Three very good online videos about the sorry state of California's economy
are now available.

Foreclosure Alley

Foreclosure alley is really spooky. My main problem with that news report is
that they never explained why people were leaving their possessions behind.
People wouldn't do that unless they are on the run. The other gaping question
that was never answered is where the people from these huge communities went.
Did they disappear, go back to their home country, or what?

These commentaries are long but worth reading to find out more about the
mortgage meltdown. WARNING, they aren't politically correct!

Towards the end of the first ABC video Charlie Gibson stated that the
nonimmigrant population of California has decreased by 1.5 million in the last
ten years. huh? What is he talking about???

Gibson's statement gives the impression that the population of California was
depopulating due to out-migration, but just the opposite is happening!
According to Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS) the population
is increasing by approximately one person every single minute, or 60 per hour.
Perhaps what's most interesting is where the population growth is coming from:

"In the last decade immigration and births to immigrants have
accounted for nearly 100% of California s population growth."
Diana Hull, President of CAPS, August 11, 2008

So, California's population is increasing and immigration is at record highs.
That got me to wondering, who are those nonimmigrants Charlie Gibson is
referring to? With a little research I figured it out. The answer is
intriguing but discouraging.

The classification "nonimmigrant" officially includes employment visas such as
H-1B, student visas such as J-1, and even tourist visas for foreigners.
Millions of nonimmigrant visas are issued every year. Nonimmigrant visas are
by definition temporary and the people who use them come from foreign
countries. Foreigners on nonimmigrant visas are not included in population
counts because in theory they are only in the U.S. temporarily. Many types of
nonimmigrants can and will stay here by changing their status to permanent
residency. Since nonimmigrants are not tracked or used in population counts
it's unlikely that Gibson was referring this type of immigration.

California has a mass migration of immigrants into the state, and a much
smaller number of migrants leaving the state. California's immigration inflow
and migration outflow results in a net increase in the state's population by
about a million people per year. That's hardly the picture Gibson leaves near
the end of that video.

Assuming that Gibson's numbers have some basis in fact we should be able to
figure out what he is talking about by looking at California's immigration
statistics. Here are some statistics on California immigration:

Legal immigrants in 2007: 228,941

Illegal immigrants: 724,000

Total immigrants: 1,000,000

I contacted Gretchen Pfaff, Director of Communications and Legislation for
Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS) to find out the number of
illegal immigrants that sneak into California every year. She based her
calculations with an estimate that 25% of the 2,895,300 illegals that enter
the U.S. settle in California, which is over 700,000. Thank you Gretchen for
the bad news!

So, we now know that California is gaining over 1 million immigrants per year
from 2007-2008, but who is leaving? A look at census data reveals that a net
total of 144,000 people leave California per year, which equals the
1.5 million he quoted for 10 years.

Charlie Gibson characterized the people leaving California as "nonimmigrants",
which is a total misnomer. I don't think what he said was a mistake -- it was
a deliberate obscuration of the facts. Most of those leaving are U.S. citizens
and legal California residents. Apparently Gibson is so beholden to political
correctness he can't even say things like "U.S.
citizen", or even worse he is one of those globalists that don't recognize
citizenship of any kind. In his view everyone is an immigrant or nonimmigrant.

There is another underlying issue that probably scares Gibson too much to
mention -- most of those migrants leaving California are middle class whites!
It's a classic case of white flight. What he failed to admit is that
California is transforming itself into impoverished third worldism by
importing desperate poverty from south of our border while at the same time
creating conditions that are causing a mass exodus of educated middle class
whites. There is nothing new about this phenomenon. In the references section
I included a link to the late great Sam Francis who described the exodus in
2003.

NOTE: While the largest percentage of the illegals in California are from
south of the border, they come from all over the world by every means of
transportation you can imagine.
