Auch wenn dieser Artikel politisch keineswegs neutral, sondern eindeutig als rechts-konservativ identifizierbar ist ("...If California falls to the complete control of the Radical Left, it will become an enormous engine for the total destruction of our country and civilization.") und daher gewisse Probleme möglicherweise verzerrt dargestellt werden: Kalifornien steckt in einer Krise.
Einige Auszüge:
"Certainly one of the top problems confronting California is the unrestrained legal and illegal immigration from Mexico as well as Latin America, Asia, Russia, and the Middle East. The sheer size of this immigration invasion has already Balkanized large parts of the state and transformed many areas into Third World enclaves that are unlikely to assimilate any time soon."
"According to a Census Bureau study released in August, from 1995 to 2000, an astonishing 2,204,500 California residents pulled up stakes and fled to other states."
"The cost of California’s draconian environmental regulations have been escalating for years. It can cost $75,000 to get state approval of a timber harvest plan even before a tree is cut. But the final straw for Wetsel-Oviatt was the recent stunning news that the state-imposed workers’ compensation premiums would more than double, from $760,000 to $1.6 million annually."
