Was watching an old movie last night, "The Grapes of Wrath". Got me to remembering. Back during the "dust bowl" days, wasn't there a time when California had police stationed at there state line/border to stop the "Okies" and other unemployed U.S. citizens from entering California?

I'm pretty sure I'm correct about that. My, my, how California has changed about unemployed immigrants....citizens or otherwise.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
