And precisely because of immigration.




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?




Focus. Stop pretending you do not speaka, just to tickles gweggy's fancies.




"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.

Exactly.
Almost nothing from the and of WWII until the 60s.

Then Ted Kennedy and Prez Johnson lied and America, and the West, has undergone a profound demographic change, a replacement:


Senator Ted Kennedy was a key champion of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (Hart-Celler Act), which abolished national-origins quotas that favored Northern Europeans. As a floor manager in the Senate, Kennedy argued for fairness and predicted the law would not fundamentally change the nation's ethnic mix, despite its transformative impact.

Oh? California was inhabited solely by Spaniards, Zapatistas and little tinted chappies until 1848, dear boy.

Yes, 1848 - the same year Europeans revolted, chucked out their deplorables and sent them packing for the New World.

Gotta dream boy
Gotta song
Paint your wagon
Come along

Mormor's stöllen
Miam miam
Send you packing
Back to where you come from

And it emerged from sombreroed stupefaction and obscurity and became 'California, USA'.

The rest of the Mexico and Central America remained stupefied backwaters under mustashoid swarthies.

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.


"California employers announced 173,022 job cuts from January to November, up nearly 14% from the same period last year, according to the latest monthly report from outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. "

https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2025-12-04/california-hammered-as-nationa...

That sounds healthy, NOT. Roll Eyes

higher inflation than the national average? That doesn't sound good either.

Residential electricity prices higher than the national average. An 8% rise on last year. That doesn't sound good. It imports more than 20% of its electricity. Despite all its wind turbines it imports far more wind from other states. Plus they import all their coal.

So tell us where the good news is hiding. Roll Eyes

So, scrap all that krap about zero immigration. How to outbreed the mustachioed swarthies, that's the ticket.

Turns out you now favour mass migration after all, no?

His "thoughts" are thoroughly pedestrian, along with a hop, skip and a jump. All  over the place.


And yet, you have nothing to say on such thoughts.

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.


No quote bombs, no whatabout-thats, no they're-all-as-bad-as-each-others, nothing. Not a peep. Do you know what you are, Lee?

You're a bit of a princess. I mean this in the nicest possible way, no?

No, I want to know when you were last in California and what your views of the place were.

Short answer, please.

We/us are quite happy to go for a walk, dear boy. We're more than comfy going for a ride too.

You?
