Will the "Immigrant Boycott" shut down any airports?

The thing which gets me is there are a lot of rich people in the smog
filled LA basin who can afford to live anywhere they like in the world -
yet they choose LA. Different strokes, I suppose. If I had the money to
live in California, the only place I'd go is northern California. There
really are a lot of beautiful places out there.

Agreed. But the weather isn't as nice.

Actually, the cliffs and rocky shorelines around Monterrey reminded me
of where I live now when I last went!

Sounds lovely, Dylan. Someday we'll have to fly on over...

aliens.


4. Over 2/3's of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien
Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by taxpayers.


5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are
Mexican nationals here illegally.


6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in
garages.


7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most
likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.


10. In L.A.County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak
Spanish (10.2 million people in L.A.County).

Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops but 29% are on
welfare.

Following are "predictions" and opinions of I came across on the web:

Augustin Cebada, Brown Berets; "Go back to Boston! Go back to Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You are old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten rats. You old white people. It is your duty to die . . Through love of having children, we are going to take over.

Richard Alatorre, Los Angeles City Council. "They're afraid we're going to take over the governmental institutions and other institutions. They're right. We will take them over . . . We are here to stay."

Excelsior, the national newspaper of Mexico, "The American Southwest seems to be slowly returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot."

Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez, University of Texas; "We have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. The explosion is in our population . . . I love it. They are ****ting in their pants with fear. I love it."

Art Torres, Chairman of the California Democratic Party, "Remember 187--proposition to deny taxpayer funds for services to non-citizens--was the last gasp of white America in California."

Gloria Molina, Los Angeles County Supervisor, "We are politicizing every single one of these new citizens that are becoming citizens of this country . . . I gotta tell you that a lot of people are saying, "I'm going to go out there and vote because I want to pay them back."

Mario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton, "California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave."

Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General , "We are practicing 'La Reconquista' in California."

Professor Fernando Guerra, Loyola Marymount University; "We need to avoid a white backlash by using codes understood by Latinos . . . "

Gosh - why SoCal? Most my trips there have featured smog so thick that
it wasn't VFR legal (yet a bright sunny day).

It's a hell of a lot more clear than it was 35 years, ago, in my observation.

Exactly...the enforced smog control and yearly emissions checks required have cleaned up the air substantially. I am
amazed at how bad the air gets here in Michigan! Climb up to 6000' or so and you can see the crud everywhere. Amazing
that smog controls are not enforced all over the country...

In case you have been in a cave the last 30 or so years pollution
regulations are in place all across the country.

That's nice...When was the last time you had _your_ car smog checked?

The "Indians" who inhabited the LA Basin in the mid 1800's called it "Land
of many smokes".

One of the early explorers (1850's) into what is now Denver remarked about
the "haze" that frequently engulfed the area.

Most of the crud in Phoenix is dust from the desert (it's downwind of
thousands of square miles of scrub) and diesel exhaust.

In the early 1990's a bunch of scientists from Metro State College in Denver
tested vehicles using optical scanners at the bottom of the freeway onramps.
They found that the old 80/20 rule was in place, but in this case is was
90/10 - 90% of the pollution was caused by 10% of the vehicles.

My area in NC just had the smog checks become part of the yearly inspection
process. I am not sure if it is the whole state now, or what. It was just
the big city counties, such as the Raleigh-Durham area, and Charlotte.

The thing that puzzles me, is that you don't have to have cars older than
'96 (I think) inspected for smog.

Some cars older than that, with shot motors, are running around smoking like
a 10 pack-a-day chain smoker, making more pollution than 50 cars that are
being inspected.

Until that loophole is closed, or at least tightened, smog control for cars
makes little sense.

I notice many states stopped requireing smog checks and just charge the fee
on license renewal.

Ours go through the process every couple of years but I don't know why you
ask.

Minnesota. No more tests. State sold off all of those nice, new, brick,
mult-bay, vehicle emissions buildings to boot.
