No doubt there is an emphasis on education... it reached the point a while back the UC Berkeley said it had too many Asian Students... the minority was a majority.

I work with Doctors and they just about all live in the best School Districts... as in the top public schools.

Seven of the kids of the Docs I work with send their kids to very expensive private schools... where 30 to 40k for the upper grades is typical...

Maybe on the shores of Tahoe, Pebble Beach, La Jolla might generate a different response?
Interesting. I know of very few people who inherited a home from their parents. Most of our friends' parents, as well as our own parents who are still alive, are in expensive retirement communities and they needed to sell their homes to fund that. And people are living a lot longer than they used to. My mom's community is full of 90-plus year olds.

Pretty much the same here... the home equity was needed for later years...

6k a month is about where it starts and goes up from there depending on the level of care...

There are less expensive places if all that is needed is meals and light housekeeping...

For most it wouldn't take long to burn thought significant savings...

Also... it was only 5 years or so where Real Estate value was still at all time lows...

Another part on inheriting... with multiple heirs most would only inherit a share...

“It’s outrageous that the White House would undercut months of bipartisan efforts by again trying to put its entire wish list of hard-line anti-immigrant bills — plus an additional $18 billion in wall funding — on the backs of these young people.”

Nope, tax cuts for all levels. In fact if you aren't over leveraged in mortgage debt in California, even without the SALT, most married couples and singles will get a SIGNIFICANT tax cut.

Did you even read the tax plan? Doesn't seem so.

Also, DACA is dead.

Sure it's POSSIBLE that Democrats get amnesty for their future illegal to legal voters but Trump is going to exact not only an astronomical price but astrological as well. He will get the wall, the end of chain immigration, the end of the visa lottery, reductions in refugees, reductions in legal aliens, and the reduction of green cards.

I'd take that trade all day long. Either way the DNC is going to get skewered for that trade.

They have no leverage. This is no negotiation. This is a choice to capitulate or be annihilated.

If they fail to get amnesty, they will be destroyed in 2018 mid-terms. If they get amnesty but lose chain migration, refugees, etc, they lose a long term voter supply that was once guaranteed.

This is 4D Chess. The guy is in fact a genius.

You call this a genius?

“What do we want Haitians here for?,” the president asked, according to the people briefed. “Why do we want all these people from Africa here? Why do we want all these people from ****hole countries?"

Trump's delivery was poor and regrettable, but his question was spot on. Just as an example, Haiti has a low education, low skill, high disease population. So very many Haitian immigrants are involved in crime. Moreover, one wonders about just what culture Haitians integrate into. It is not always the prevailing culture. As for what benefits a society can yield from any immigrant group, that is the most important question yet. Sure, there might be meritorious Haitian immigrants who would be an asset to us, but then again, many would not. Trump is right for finally asking it. Immigration is not a charity program. Now compare most Haitians to the many educated Chinese or Indian immigrants. Give me a break.

there is already a law. all they have to do is enforce it.


if it says temporary, there is no other way to interpret it. if the employers want to petition these temps, use the law and it says only 60,000 is available to skilled workers and another 20000 for those who graduated here.


if you cant squeeze them into the existing law, then the law maybe harsh but it is the law
