V.P. Joe Biden is crashing in Iowa polls. I guess his campaign aids couldn't keep him from talking.

The only constant in life is change ...

There was a time when people were complaining about all the Germans, Italians and Irish.

Change is good, but what have here going on in Texas will not end up good, Texas will end up being like California where the native people won’t be able to afford live here.

I know, this is f*cking unbelievable, we are completely overwhelmed in Texas with all the migrants - immigrants , Texas is no longer Texas , My state has been f*cked, totally f*cked , the days of land and cattle are over, we have consumed so many Africans, Mexicans, East Indians, Iraq , Iran, Pakistan, you name it they are here in large numbers.

On top of all that, we have a mass migration from California, Illinois, Georgia

Housing prices have more than doubled, Apartment rent has doubled, we have more car accidents than i could have ever imagined could be possible. not enough roads and highways.

No one is being vetted before going into the general public society, so ANY foreign disease is possible here, pretty scary sh*t these days.

Quite a few texans have also moved, ... as in - moved out of the USA. I meet them often.

If you don't happily accept the cultural problems, crime and cost of illegal mass migration, you're probably racist.

Advocate for the murder of innocent children as a "choice" and your a SJW.

There are many factors and even houses in the midwest where I frankly would never ever consider living are now insane at $300,000. If you are a child of a baby boomer with your house paid for you can stay like many I know, or cash out like I did.

Boomer Children sure they cant afford it unless their parents help you or you save lots of money for a down payment. Hyper price inflation ( rarely called that) occured especially in 2000’s. I saw lots of price doubling from say 2000-2005, then 08-09 crashing, now its way too high in certain areas.

Ridiculously low interest rates that punish savers are partially to blame. Once they get back to normal, watch housing prices cave. LA, California is no longer like it once was with diverse industry, manufacturing, good paying jobs. People spend hours and hours commuting to work, its crazy. The weather is the only thing that never changes, the best in the USA.

But is that directly attributable to immigrants and nationality (and I'm talking legal ones right now) or are there other factors at work?

A lot of people are leaving the more expensive parts of the country to find something more affordable. That raises demand and pricing in the new region. To meet demand, builders overdevelop - another problem.

Looks like Austin home prices and taxes are similar to here. Maybe the home prices are just a little less. Rates went up here with people moving from NYC. Still lower in South Jersey. Property taxes - Texas doesn't have state income tax, does it? That would explain the property taxes. Here we have both. Property taxes are a disaster because what we pay in state tax doesn't come back proportionately to the individual town school systems. The bulk of it goes to abbot school districts (which haven't shown performance to justify it) So most of our property taxes are school - about 65% here. (We do have very good schools, BUT ...)

People with money are fleeing liberal shit holes like California. Want to see the democrat vision for America look no further than SF, LA, CH, NY.

Weather in LA was great when it was NOT Smoggy and you could see the snow covered mountains... on windy days. That's what I remember, from the mid 70's to early 80's...

How I remember LA, sometimes...

We don’t have state tax here, yet. Although that could be coming.

All throughout my life Texas had always been a place where you didn’t have to have a high paying job to live, apartment rent was very very reasonable, food pricing and gas very reasonable, so a person could actually work a low wage job and still be able to afford the necessities.

I remember the days of people from other states making fun of Texas and not wanting to move here, when I was a kid I remember when the steel unions in Pennsylvania layed off workers they would cone here , but leave and go back to Pennsylvania once the steel work picked up again.

It isn’t the Mexican Americans that are a problem at all here, they have been here in large numbers since I was around 16 years old. They are good people and great contributors to the state.

The illegals on the hand are a problem and have been for 30 years here, we have day labor stations all over Texas, the illegal Mexicans that are here , and have been hired on by companies do not have social security card of course , so they pay no taxes, these companies hire them knowing they are here illegally.

I am not saying these illegal Mexican people here are bad people by any means, but they are here illegally none the less.

Local, State nor federal law enforcement have ever done anything to stop the illegal Mexicans here from being able to live here. So there has been no law enforcement of illegal Mexicans being here in the state of Texas. They are also protected by such organizations as LuLac here.

Now on the flip side, the eastern Indians, Russians, Iranians, Africans and ect who are here legally on work visas and ect visas are here in very large numbers. Some work as simple jobs as convenient stores and ect, not skilled jobs is what I am saying I guess. So why are they here?? Why would the US government extend these people work visas for that? They shouldn’t have and shouldn’t be extending them work visas IMO.

These people go back to India, Russia, Africa at will, return back to the US.

How awesome is that! They can come over here, use our resources, take jobs from Americans, and come and go as they please. And they do cone and go quite a lot. I know a man from India that goes back to India three times a year, comes back to Texas to do his janitor job.

Why do I see all this as a problem??

Because the American tax payer is paying for these people to have such a choice as to pick and choose. It’s all on our dime.

A solution, pay me, if our country is going to allow this, every American should receive monthly retribution, that being raise these peoples taxes to approx 14% so they can carry on such a life style. Pay me.

Sound shitty for me to ask for a monthly check in exchange?? I don’t think so at all, these people are using the hell out of America’s resources, they fuck up my flow at times as I am sure they do so many other Americans. So pay that high tax rate to make sure the American people are accommodated for their troubles.

If they raised their taxes to do such a thing they would leave with the quickness, that saying they didn’t love America near as much as we might think.

Barring they have the money, it is easy and convenient for these people to attain a visa in the US, they can even let the visa expire and stay in the US without consequences, the free for all bullshit needs to stop, the law enforcement on every level needs to enforce our immigration laws, for the good of America as well as for national security.

Hate to add to the dumping on Texas, but here are police shutting down a 7-year-old's lemonade stand. "Cuz the law is the law..." When exactly did America abandon common sense in favor of hard laws?

I guess this is why JB and his other friend here a couple years back (Verbster, I think) didn't believe me when I said one could open a restaurant in Japan for a few bucks and minimum hassle. They found something on the internet and assumed that was more valid than my first-hand experience. I guess, they also assumed that laws were applied the same way as they are in the US, without any sense or perspective.

This sort of thing kills entrepreneurial spirit at the grassroots level. And makes criminals of them, to boot. And always, the "law is the law" is the excuse. It's really not substantially different from "I was just following orders."

Far-Left California Governor Gavin Newsom to Extend Health Benefits to Illegal Aliens...
Gavin Newsom trashed Trump and promised “sanctuary to all who seek it” during his inauguration speech in January.

Fast forward several months later and Newsom is signing a proposed $213.5 billion budget that will include providing healthcare to the illegal aliens who have invaded California.

USA Today reported:

"California was poised Monday to become the first state to provide health care coverage to young, low-income adults living in the country illegally after legislative leaders provided a thumbs-up to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s $98 million plan targeting almost 100,000 low-income adults.

The full Legislature still must sign off on the plan that would make such immigrants 19 to 25 eligible for Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program. The deal was a win for Newsom, who rejected as too expensive a state Senate plan to include adults 65 and older.

Anthony Wright, executive director of the advocacy group Health Access, said further expansion of the program could come in the future.

The move is part of a larger effort to ensure everyone in the state has access to health insurance. The proposal also makes California the first state to subsidize insurance for middle-income families. A family of four earning as much as six times the federal poverty level – or more than $150,000 a year – would be eligible for $100 a month from the government to help pay for insurance. Newsom had initially balked at the subsidy but ultimately relented.

Lawmakers have until Saturday to approve the budget or face losing their pay."

In February Governor Newsom pulled the National Guard troops from the US border with Mexico.

Newsom says California will not be a part of the Trump administration’s “manufactured crisis.”

Hardworking taxpayers of California are being forced to pay for illegal aliens from cradle to grave thanks to radical left-wing Democrats who have destroyed a once great state

And yet all those illegal aliens and those that employ them are breaking the law countless times every day!

Where is "the law is the law" for them?~

BTW, whatever happened to Verbster... chilling out in Alaska?
