CALIFORNIA: AMERICA'S FIRST FAILED STATE

In 1965, California housed a reasonable 15 million people. No traffic jams, little air pollution and everyone spoke English. Route 66, from Chicago to Los Angeles, ended at the Santa Monica Pier. Americans drove to Yosemite National Park for a delightful weekend of hiking. Tony Bennett sang, “I left my heart in San Francisco.”

California ranked among the top five educational systems in America. Hollywood produced incredible movies with Gregory Peck, Susan Hayward, John Wayne, Cary Grant, Marilyn Monroe, Robert Redford, Paul Newman and Jane Russell. I loved Gary Cooper. Bing Crosby sang away our troubles and Bob Hope laughed away our cares.

Few criminals plied the streets of cities in California. Everyone pledged their allegiance to the United States of America and our stars and stripes. Skiers and surfers plied the waves and moguls.

But in 1965, something happened in the Halls of Congress called the “Immigration Reform Act” pushed by the late Teddy Kennedy that changed the 200,000 annual incoming immigrants from compatible countries to 1.2 million third world immigrants annually.

Senator Howard Metzenbaum said, “He let the flood gates wide open.”

Within 40 years, the United States galloped from193 million people to 315 million in 2012. Kennedy’s bill will add another 138 million people by 2050-a scant 38 years from now.

From a net exporter of oil, we now import 7 out of 10 barrels at a cost of trillions of dollars.

Kennedy’s egregious mistake changed the ethnic, linguistic and cultural foundation of America into what we see in California today. Also, Houston, Chicago, Miami, Detroit and New York.

His single act changed the entire history of America from success to utter and growing chaos on multiple levels.

California reached a mind-blowing 38 million people in 2011. It adds 1,655 people net gain daily. It adds over 400 vehicles 24/7 on its already crushed highways. (Source: www.CapsWeb.org ) California expects to add 20 million people within 30 years.

What is driving that kind of growth? Over 10-12 million legal immigrants in California were born abroad.

Immigrants birth 900,000 babies annually. ( www.cis.org, Dr. Steven Camarata)

Something in the range of 4 to 5 million illegal immigrants live and work in California. Most do not pay taxes and others pay on forged identification.

For every added person, 25.4 acres of land must be destroyed to build homes, schools, roads, malls and everything else to support that person. Known as “ecological footprint”, it destroys wilderness and arable land. Thus, California leads the country in animal and plant extinction rates.

Worse, California with its seething, hungry human mob sucks up so much water from the Colorado River that it fails to reach the ocean. As it adds another 20 million people, it will destroy millions upon millions of acres of farm land.

On the educational front, over 100 languages now paralyze California school systems. From the top five states in education, California sank to the bottom five in the United States. English has become a foreign language in California.

As to crime, MS-13 gangs work with the 20,000 member “18th Street Gang” to power drugs, guns and other contraband into the streets of America. Pot farms grow in national parks.

As to cultural breakdown, California now features major Mexican cock fighting organizations throughout the state. Police caught one group of 300 Mexicans last week as they roared and screamed at their blood sport:

In Freemont, California, the call to worship for its dominant Muslim immigrant audience heralds from the growing network of Mosques. Women’s rights degrade, female genital mutilation grows, arranged marriages are commonplace and honor killings take place. (Covered up by the liberal press, of course.)

Yosemite features wall to wall crowds that make any chance for a wilderness experience a hike into human dominated wilderness frenzy.

Most of the children born in California today feature Mexican parents living on American welfare. The EBT program or Electronic Benefits Transfers rewards single mothers unlimited financial support for every baby they produce. And they produce them by the tens of thousands. One mother said on a recording, “I get everything for free…I don’t know why anyone would want to work in America.” Write me at frostyw@juno.com and I will send you the live video of the interview.

Thus, California runs a $24 billion debt that cannot be paid. Ultimately, California will bankrupt into chaos. It suffers from a Faustian Bargain that degrades into Hobson’s Choice.

With so many languages, so many ethnic tribes and so many cultures fighting for dominance in California, how will it survive the next 20 million added people? The TV journalist Bill Moyers asked the famed science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, “Which is the greater danger - nuclear warfare or the population explosion?

“The latter absolutely!” said Asimov. “To bring about nuclear war, someone has to DO something; someone has to press a button. To bring about destruction by overcrowding, mass starvation, anarchy, the destruction of our most cherished values—there is no need to do anything. We need only do nothing except what comes naturally—and breed. And how easy it is to do nothing."

Asimov followed up with a penetrating reality check brought about by overpopulation: “...democracy cannot survive overpopulation. Human dignity cannot survive it. Convenience and decency cannot survive it. As you put more and more people into the world, the value of life not only declines, it disappears. It doesn't matter if someone dies. The more people there are, the less one individual matters.”

California will become our first third world country within our country.

It pretty well has reached that status in 2012. It’s a failing state like Mexico. Corruption is a mechanism by which a third world country operates. Illiteracy drives a failed state.

California defines that reality.

I suspect that Houston, Chicago, Detroit and other heavily dominated immigrant cities will follow California. How come I see this “thing” accelerating and most Americans apathetically sit by and do nothing? Our kids will curse our inaction and historians will laugh at the stupidity of mass immigration, diversity and multiculturalism as it took the greatest country in the world down to its knees. Tragically, we did nothing to stop it.
To show you where we’re headed in-depth, read Pat Buchanan’s epic work: Suicide of a Superpower.

Great article!

"His single act changed the entire history of America from success to utter and growing chaos on multiple levels."

I've made no secret of my hatred for the drunken lad-ass, cowardly, Ted. I detest him for ruining my state AND the country I used to know. In ten years I don't expect that I will even recognize California. Hopefully I will be out of here by then if not sooner.

CALIFORNIA: AMERICA'S FIRST FAILED STATE
READERS RESPOND

Hundreds of readers responded with emails to the piece “California: America’s first failed state” published January 19, 2012, NWV. Many felt betrayed by the video of the girl who said, “I don’t know why anyone would want to work in America” as she referred to how much money any woman could make by becoming a baby factory.

One Australian visiting California replied that California was still a nice place to live. Eric Claus wrote, “I think Frosty's heart is in the right place but the hyperbole in this rant is way over the top. I'm in California now. There are lots of problems some caused by population, some not, but illegal immigrants don't flock to "failed states" by the millions. People come here because it is a really nice place to live. It could certainly be better, but by writing things like this Frosty puts himself in the fringe of people who want to see a more sustainable world. It's great to be enthusiastic but is this about solving a problem or is it about making yourself feel good because you are really striking a blow for what is right. It feels like the latter to me.”

I replied to his reply by writing to a major Australian website that shows how Australia is also being overrun by immigration. I said, “This is not about heart and it’s not about bias. I am not on the fringe. I write about facts. (I quoted 10 sources for the points I made in the column.) Yes, illegal aliens do flood into California because it’s better than the sheer misery of living and working for $5.00 a day in Mexico. I have traveled all over Mexico. No Australian can imagine the poverty of Mexico. I’m 65 years old, so I don’t need to exaggerate or add drama. Today, with mass immigration, California is being changed into a Mexican-Korean-Middle Eastern-Ethiopian-Congo-Salvadorian-Brazillian-Chinese-Vietnamese-India polyglot of people who have immigrated here but do not mesh nor do they assimilate into American society. California pays out $10.2 billion annually to take care of illegal aliens from education to food to housing to medical to incarceration. Their poverty paralyzes California.

“If Claus is visiting California now, he is stuck in the 15 hour daily gridlock traffic that defines Los Angeles, San Francisco and other enormous cities. He’s breathing toxic air from 38 million people exhausting their homes, electric plants and auto emissions into the air. He’s drinking from plastic water bottles because so much of California’s tap water suffers from contamination. He cannot help but be warned not to go deep into Los Angeles where entire sections of the city are owned by gangs. He would not be able to ask directions because the immigrants don’t speak English and don’t like you because you do speak English. If he digs deeper into lower California, he will see the tent cities and human waste piling up all over the place. He will see entire families living out of “storage lockers”. If he sent his kids to California’s schools, they would not reach 18 with a decent education. Ethnic clashes in high schools are a daily part of the multicultural nightmare.”

A lady named Ruth said, “I moved to California in 1955. It was a veritable paradise. Jobs were plentiful. It was truly a "Laid-back" state with perfect climate, forever fun and prosperous or so we thought. I attended California State University Long Beach in the 1960s. Zero tuition; a $12 Student Union fee; used books returned for a full refund at semester's end. Does anyone think education is better today at the ridiculously high costs? I lived at the beach most of my 31 years in California. At one time, I paid $300 a month for a three-story home right on the sand; that home would now rent for $3,000. I began seeing a horrible transition taking place as you pointed out in massive immigration, no demands for English language skills, and everyone jumping on the welfare bandwagon. As prices began skyrocketing (why not, since the government will pay for everything?), I saw the writing on the wall, so I left California in 1986. The last time I visited the state, I was appalled at the trash and filth along the streets and highways, and the rundown conditions everywhere. It's like a plague, I'm afraid it is spreading nationwide, and we shall all suffer a horrible demise because of it. Stop the immigration now! Legal and illegal!”

Referring to the welfare queen video, Canadian Wayne said, “I'm at a loss to know how to process this girl's attitude. Is she to blame for what she's doing? If someone - the government - the policy/law makers are handing out candy, who in their right mind wouldn't stand in line to receive their share? I live in Canada, and we do many stupid things here too, but this is the mighty United States of America - how can your lawmakers allow this to happen? It's all very sad. I believe this is the sort of thing that will cause the total collapse of our governments.”

Jack said, “I have never read any of your articles before; but having seen the latest on California, I need to say, 'I certainly wish I could write like that'. I like the article: well said. America is in for a lot more trouble than they can even speculate. There are tough times coming soon. Therefore, I look forward to not being here when that happens. I need to finish my autobiography and then come what may.”

Steven said, “I receive NewsWithViews and read your article early this morning. I really do not comment much on NWV articles but in this case I wanted to leave you with a couple of thoughts. I understand your main thrust on immigration but please consider this:

“First, most anyone with a pulse has taken a position on illegal immigration, the truth is that probably 70% of Americans clearly understand it is a danger to our very existence. The remaining 25-30% of those who approve of this immigration fiasco are in reality the 20% hard left and maybe only 10% or so who are not. The open borders crowd is entrenched in the political and educational system and generates propaganda supporting this invasion. I realize legal immigrants are an issue and part of your article, but illegals are driving the explosion by various means and in my mind are first priority.

“The narrative has changed. People do not talk anymore about if illegals are a problem, people know it. I hope that those with a voice such as yourself, will drive the next phase, and that is let's do something about it. Get rid of freebies from the government and illegals will leave. Make hiring illegals unwelcome everywhere and watch the positive results as they leave in mass. I hope you and others like yourself will be an inspiration to others to get the job started and rolling. We have here in Arizona, small baby steps, but a start. Please keep up the good fight.”

One other reader said that Americans need to get ready for “impact” as to the consequences of long term mass immigration. With another 75 million to be added by 2035—impact needs another term to describe what’s going to “hit” this country.
