Is the immigration problem in California bad? (Santa Monica, London: house, work)

[Ben_Hooper]

Is the immigration problem in Southern California bad? England has had millions of eastern europeans move over. Work is now almost impossible to find and i'm just fed up with the community so im thinking of leaving dull, rainy, crime infested London and starting fresh over here.
Is California really in the crapper over illegal aliens from mexico and other immigration issues.

No, but it will be if you come and bring that sort of attitude with you.

Depends on what kind of work you do and how much you like traffic being jammed by criminals marching for "rights".

[Ben_Hooper]

I'd rather be held up by "rights" marchers than one of our London traffic jams. Stuck for hours in a smoggy crime infested area. Plus the reason for the hold-ups on the road are because of street races gone wrong or a driveby shooting or a prison escapee which i actually witnessed about 2 years ago. The escapee was half naked in a batman cape and underpants jumping from car rooftop to rooftop!

Oh, LA has plenty of traffic when there's nothing special going on.

Out-of-control street races... Prison escapees dressed as Batman... Ah yes, that sounds just like the London I know.

Anyway, come to L.A. There are no illegal immigrants, no drive-by shootings, and of course no smog. You'll love it.

Eastern Europeans are probably the least of your worries in cities such as Londonistan.

LA is the best place to enjoy a taco, spring roll and coque au vin all in one afternoon.

Illegal aliens have little impact on your life other than providing you with affordable landscape maintenance and housekeeping services. Sure you could get mugged by an illegal, but you'll have a greater chance of getting killed by an American born gangbanger or run-over by an intoxicated White man after New Years.

The only thing that drags down LA is afternoon smog, but if you move to coastal towns it's less of an issue. Live in Santa Monica, you'll like it, trust me.

As long as you speak fluent spanish you will probably do alright.

I think a lot of people would dissagree with this statement, but that's for another forum.
