There are several other States with large populations as well. To deal with illegals in any State, start prosecuting the people that knowingly employ illegals. No. More. Problem.


There are those whom believe (or act as if) it's 1900 again. The USA is the Manufacturing/Export Powerhouse of the World; with a Big Demand/Need for Labor & it's the Land of Golden Opportunity. All US citizens live like Rockefellows & is a Utopia for all here. So the rest of the world "Follows the yellow brick road to the land of OZ". Mainly because the prevailing consensus is "Once your IN, you won't be deported"


Regarding "1900" all over again, "The California Alien Land Law of 1913 (also known as the Webb–Haney Act) prohibited "aliens ineligible for citizenship" from owning agricultural land or possessing long-term leases over it, but permitted leases lasting up to three years.[1] It affected the Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and Korean immigrant farmers in California."

The Supreme Court ruled it in violation of the 14th amendment in 1952.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
