Report From Occupied America: The Fall Of Salinas
Salinas is lost.
Located in California's Central Coastal Valley and known as the Salad
Bowl to
the World, Salinas is the state's first casualty of the financial and
cultural
consequences of illegal immigration.
Salinas-on a smaller scale but even more dramatically than Los Angeles,
San
Diego or San Francisco- has been overwhelmed. The poor and (occasional)
farm
workers from Central America and Mexico came to Salinas in huge numbers
in
recent decades. But this time, they never went home.
Salinas-birthplace of American novelist John Steinbeck and the town
that hosts
wranglers from across the country every summer at the 100-year-old
California
Rodeo-has been transformed into a place I, a native-born Californian,
no longer
recognize.
Here is a snapshot of Salinas today:

Have you noticed yet that we white folk are now the minority in
California?
Quoted message said:This country is going to [censored] and all the politicians care about is
getting the minority vote. I am surrounded by Mexicans, Chinese Hmongs,
East Indians and more that cannot even communicate in English, much less
to other minority groups. Anybody who believes this will be a great
country in 30 years or so has their head way up their ass.
I had to say that since I was born white in Chicago and never even know
what a Mexican was until I was 15 and my parents moved me to California.
Close the damn floodgates on immigration, we are full.
Also make English mandatory not only in school but at home and in the
markets.
Immigration is not a problem, if it's done properly. If someone has a
marketable skill, is healthy, and is not a criminal, let them in. Illegal
immigration, however, is not good. If we are living in an age in which we're
fearful of a "terror" attack, then wouldn't it be a good idea to secure the
borders? If the coyotes can smuggle in illegal Mexicans, couldn't they do
the same for a Saudi or Iranian? The problem isn't going to be solved until
the demand for illegals is addressed. Massive fines and/or jail time for
those who hire illegals might do the trick. Giving local police the ability
to arrest illegals on sight might do it, also. As for your language
issue--the government has no right to mandate which language someone speaks
at home or on the street. However, all local/state/federal business should
be done in English, and English should be declared the official language of
the US. Most other nations have an official language, and we should too.
I've been to Miami, and there are huge sections of the city in which English
is a foreign language, and that's wrong.
