What's wrong with California, Lee?

You mean like closing down fossil fuel extraction, importing all the fossil fuels, hitting the remaining fossil fuel outlets with bigger taxes, then forcing them to stay open, blaming wildfires on climate change rather than their cutting back on control of fuel, Closing down one of their dams and then blaming climate change for the lack of water to fight fires, the net emigration from California, huge rises in taxes? Those kind of things? And don't forget the Moss landing Fire of the BESS batteries - close to houses and schools.

No, I mean being a sunny, fabulous state with nice beaches, vineyards and forests, along with having the largest economy in the US.

California and Californians remind me a lot of us east coast Aussies, but do you know?

Globally, if California was a national economy, it would be the fifth largest in the world, one behind Germany.

Seems to me all that action on renewable energy's having some good.

Cheers, big ears.

Hollywood and Silicon Valley. Not wind turbines and solar panels.

You tell Lee that, old boy. I could not agree more.

California might have grown under the Spaniards on sun, oranges and grapes, but add the multicultural soft power of Hollywood and Silicon Valley, and it's the biggest economy in the Americas - by far.

And precisely because of immigration.

That's California, and that's us. How do we know?

You.

Legal tinted immigration?

Come come. The old boy won't even truck with Calabrian Dagos.

Can you imagine a statefull of Aztec Spics and Jungle Jims?

Slavery ended far too soon, remember. And yet, the Californian economy is up there with the Krauts.

California uber alles, no?

Not because of Somalia, Paki, Haitian, Afghan, Guetamalan immigration.

The US grew to preeminence in the 20th century while it had virtually no immigration.

If immigration was really key to any economic development then Korea, Japan China, Singapore would be inexplicable.

The economic value of mass migration is grossly overstated to cover the serious social damage indiscriminate mass migration has done to every Western country that succumbed to it.

Oh, I see. So California had no immigration, is it?

Cunning. None of it happened, dear boy. Cortez, the Spanish Empire, the Mexican American war, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the Gold Rushes, the Transcontinental Railroad, the Oklahoma Land Rush, the California Land Grab, two world wars, and on and on.

In 1984, Goldstein defines the future as a jackboot stomping on a human face.

So, I put it to you, dear boy: who's wearing the boot?

And who's lying splayed, legs in the air, howling for more?

Ah, Singapore. The most multicultural of all the colonies. Chows, Macassins, Dhobi-wallahs, Mustafas and Ceylon Sindhs.

Colonialism ended far too soon, no?

Once Mother left, they became the richest little backwater in the Far East.

Nay, old boy, me no speaka.

I prefer to sing.

Gotta dream boy
Gotta song
Paint your wagon
And come along

Where am I goin'?
I don't know
Where am I headin'?
I ain't certain
All I know
Is I am on my way

When will I be there?
I don't know
When will I get there?
I ain't certain
All that I know
Is I am on my way

Gotta dream boy
Gotta song
Paint your wagon
[And come along - Sung In German]

Verse sung in German]

"The US grew to preeminence in the 20th century while it had virtually no immigration."

The "Great Wave" (1900–1919): More than 14.5 million immigrants entered the United States in the first two decades of the 1900s. Between 1901 and 1920, the population grew by 39% to over 105 million, driven largely by this wave of immigration.

Post-1965 Resurgence: The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 replaced the national-origins quota system, leading to a new, major wave of immigration that increased to over 1 million people per year by the end of the century.

Do you mean the territory of Florida, purchased off Spain in 1821?

Or the colony of Cuba, "acquired" by Uncle after the Spanish-American war in 1898?

We decide who comes to our country and the manner in which they come, no?

No sir, he's got a song in his heart and a pocketful of dreams.
