Concentrating the illegals in one area should make mass deportation easier

If California is so environmentally friendly they should let that area go back to nature. Make everyone living there go live in the valley.

What in the hell do you think all of us are trying to do???

If they want to emigrate to the US, … fine, but do it legally

If they want to come here to earn money for their families, … fine, but do it legally

Either way, those of us trying to provide for our loved ones should not have the government’s hands in our pockets in order to support ILLEGAL migrants in our towns and cities.

So fresh. Thanks, we needed that.

The permitting is going to be fun to watch


And the coastal commission is involved too. He went on an epic rant yesterday on his podcast. He mentioned that it would probably be three years from when they applied for the permit until the first load of lumber gets dropped off.

quote:

“You guys all voted for Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles. You all voted for Gavin Newsom, and now you fricking get what you get, now that your house is on fire. So here’s what’s going to happen,” Carolla said. “All these people who are deep blue Democrats are now going to have to pull a permit to rebuild, and they’re going to get the 28-year-old bitch from the Coastal Commission telling them to go frick off, and then they’re going to vote for Trump or whoever’s Trumpian next.”


quote:

“When they start getting the regulation, they’re going to go nuts. And when they start running into the bureaucracy and the red tape, they’re going to start going nuts and they’re going to vote for Rick Caruso next time. They’re going to find out they’re going to get bit by their own snake. They’re going to convert,” he said. “I am telling you, these are the bluest people on the planet, and they’re going to be fricking rip shite pissed when the City and the Coastal Commission tell them to frick off.”

We may see the billionaire class swoop in and buy all the property destroyed, especially the stuff that isn't insured / covered where people can't pay to rebuild from scratch.


This will definitely happen. Probably already is. Developers will be buying up blocks of property.

There was a time where a guy like me who is a small time contractor could head west and have great opportunity to make some money, hell even if just working on framing crews. The demand would be high, and skilled laborers who were citizens, trustworthy and spoke English could have a real opportunity.

Now, California is bogged down by incompetence, onerous regulations, slow permitting processes and mountains of tax. People that play by the rules are punished and illegals cut the legs out of the opportunities of Americans because they can work for dirt cheap(because they dont pay income taxes and dont mind living in squalor).

They’ve lost 9000 structures. That is less than a quarter of new housing starts in DFW alone. Not many are relocating for a six month run.

Perfect opportunity to build a wall on the California border.

No need for deportation

I'm prepared to cede coastal California.

Are the Americans they're undercutting for jobs people who are just trying to do better for themselves and their family?

I think this will be a Blackrock or other corporation buy up for pennies on the dollar.

Natural disasters result in higher insurance which results in taking private ownership away.

shite.... Makes Tom Holman's job much easier!! He can assign a team and they make weekly runs. Hell, they even use the captured illegals building houses to build a holding camp for their brothers! Love it when a plan comes together!!


It hasn’t been hard to find them literally for decades in Texas. Texas hasn’t had a Democrat win a statewide election in 30 years. Ken Paxton sues and arrests everyone and their mother but how many cases have you seen brought in Texas against companies that hire illegal aliens? I mention this because I think illegal immigration is a great platform to run and raise money on but I doubt they do much of anything. They will definitely round up some felons, but they aren’t going to kill the golden goose for many businesses that is cheap immigrant labor. Mar a Lago had illegal immigrants on staff.

There will literally be a shortage of lumber and concrete in this country as everything will be focused upon the SoCal rebuild.
Carolla says 3 years just to pull permits.

Don’t worry. It will be five years dealing with California bureaucracy to get the necessary permits to rebuild those houses. The permit will not move along uniformly, but with fits and jogs. In other words, they won’t all be being done at the same time.
