SB1070 Bad for Los Angeles – Good for Arizona – Part 2 ( I have no clue where Part 1 is)
The Los Angeles Unified School District has 617,798 K-12 students. Nearly 75% are illegal aliens or the children or grand-children of illegal aliens. California and US Taxpayers spend $13 Billion a year, every year, to warehouse the students. The City of Los Angeles has about 4 million residents. The average Mexican household has about 5 persons.
The County has an official unemployment rate of 12.3%, the true rate is much higher. 20% of the County residents are on welfare, projected to grow another 12.7% this year. 11% are over age 65. More than 1/3 were born in a foreign country. Most telling of all, we have more than 2,300 people living in the average square mile. In the 1950s new houses were sold on quarter acre lots; 3 bedrooms, 2 baths 1,600 square feet with plenty of room to expand. There were many larger homes on larger lots. These were for the average working stiff.
Los Angeles is a mess, it simply cannot absorb an additional 500,000 residents this year. To put it in perspective, that is nearly as many people that were displaced by hurricane Katrina but without the nationwide relocation assistance provided by the Federal Government. These 500,000 aren’t going to be given housing spread-out from New York to San Diego. They will be headed to Cities where the local government does not enforce immigration laws. Los Angeles is the closest and the largest.
These illegal immigrants will bring higher crime rates to Los Angeles. 38% of the California State Prison population is Hispanic.
One million County residents live in unincorporated areas. One can expect a large percentage of the immigrants to relocate there rather than deal with a local police department that does enforce immigration laws. This means massive influxes to places like Ladera Heights, Windsor Hills, Lennox, Athens, Walnut Park, Willowbrook, West Compton, West Carson, East Compton, East LA, West Whittier, South Whittier, Hacienda Heights, Rowland Heights, North El Monte, East San Gabriel, East Pasadena, well, you get the picture. The County is dotted with unincorporated areas which are patrolled by the Sheriff’s Department, more or less.
