes are the next two largest expenses measured in the study, the author said. Pro-immigrant groups and Latino researchers dispute the federation's findings, calling them biased and incomplete. Jack Martin, who wrote the report, said Thursday that the $9 billion figure does not include other expenses that are difficult to measure, such as special English instruction, school lunch programs, and welfare benefits for American workers displaced by illegal immigrant workers. "It's a bottom of the range number," Martin said. The federation is one of the nation's leading lobbying groups aimed at curbing immigration into the country. Authors of the report say it culls information from the U.S. Census and other studies addressing the cost of illegal immigration into the country to draw its conclusions. Gerardo Gonzalez, director of Cal State San Marcos' National Latino Research Center, which compiles data on Latinos, criticized the report. He said it does not measure some of the contributions that immigrants make to the state's economy. "Beyond taxes, these workers' production and spending contribute to California's economy, especially the agricultural sector," Gonzalez said. Immigrants, both legal and illegal, are the backbone of the state's nearly $28 billion-a-year agricultural industry, Gonzalez and other researchers say. More than two-thirds of the estimated 340,000 agriculture workers in California are noncitizens, most of whom are believed to be illegal immigrants, according to a 1998 study on farmworkers prepared for the state Legislature. Local farmers say migrant farmworkers are critical to their businesses, and without them they would have to close their farms or move their operations overseas. Martin disagrees. He said illegal immigrants displace American workers by taking low-skilled jobs, keep wages low by creating an overabundance of workers and stifle innovation by reducing the need for mechanized labor. "The product of the illegal immigrant is not included (in the report) because if that is an essential product it will get done one way or another," Martin said. Employers "would have to pay better wages or invest money on mechanization." Martin's study looks specifically at the costs of educating illegal immigrants' children, providing medical care to illegal immigrants and jailing those convicted of committing crimes. The report estimates the total cost at $10.5 billion each year, but that is offset by about $1.7 billion in taxes that illegal immigrants pay. The study assumes that there are about 1 million children of illegal immigrant parents in California, or about 15 percent of the state's K-12 school enrolled population. The estimate is based on a 1994 study by the Urban Institute that concluded there were 307,000 illegal immigrant children enrolled in the state's public schools. Martin also added an estimate of 597,000 U.S.-born children whose parents are illegal immigrants arriving at a total of 1,022,000 children. Multiplying the number of children by the estimated $7,577 the state spends on average per pupil, the study arrived at the $7.7 billion figure. Including the number of U.S.-born children in the study is one of the reasons pro-immigrant groups said the study is biased. "I think FAIR is without doubt an extremist organization that tries to portray itself as a mainstream group," said Christian Ramirez, director of the San Diego office of the American Friends Service Committee, an advocate group for legal and illegal immigrants. The study's author defended the report, saying that the children were born in the United States as a result of their parents' illegal entry into the country. "In no way does the report identify them as different kinds of citizens, because they would not have been born in the U.S. had their parents not come into the country illegally," Martin said. To arrive at the cost of providing health care to illegal immigrants, the federation's study used an earlier 2000 analysis of health expenses paid by border counties that concluded the state spent $908 million on medical care for immigrants. Martin said he adjusted the 2000 figure for increases in the population and inflation on the cost of providing health care and estimated that the state will spend about $1.4 billion in 2004. The report also estimated that the state will spend another $1.4 billion to jail the 48,000 illegal immigrants in state prisons. California is compensated by the federal government to offset the cost of housing this population, but the federal payments were a fraction, about $111 million, of the total cost, Martin said. To figure out the contributions that this immigrant population makes in taxes, the federation's study said it adjusted the Urban Institute's study estimates of $732 million for population increases and concluded that they contribute about $1.7 billion in sales, income and property taxes. A similar study conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, D.C., and released in August, said that illegal immigrants cost the federal government $10 billion more than they pay in taxes. The federal government pays about $2.2 billion in medical treatment for uninsured immigrants, according to the report. It pays $1.9 billion in food assistance programs, such as food stamps and school lunches, for low-income families. And it pays $1.4 billion in aid to schools that educate illegal immigrant children. Martin said states bear most of the cost of illegal immigration. "State costs are much higher on a per capita basis because of the fact that the largest expenses are medical care and education and those are borne at the local level, not the federal," Martin said.

The report estimates the total cost at $10.5 billion each year, but that is offset by about $1.7 billion in taxes that illegal immigrants pay. WOW, I gained a" negative" $9BIllion. AND the difference between me and an illegal is guess what? I'M LEGAL!!!! WHY Zapata, because you "say so"? Where are your stats? Just because you "say NO" doesn't make it true. I hope you don't have any money because you would be dangerous seeing you did not provide any stats which indicates your the one without brains! Jose, I've seen it first hand! You speak the truth.

Why does the U.S. government play along with Mexican corruption? Mexico is notorious for corruption and is nearly unresponsive to a persistent, staggering poverty suffered by millions of Mexicans. At the top of the Mexican power structure is an elitist, wealthy ruling class that vehemently resists even a modest level of taxation while supporting the status of Mexico as a nation dependent on American financial aid. Onerous taxation and big government is never a solution, but at the other extreme is the Mexican ruling class who has shunned any responsibility for the dire economic state of their country. In a stealth move, the cost of providing for impoverished Mexicans has been shifted onto Americans in lieu of creating Mexican industries that would develop the potential of their abundant natural resources. We, Americans need to stop buying into the propaganda and believing the lie that we are responsible for the poor of Mexico. When corrupt Mexican government officials gather, they don’t discuss possible reform measures; instead they strategize on how to increase the billions of U.S. aid dollars that pour annually into their coffers. This is corruption in action. This is the same corrupt government that looks the other way while a ruthless drug cartel uses violence to control the Mexican border. Leave it to the invariably out-of-touch U.S. Congress to cut a billion dollar check to the Mexican government while Mexican citizens here in this country illegally, run up an annual national tab of close to $340 billion. (Source: cnn.com) There is a serious void of logic, leadership and accountability on both sides of the border. Bottom line, the Mexican government and their wealthy, Mexican friends are laughing all the way to the banco de Mexico. The illegal immigration problem has grown to such a crisis level that the latest by-product is a wave of illegal day laborer hiring sites. Although California is the birthplace of this living testament to outright violation of federal law, county-funded day laborer hiring sites are popping up all across the nation. In truth, they’re nothing more than government sanctioned racketeering schemes paid for, of course, with your tax dollars. Our elected officials seem to fall over themselves as they line up and support the Mexican policy dictating that American tax payers must assume all responsibility related to the crushing poverty that the corrupt Mexican government and the ruling class elites have forced upon the impoverished, Mexican populace. As for American companies that claim they will close down if illegal day laborers aren’t available; I must remind them, again, that America has outlawed slavery. Slavery is an indignant, repugnant practice that violates morality, decency and the intrinsic value and dignity of a human life. In other words, slave labor is illegal in America. Americans are weary of the propaganda drumbeat, claiming illicitly, that illegal workers do the jobs that Americans won’t do or that this country would fall into some kind of a death spiral if illegal day laborers went back to where they came from. It’s propaganda, pure and simple; don’t believe it. http://nationalwriterssyndicate.com/content/view/304/2/

I heard Oral Roberts is in prison in California for his $8 million scam job in 1987 is that true? We who know the news, know he told his TV audience God would "take him home" if he did not get his followers to come up with that much money. Anyone in their right mind should have seen the scam in that counterfeit clergyman and not send him anything at all but people did send him money. So might what I heard be true? And if other clergy are just like him and in it just for the money, can the nations unite against those heartless greedy con men? By, may be taxing them as a business since they are no more than a counterfeit religion in truth which should not have the tax rights of a religion? And give that money back to the people? Our the global governments use it wisely for their peoples real needs? Might be the national leaders can give real teeth to the United Nations for the first time in its 61 years in October on the 24th? Might that bring some kind of peace and security if we did not have dishonest clergy in the money making business but still have freedom for the honest ones? Might giving teeth to the U.N. be a good idea since it is set up to fix world needs? And if it was given real POWER TEETH might the job get done in truth? Think about it! Think positive not negative or things will just stay the same year after year! People like this idea! Might unite the people behind it yet! Think of the money saved and lives too? Has your paid clergy shown you in Revelation 17:16,17 the beast in the U.N. and scam religion is Babylon the Great and go there and notice what the king give the U.N. beast to do what to that greedy kind of religion! That will for real HAPPEN! SOON! If what I heard is true or not it is the right question to get good action from those at Yahoo Answers. Hope it keeps going!

Besides Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, And Boxer, Which Other ...? politicians that moved into another state to find a steady government job promoting socialism, and the destruction of America? 1) Hillary Clinton- moved to New York to become a senator. 2) Nancy Pelosi - Moved to then Republican city of San Francisco during the hippie movement to help convert the Republican state of California into a liberal state. Because of "out of state" liberals, California is now going down the toliet. It now ranks near the botttom of the list in national school test scores and their socialist programs have caused billions of dollars yearly budget deficits that prevent vital infrastructure from being repaired. Not to mention the fact that because of them the crime rate has skyrocketed and California's prisons are overflowing with prisoners. 3) Barbara Boxer - moved to California during hippie movement. She helped in converting the Republican state of California into a liberal state. The city she initially moved to in California is now over 75% liberal. http://www.iowapresidentialwatch.com/images/cartoons/HippiePelosi_small.JPG According the founding fathers of this country, the primary purpose of the U.S. government is to maintain a military. The secondary purpose is to regulate commerce. Fact: Liberals are destroying California.

Marry an ex-call girl? I recently found out that my fiance used to be a call-girl working in California over 18 years ago. We are in our 40's and on our second relationships now. She is wonderful in bed, and once she broke down and shared her past with me it disgusts me that she is so skilled. I appreciate her honesty, I fell in love with her now not her past, and She was only "employed" with the escort service for 3 months till she got busted by an undercover cop. How many guys can you do in 3 months? A Lot I bet!!! And to get to the point in life where it seems like an OK option is scary also. Not wanting to end the relationship over her being honest, I am not retarded, but trying to deal with my own feelings of judgement(I know it is not right), disgust, and embarassment if anyone I know ever found out. She€ came clean since we are getting married and she afraid of apply for a government job and the background check showing her pandering charge. Great answers, I know it was 18 years ago. I know she is different now. I know that I really would not care if friends found out as much as you may think. And I do know she is "clean" now (D/D free). What I guess I want to hear is how do you become that easy going guy who doesn't sweat the small stuff, who honestly lets the past be the past, and what (besides the obvious to forgive and forget people's past) would I tell my 4 children if they found out? I enjoyed more than sex with this woman, we are 40-something and know sex is only a part of a relationship, but I would NEVER pay for sex from a hooker, or think that it was ok to do so or sell myself as one poster suggested. I really HONESTLY do want to be the compassionate, unconditional love giving, gentle person I know would handle this situation perfectly...but I, like her, am human and fall short of perfection...it just makes my stomach turn to know she has been "used" also. Remember, I do love her. How do I forgive?

Do you know how much money the Government spends every year on health care, etc. for illegal immigrants in the USA? I don't have the exact figures, but it's 100's of millions of dollars. When you factor in the burdens that they cause on American society, i.e. crime, pollution, medical care, etc. They are becoming such a burden on our country, especially illegal Mexicans. In California alone, their are over 5 million illegal Mexicans, and up to 30 million illegals in the US. They are taking jobs away from LEGAL US Citizens. i.e. landscaping jobs, laborer, kitchen help, etc. We need to deport all of these people NOW. Who agrees? Agreed, build a bigger border around Mexico, and hire more border patrol agents.

Why do environmentalists cause more harm than good?

Has anyone ever been to L.A.? How do you think that this is going to affect our grand children in years to come? From the L. A. Times: 1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County (L. A. County has 10 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card. 2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens. 3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens. 4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers. 5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally. 6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages. 7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border. 8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal. 9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking. 10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish (10.2 million people in L. A. County). (All the above from the Los Angeles Times) Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration. The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was, (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay), a NET $70 BILLION a year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University]. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE number. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens. If they can come to this country to raise Hell and demonstration by the thousands, Why can't they take charge over the corruption in their own country? We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue. THE U.S. VS MEXICO: On February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican even though most lived in this country. They booed during the National Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down. As the match progressed, supporters of the U.S. team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and after the match. The coach of the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession." Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non-European countries can come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government contracts? It's called affirmative action or racial privilege. The Emperor of Japan or the President of Mexico could migrate here and immediately be eligible for special rights unavailable for Americans of European descent. Corporate America has signed on to the idea that minorities and third world immigrants should get special, privileged status. Some examples are Exxon, Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Boeing, Paine Weber, Starbucks and many more. DID YOU KNOW?: That Mexico regularly intercedes on the side of the defense in criminal cases involving Mexican nationals? Did you know that Mexico has NEVER extradited a Mexican national accused of murder in the U.S. in spite of agreements to do so? According to the L. A. Times, Orange County, California is home to 275 gangs with 17,000 members; 98% of which are Mexican and Asian. How's your county doing? According to a New York Times article dated May 19, 1994, 20 years after the great influx of legal immigrants from Southeast Asia, 30% are still on welfare compared to 8% of households nationwide. A Wall Street Journal editorial dated December 5, 1994 quotes law enforcement officials as stating that Asian mobsters are the "greatest criminal challenge the country faces." Not bad for a group that is still under 5% of the population. Is education important to you? Here are the words of a teacher who spent over 20 years in the Los Angeles School system. "Imagine teachers in classes containing 30-40 students of widely varying attention spans and motivation, many of whom aren't fluent in English. Educators seek learning materials likely to reach the majority of students and that means fewer words and math problems and more pictures and multicultural references." WHEN I WAS YOUNG: I remember hearing about the immigrants that came through Ellis Island. They wanted to learn English. They wanted to breathe free. They wanted to become Americans. Now, far too many immigrants come here with demands. They demand to be taught in their own language. They demand special privileges--affirmative action. They demand ethnic studies that glorify their culture. HOW CAN YOU HELP?: Send copies of this letter to at least two other people, 100 would be even better.

The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border. 8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal. 9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking. 10. In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people in L.A. County). (All the above from the Los Angeles Times) Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was, (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay), a NET $70 BILLION/ year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University ]. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE number. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens. If they can come to this country to raise Hell and demonstrate by the thousands, WHY can't they take charge over the corruption in their own country? We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue. THE U.S. VS MEXICO On February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican even though most lived in this country. They booed during the National Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down. As the match progressed, supporters of the U.S. team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and after the match. The coach of the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession." Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non-European countries can come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government contracts. It's called affirmative action or racial privilege. The Emperor of Japan or the President of Mexico could migrate here and immediately be eligible for special rights unavailable for Americans of European descent. Corporate America has signed on to the idea that minorities and third world immigrants should get special, privileged status. Some examples are Exxon, Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Boeing, Paine Weber, Starbucks and many more. DID YOU KNOW? Did you know .. that Mexico regularly intercedes on the side of the defense in criminal cases involving Mexican nationals? Did you know .. that Mexico has NEVER extradited a Mexican national accused of murder in the U.S. in spite of agreements to do so? According to the L.A. Times, Orange County , California is home to 275 gangs with 17,000 members, 98% of which are Mexican and Asian. How's your county doing? According to a New York Times article dated May 19, 1994, 20 years after the great influx of legal immigrants from Southeast Asia, 30% are still on welfare compared to 8% of households nationwide. A Wall Street Journal editorial dated December 5, 1994 quotes law enforcement officials as stat- ing that Asian mobsters are the "greatest criminal challenge the country faces." Not bad for a group that is still under 5% of the population. Is education important to you? Here are the words of a teacher who spent over 20 years in the Los Angeles School system. "Imagine teachers in classes containing 30-40 students of widely varying attention spans and motivation, many of whom aren't fluent in English. Educators seek learning materials likely to reach the majority of students and that means fewer words and math problems and more pictures and multicultural references." WHEN I WAS YOUNG I remember hearing about the immigrants that came through Ellis Island . They wanted to learn English. They wanted to breathe free. They wanted to become Americans. Now, far too many immigrants come here with de- mands. They demand to be taught in their own language. They demand spe- cial privileges ... affirmative action. They demand ethnic studies that glorify their culture. NOW . WHY CAN'T WE SEND THEM HOME HOW CAN YOU HELP? Send copies of this letter to at least two other people ... 100 would be even better.

Why people are scared? (No Joke)? Willys cynical thought for the fugging day; Everyone has the right to be stupid, but you are abusing the freaking privilege! Why people are scared (No joke) I strongly believe that a tremendous force that has increased apathy has been the American Federal Government taking great strides of removing rights and liberties have left people in a mindset of "Leave me alone." People are worn down and worn out. This has left them vulnerable to all the continuing assaults on everything. They are tired of the government meddling in everything. They are tired of paying 50% of their paycheck in various taxes. They are tired of increased police powers and most of all they are scared. They are scared of the police, politicians, the president and his staff. They are scared of the court systems. They are scared of sexual predators. They are scared of becoming a multi-lingual country. They are scared of the new immigrants bringing disease and pestilence and a new form of government. A government agency is likely one of the biggest employers of illegal immigrants in the state of California The Mexican government publishes books, pamphlets and other materials detailing how to illegally cross the border, where the best trails are and even gives maps showing water sources and the best cell phone coverage. Over 40 tunnels have been found crossing under the U.S./Mexican border, since Sept. 11, 2001. Many had lighting, ventilation and concrete floors and cost hundred of thousands of dollars to build. Studies show that there has never been a guest-worker plan that has worked Hot button issue: Grass-roots activists -- in Massachusetts! -- orchestrated. the defeat of a bill that would have given college tuition to illegal immigrants. The top ten worst (and best) senators when it comes to illegal immigration reform. Exposed: Widespread fraud by companies who file false W-2s for their (presumably) illegal immigrant workers -- and the IRS refuses to investigate or prosecute. Suspected al Qaeda members have been arrested trying to enter the U.S. from the Mexican border. They are scared of governmental protection of people who desecrate the flag while protected by the police. They are scared of losing their jobs to foreign countries. They are scared of censorship. They are scared of carrying a gun or being without one. They are scared of John McCain type politics and bills introduced by him to change the country. These fears have terrorized our country and left people saying, "Leave me alone." People even refuse to be activists out of fear. People are afraid of tyranny and rightfully so. No longer is there recourse or recompense for these actions by the government. Is your position now to be spineless? Let me define that term for you. 1. Having no spines or quills. 2. Having no spine or backbone. 3. Having a weak spine; limp. 4. Without moral force, resolution, or courage; feeble: a spineless, lily-livered coward Dressing up in a leather costume will not give you a spine. Patches and pins will not give you a spine. Wearing a government mandated helmet will not give you a spine. WITHOUT ACTIVISM, MEMBERSHIP IN ANYTHING WILL NOT GIVE YOU A SPINE. What are your suggestions? What are you doing about it? If you are doing nothing and apathetic/spineless then sit down and shut up and write a check to somebody that is doing something about it. http://www.total-knowledge.com/~willyblues/ From; WILLYS JOKES 8/17/06 Why people are scared (No joke) the Best Jokes, online!

California spanking ban shot down! What do you think about the revised version? I still will vote it down. If you want to take out the section which makes it illegal to use a implement, and define what a "deadly weapon" is fine, everything else I agree with. I know parents who use paddles, and belts. They are doing a fine job, with wonderfully behaved children. I will not support a bill which limits their ability to parent. I also won't support a bill which involves more government intrusion in our lives. We have a law on the books which defines abuse as permanent marks left (bruises, welts, blisters) other then temporary redness. This is A-OK by me, and the way the law should stay. I will try and find a link, however I heard this bill was motivated by a man who's 15 month old daughter was killed by a babysitter, who shook her to death. Now really, what does that have to do with parental controlled spanking???? Please someone answer me that. I agree with Randy Thomasson (bottom of page) http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/16765731.htm?source=rss Here is the revised bill in full. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/07-08/bill/asm/ab_0751-0800/ab_755_bill_20070222_introduced.html

Highschool dropout? Hey guys, I have a question and I'd really appreciate if you guys would let me in on what you think I should do. I'm currently 17 and raising 5 of my sibbings. My father left me and my brothers and sisters 2 years ago and I had to drop out of highschool to watch them. I dont have a job and applied for government help for rent and such but now that I'm almost 18 how will I find a job without education? I dont have a highschool diploma and its going to look bad on my resume. Do any of you guys know how I can look for a job here in California so I can support my family? Please let me know I need some feedback. Thanks

Should we factor in the quality of the job when determining the unemployment rate? I am a recently retired scientist in the Silicon Valley of California. the official government numbers say that we have a very low unemployment rate. Many of the Car washes, McDonald's hamburger stands and Convenience stores have signs that say "now hiring" or "help wanted" Approximately one third of the people that I know in the scientific and engineering sector of the economy have lost their jobs in the last few months. It appears to me that the hiring of minimum wage jobs is masking the number of scientists and engineers that are losing their jobs. Even though the official unemployment numbers look good, engineering jobs are being replaced by minimum wage jobs. I suspect that this indicates severe problems for the economy that are not reflected in the official government unemployment numbers. should we have an indes that reflects the unemployment levels in different sectors of the economy rather than one number? Would this give us a more accurate picture?
