Fly to Mexico, speak Spanish, make yourself an undocumented alien. Presto, $150,000 in down payment help from the People's Republic of California. Satire Alert.
Your column might be satire, but as drama, it is a tragedy. It is criminal how these Left Coast governments will provide massive amounts of taxpayer dollars to people simply because they came here illegally. While your character is fictional, it is a good reminder that people are rational economic actors and will take advantage of incentives while avoiding disincentives. What do California's people expect the response to be to this new incentive for uninvited aliens? By the way, Happy Birthday.
In all honesty, the character in my satire wasn't entirely fictional. I know young veteran fathers in that very situation who joke about becoming illegal aliens to get what they can't from their own government.

Funny, not funny. Spot on. Our CA home is on the market - just can’t do it anymore. No way up there at this point.
Thank you for that comment, I agree, and best wishes on your migration to America.
Aloha Kelly - another grand-slam against radical progressive liberals! But I’m wondering if we should do the same. 🤪😉😉
