Ridgecrest, California

California’s population of American citizens is quickly being replaced by millions of illegal aliens. In spite of the rapid increase of illegal invaders to the state during the Biden Administration, schools are closing due to declining enrollment, hundreds and hundreds of businesses have fled the state, and the economic outlook for the “fourth largest economy in the world” continues to deteriorate. Here’s a shortlist of recent bad news for the state:

Who Cares About Ridgecrest?

Apparently, Rob Bonta does. Calling the lack of affordable housing in California a “state of emergency”, Attorney General Rob Bonta says that Ridgecrest, California is in violation of the state’s “housing element” law.

Since 1969, the Housing Element Law required local governments to plan for about 2.5 million additional homes statewide to meet housing needs at all income levels.

Where is the state going to plant over 2.5 million illegal immigrants, all of them eligible for free health insurance via MediCal and a free education in the public school and community college system?

The Housing Element Law is a modern-day version of forced racial-immigrant integration in a command and control, socialist economy, with the state dictating the terms of housing development for every city and county in the state. None of the development in housing will be market driven, and most of it will be “affordable” for the lowest common denominator, i.e. poor immigrants yearning to live the good life in America. Of course, the businesses that stay in California will be more than happy to undercut the wages of American workers if they can hire illegal immigrants instead.

Enacted in 1969, California’s Housing Element Law requires every city and county to adequately plan to meet the housing needs of all residents. Instead of forcing local governments to build houses directly, the state law requires governments to update zoning and land-use policies so the private market can build enough housing to meet demand.

“I’ve said before, and I’ll say it again, we are in a state of emergency in California when it comes to housing production,” state Attorney General Rob Bonta said Thursday at a press conference in San Francisco. “We need to build more housing immediately, and no single local jurisdiction, no city, no county is responsible for building all of the housing that we need in California. But every city, every county is responsible for building some of the housing that we need.”

One way to address this emergency would be mass deportation of all illegal aliens. Under the Trump Administration, some relief for the housing affordability crisis has been realized with the deportation of over 3,000,000 illegal aliens, many of them violent criminals. Crime statistics for murder and assault are already showing positive results.

Aside from the fact that all these immigrants are crowding out American workers and American-owned small businesses, the rapid increase in homelessness is most certainly exacerbated by Biden’s policy that allowed illegals using Mexican and South American drug cartels and NGO’s (and their human trafficking networks) to enter the country.

Low-income American workers have received the full destructive impact of the discriminatory policies of DEI. Addiction to drugs and alcohol has been evident by deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans who are quite literally hopeless, homeless, unemployed males who have been dying in the streets in record numbers.

Ridgecrest is not immune from these problems, evidenced by the large number of Fentanyl overdoses that occurred during the Biden years as well as the large number of illegals working in the hotels and the restaurants.

Ridgecrustaceans believe that because Ridgecrest is located in a remote part of the Mojave Desert, the social ills that have afflicted the entire state won’t affect them. They believe that they live in a bubble of economic security, with the warm bosom of the Navy’s cash flow protecting them, but it doesn’t mean that the city is insulated from the crime and degradation caused by the state’s sanctuary policies.

Because Ridgecrest has the dubious distinction of being one of the most “affordable” housing markets in the state, the city has become a favorite destination for parolees and Section 8 voucher holders. It’s also the home city for over 4,000 federal civil service employees working for the Department of War. Half the population is poor, and the other half is overpaid government workers.

Any leaders of the community who claim to have a vision for the future of Ridgecrest must accept that there is nothing on the horizon that will change the fact that economic malaise and depression isn’t just a possibility in Ridgecrest, it’s baked in the cake.

And then there’s that “birth tourism” and “birthright citizenship” problem…

MIKE DAVIS: Dissecting the Supreme Court’s ‘birthright’ betrayal

This decision destroys what it means to be an American. It ranks among the court’s very worst, alongside Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857) and Roe v. Wade (1973).
Justice Samuel Alito warned in dissent, “This is one of the most important decisions in the history of the Court, and in my judgment, the Court has made a serious mistake.”
Justice Alito is a gentleman. This was more than a serious mistake. John Roberts’ disastrous decision, joined by the court’s four women, could be fatal for our country.
