That's the main issue for me personaly. I don't care all that much if someone enters the country illegaly as long as they speak fluent english.
It is becoming more and more common here in Southern California to find employees who speak only Spanish. It's also very common to see jobs advertised in the paper requiring that you be bilingual.
A rental owner in California wanting to verify credit for a prospective renter can't ask for much in the way of identifying info. Our local Apartment Owners Assoc notified members the other day of new rules. You can no longer ask a rental applicant for a social security # or a driver's license because an
ILLEGAL immigrant might not have these and that would be discrimination. Instead you're advised to use other means of ID - e.g. a passport?
Good luck!!
No matter how many times we in California get propositions on the ballot to try to protect ourselves from the onslaught of
ILLEGAL immigration - and to date they have always passed overwhelmingly - they are overturned by the liberal judges of the California 9th circuit court - or simply declared unconstitutional and thrown into some kind of legal no mans land. The mayor of Los Angeles has declared LA as a sanctuary city. Meanwhile, our hospitals and schools are overwhelmed by
ILLEGAL immigrants and some hospitals have closed as a result.
Well that's my 2 cents fwiw, I'll get off my soapbox. Like you Aaron, I would move - just can't think of anywhere better. Like a lot of us on this forum, I'm open to suggestions.
