Hard to believe that.

Even if true... they are here illegally. They should not be here in the first place... even if they contributed $1 trillion to the economy!

not every state has lost its freaking mind and started telling illegal rapist that the feds were coming after them...


not every state has passed laws that tell a business that if it complies with FEDERAL LAW, the state will come after them and destroy their business.

NO I'm not happy with sanctuary laws.

There are many of who are "behind enemy lines" here in CA.

I live in California.

For most of my adult life I have been a moderate Democrat.

We can't get out of California fast enough.

Retire in 5 years 9 months or hit Powerball.....whichever comes first.

Governor Brown and our AG are lunatics. When that verdict of innocent came down against the murderer of Kate Steinle it sealed the deal on just how evil the left in my state have become.

I'm sickened by it.

My countdown to moving started about 3 years ago. I'm hoping to be out of here within 18 months. Have already contacted a realtor in Tyler TX. The ball is rolling.


For every one of us tax paying hard working moderates that leave, an illegal alien will fill our vacancy. What will this once awesome state become in a decade if nothing changes?

This state will soon be the bankrupt garbage can the socialist/communist left dream of.

Thank you to the California people for responding. I am very sorry for the state of affairs in California. It is very good to know, however, that there are some SANE people in CA. I feel bad for you and hope you all can take back the government. It will be a slow process, but please know the people of the USA recognize your pain and are rooting for you.

We will never take it back. Moderates lost their vote in 92. For the people here to re-elect Moonbeam after the way he trashed the state in the 70s (I lived through both) is absolutely unbelievable. He has done even more damage this time around than last.

He basically waited for a new uneducated generation to foist his radical ideological BS on, and they bought it hook line and sinker.


I hope they arrest and convict that PoS Mayor from Oakland... which BTW Moonbeam was prior to being Governor.

Highest crime rate in the state and he ran and won on it. Amazingly stupid people here.

Don't worry about it, keep believing what you wish to. The people who have lived and worked here all their lives are leaving. We'll soon see how quickly a state can go completely insolvent under the weight of their precious law breakers and insane taxation to cover their ASSEtS.

Would it be possible to "sell" California to Mexico? Or at least the southern part? We could give them a great deal.

They [Mexico] don't deserve San Diego.

Born and raised here in California, I voted for Trump. My family and I are not okay with what has happened to California. Two of my siblings plan to leave the state in the next 2 year when their kids leave for college. There are many Trump supporters here, we just don't talk about politics because we are business owners.
