A Must-Read Book

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

The author tells it like it is and pulls no punches in terms of the effects of immigrants--both legal and illegal--on the way of life in California. He grew up in the Central Valley of California and lived in an area with a large Hispanic population. The attitude of some of these immigrants seems at times to be entitlement. We're here, so take care of us now. The author is quite intelligent and persuasive in his arguments warning that at the rate that things are changing in California due to the large influx of Mexicans that some day the state will become "Mexifornia". It is a great read and provides insight into the problems from an individual who has the background and experience to bring a credible account of this experiment underway.

A great state ruined

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book provides a great explanation of a state legislature in the name of diversity, corruption from corporate dollars, and for the purpose of votes destroys all that was good about California. This book gets into details of everyday life and how it has morphed into the culture of another one in the San Joaquin Valley. It is not the fault of the immigrants. It is the fault of Federal and state governments allowing it to happen. The hypocrisy of groups like La Raza is very well explained and revealed.

Both Sides of the Problem

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

The book is well written and what impressed me the most is that the whole immigration problem is looked at from the perspective of the aliens as well as the existing residents of California. According to the author, one of the biggest problems we currently face with illegal immigration is the refusal of nearly all of the immigrants to assimilate to the American way.

I'll leave you with one small section of one of the last chapters in the book to give you a glimpse of the contents:

"If Mexico had not been contiguous to the United States, if migration had only come in the thousands, not the millions, if self-proclaimed advocates on campus and in the media had been honest and responsible folk, and if this had remained an America of the melting pot rather than the separatist culture of the 1980s and 1990s, then, I think, we would have fewer problems with race, culture, and immigration. But that is a lot of ifs."

Too bad the gang-of-eight senators currently working on immigration reform don't take the time to read this book and understand the contents.

Victor David Hanson ROCKS

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

I read all the time and have over 50 political books but I respect this authors opinion higher than most.
I enjoy his comments on FOX News and under stand him more since I read this book. It explains where he grew up and his brilliant perspective of the hoars of poor and illiterate socialists from the south of the boarder. ( Not the tacky motel on the Carolina state line)
Read this an LEARN A LOT

Wonderful Book!

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a very well written book which deals with a problem we face today: immigration. What do we do with people who are flooding into our country? Even though it was written years ago, it is still relevant today.

Mexifornia's "Twenty Years Later" chapter adds content for Chapter 10 of "California Madness"

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

The new "Twenty Years Later" chapter in the 2021 edition is perfect timing for my latest sapient conservative textbook "California Madness: A SAPIENT Being’s Guide to the State’s Recall, Leftist Policies & Progressive Downward Spiral" to be published one week ahead of the Governor Newsom recall election on September 14, 2021. This latest edition provides the introduction and primary content for Chapter 10 - Mexifornia: Why the State's Largest Ethnic Group is Falling Behind the Others." Victor Davis Hanson is one of California's favorite sons and has the sapience (and courage) to tell it like it is without bias or false narratives.

Must reading for all concerned.

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

Well written. Well thought out and with plenty of personal references to nail down the changes that are occurring in California by not only legal but illegal immigration. Although the book is now a decade behind, it is right on and should be required reading for every California legislator and member of congress. Whether the state or the nation can do anything to stop this influx is unknown at this moment by the electorate, but reproduction rates and the use of social services are not unknown. This nation must find a way that is humane, socially responsible, and yet adheres to the laws of our land.

Assimilation and Illegal Immigrants

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

"Mexifornia," authored by Victor Davis Hanson and published in 2003, examines and succinctly puts forward the negative societal changes taking place in California and the U.S. Southwest at that time due to massive unfettered illegal immigration. His conclusions as to the future results of this unfettered illegal immigration have become quite evident today in 2020. I've long admired Victor Davis Hanson as a very wise man who is able to make sense of current events and then clearly present those views in understandable language. I was so pleased to find this book about "Mexifornia" on Amazon.
