My younger sister lived in Hillcrest in the 90's. One night while walkng back to the house after a beer run, several dudes on a balcony at a party started whistling catcalls at us. I assumed it was college dudes whistling at my 18 y/o sister, and to be a goofball said "that was for me".Ana Ng wrote:I love that little town.trev wrote:Besides, I've been hanging out in Hillcrest a lot this summer.

When Prince William County, VA decided to scare away hispanics (legals and the illegals they charged out the ass to live with them, sometimes 20 per 4 bedroom home) they moved. It exacerbated the already fucked housing market AND took a lot of local revenue away.
My house value went down, property taxes went up. Ironically, to train the police in the proper methods of scaring illegals away and to pay for gas of the stepped up patrols.
So ...
Protect the border. Swear the ones already here in as citizens and be done with it.

The majority of their purchases are food, which of course is untaxed. What little sales taxes they do pay go to the city and county they live in, yet the freebies they live off of are largely provided by the state or federal gov't. One of the many reasons CA's budget is so fucked is that all of the free services we give to our 2 million illegals are provided at a loss.
Personally I have no problem with letting CA illegals that don't have a criminal record and have a valued work skill set (even ag work) become citizens, provided they learn English and stop rooting for the Dodgers.

Of course, but this is California.

Otherwise you get all of the advocacy groups screaming that they're only targeting hispanic neighborhoods, and they're profiling, etc, etc, et-fucking-cetera.

Let me help you out, Gomer Pyle: every piece of substantive legislation passed will identify the grant of power which gives authority to pass the legislation, then will identify the reason for the legislation.

What? Did you think big law firms were going to be lined up after you graduate to hook you up with a hot shit six figure salary job?
You'll be lucky to make half of what Wags makes ten years after you leave school assuming that you're even working as a lawyer after ten years. The last thing anybody needs these days is another lawyer. I wouldn't be sneering at forklift operators and DeVry tech school grads if I were you. They'll be out-earning you for decades. How are your table waiting skills? You'll be needing a second job. Maybe SM can hook you up as an assistant jizz mopper.

Dumbass......the ABA's own stats show that there are 1.1 million people with JD's, but the federal govt has stats that show that only about 765K people reported income earned as a lawyer. Go find those 340K people and ask THEM about the odds of success in law school.
When you gamble on law school, you have at least a 30 percent chance of failure. And that is just looking at those who have gone to law school in the last 40 years. In recent years the profession has become so overcrowded that the odds of failure have gone up dramatically. And then you throw in the holocaust in legal hiring over the last year. And who knows when or if that will ever go back to normal. For the foreseeable future, the next 10 years or so, if you go to a 2nd tier school or lower, without having a relative who has a successful firm, unless you finish top 5 percent, your chances of failure as a lawyer are at least 50 percent.
