If I recall correctly, so many Non-CA and Former CA posters were coming to the L.A. and California boards to spam illegal questions, it was filled with nothing but illegal and anti-Mexican discussion, thus invoking a mod to create this gem of a forum.
Now if everyone could leave California to the current and prospective residents, we may be able to have a sub forum under each state. However, I find that highly unlikely due to the extreme rate of CA bashing that occurs on this CD forum.
Spray your digital graffiti in your own state forum!!!

If the Ca. state forum doesn't want a seperate immigration thread..so be it.

I vote to keep it out of the CA forums, it becomes a downward spiral.
Just a question, why do so many folks have "formerly California" in their location? I don't see anyone running around with "formerly Illinois" or "formerly Oklahoma". I am just curious is it a badge of honor to have left or a sense of pride to have lived there, why the need to designate that?

Using myself as an example:
I fled Wash DC 30 years ago for several reasons (no laws broken, nothing like that, just hated the place).........DC in retrospect was never 'home' to me. And I have yet to even visit that place since leaving in 1978.
California; in particular the Van Nuys section of Los Angeles, is my spiritual hometown. Why I say that is when i saw the San Fernando Valley for the first time back in 1980; I was enchanted---------almost as is I finally came home
In essence; many of us were 'forced out' due to the PC crap eminating from that state.
Trust me, if illegal immigrants (of all races/ethnicities were to 'disappear' tomorrow, many of us would likely return to California.
Much respect to you AzBear...but I hear that story all the time, I guess I don't get moving out of a state due to people moving in. Is that the whole "White Flight" thing? Why not stay in a place you like and call home, fight in the trenches for it, don't move and bomb from distance over the internet, then blame others for losing it.
Well I still don't understand the need to put "formerly _________" in your location, I have lived all around the world I don't put "formerly Azores, Portugal" in my loc and it seems to only be x-californians that do it like some badge of honor or something.
