A Growing Racial Division
by Jack Lee
California scores two big zeros! First, we must have the nation’s largest pro-illegal representation in our legislature. They prove it all the time, for example, most recently they voted to give away tens of millions in tuition subsidies for illegals. Thats a big zero! Next, California is the ONLY state in the union that does NOT give its National Guard soldiers free tuition at state colleges and universities, another zero.
I can't even begin to understand what the democratic controlled legislature has against our National Guard soldiers, unless it is some perverse extension of their antiwar stance? But, what's up with the support for illegals? Illegal is illegal. You can't be a little bit illegal, only those who rely on situational ethics can rationalize that, just like they rationalize drivers licenses for illegals or free, K-12 education for illegals or free medical treatment for illegals, etc.
I'm only guessing now, but this might explain it. . . .
In the Assembly we have, Juan Arambula (Democrat), Anna Caballero (Democrat) Charles Calderon (Democrat), Hector De La Torre (Democrat), Kevin De Leon (Democrat), Joe Coto, Chair (Democrat), Ed Hernandez (Democrat), Tony Mendoza (Democrat), Pedro Nava (Democrat), Fabian Núñez (Democrat), Nicole Parra (Democrat), Mary Salas (Democrat), Lori Saldaña (Democrat), Jose Solorio (Democrat), Nell Soto (Democrat), Alberto Torrico (Democrat).
Members of the Senate, Ron Calderon (Democrat), Gil Cedillo, Vice Chair (Democrat), Lou Correa (Democrat), Denise Ducheny (Democrat), Dean Florez (Democrat), Gloria Negrete-McLeod, Jenny Oropeza (Democrat), Alex Padilla (Democrat) and Gloria Romero-D.
My all American mongrel values tell me any organization that segregates itself by race or ethnicity has no business in our government. White, black, brown, yellow, etc., we should be color blind as voters and so should our representatives! To do less is to take a giant step backwards.
The Hispanics in the legislature seem determined to fulfill the LaRaza doctrine, of anything for the race. They just may have the power to do it too, if they keep exploiting and abusing their voting block.
Here are the facts and just the facts: Latinos make up about 31 percent of California’s adult population but only 14 percent of California voters most likely to turn out in elections. The Latino vote has the widest voter gap of all races in California. Should they harness this voting power, their control over California would be virtually unlimited.
While seven in 10 white likely voters are age 45 and older (68%), a majority of Latino likely voters are under age 45 (55%). Latino likely voters (35%) are less likely to have a college degree than Asian (67%), white (58%), and black (44%) likely voters. Latino (27%) and black (31%) likely voters are also less likely to live in households with annual incomes of $80,000 and higher, compared to white (42%) and Asian (50%) likely voters.
Six in 10 Latino likely voters (61%) are Democrats, 20 percent are Republicans, and 19 percent are registered as independents (“decline‐to‐state”) or with a third party. White voters are somewhat more likely to be registered as Republicans than as Democrats (42% to 38%), and black voters are overwhelmingly Democratic (75%).
