Summary: Will California have 40 million or 70 milion in 50 years?
Comment: Some 35 million people live in California, the fifth or sixth largest economy in the world. Yet it only took thirty years to bring it down to the present mess. In 150 pages, Dr. Victor Davis Hanson presents a meaningful picture of how this happened. From his book I have come to a better understanding of what has taken place and continues to this day.
This overwhelming invasion by illegals of the most populated state in the nation is well on the way toward "Mexifornia" unless something is done to change it. Hanson suggests four alternative solutions for Californians to consider. It is for them to decide.
I am concerned about the uncontrolled, massive illegal immigration that continues daily across our borders, aided and abetted by vote-seeking, self-serving politicians, especially in Sacramento. They seem not to care about the State of California as a whole.
Victor Hanson grew up as a white minority kid in Selma, near Fresno, where the other kids were mostly Hispanic. He knows how good it was then, learning about America, and how it has changed over the years. I bought the book after reading numerous reviews. The author was established and recognized. I haven't been disappointed.

Summary: This wave is different.
Comment: Victor Hanson combines scholarship (Professor at Cal State) with personal experience (life long resident and farmer in central CA. who has Mexican-American family and friends) to present a thoughtful look at the illegal Mexican immigration crisis. Hanson argues that the reason for this crisis is that both ends of the political spectrum have vested interests in continuing the unabated entry of illegal Mexicans. Republicans wish to placate business interests with cheap labor and Democrats hope for a future electoral base. Hanson further explains that this wave is not like the earlier waves of Polish, Jewish, or Italian immigration which was of a fixed duration and where the connection of the new immigrant to the Homeland was more thoroughly severed.
This book is well written and to the point (approx. 140 pages). I have also seen Victor Hanson on several political talk shows. He is well spoken and mild mannered which is a welcome relief from the cacophonous diatribe we too often get on cable news channels.

Summary: Racist paranoia from bigot
Comment: This book is one of the most offensive publications in years. While some say it is "informative" and the like, I can sum it up in 1 sentence.....the author hates all Latino people and has some delusional idea that California should lily-white. Maybe he should move to the neighborhood in New York where the "Friends" live?
