Fewer People Fleeing California!
Steven Greenhut: Wait until you read the spin in the newspapers about the good news: Fewer people are fleeing California for other states, although the state still lost 66,000 domestic migrants in 2011. Overall, the population is going up a bit thanks to immigration and births (mostly to immigrants). But taxpayers are still leaving California. Here is demographer and former Californian Wendell Cox’s latest analysis:

But that’s part of the problem. The illegal immigrants reproduce and drop their babies in America – then go on the dole – which is hurting the state – not helping it. The producers are leaving and the leeches remain behind. Why would a leech ever leave California? It provides the most generous welfare benefits in the country and recipeients aren’t even required to work to receive them like they would be in most other states. California is leech heaven. So rest assured that the leeches are departing. The producers are. A double whammy!!
Bingo! Steve, TAXPAYERS are still leaving California – big problem.
That’s my point, eck.
Why thank the immigrants?
Look at what the immigrants turned Santa Ana and Los Angeles into. Both are war zones and giant black holes for our tax dollars. For that we should thank them?
Why thank people for breeding and helping to bankrupt our cities and state?
My wife and I used to live in California. We are both engineers and made solid middle class income. But, we were paying well over $1000/month in income taxes alone. So, we moved to Texas. Cost of living is lower, income the same, and no state income taxes. Kind of a no-brainer.
