We stopped allowing them to immigrate here in the early 2000's and shoot 
them on sight at the Colorado/Utah border.

They're easy to spot... overloaded 2WD mini-vans and SUV's with 
"spinner" wheels and four kids in the back all playing gaming consoles 
or DVD's on separate 12" LCD screens.

We found that their propensity for purchasing cardboard houses that were 
$100-$200K overpriced for their size and construction quality, so they 
could avoid taxes on selling their similarly overpriced houses in 
California, wasn't helping our housing market any.

We recommend they stay in California and enjoy the annual weenie roast 
combined with the ground-shaking bass of the kids in their rice-boy cars 
that have been lowered to the point where a speed bump is a serious 
obstacle... oh wait, that wasn't bass, that was an earthquake... sorry, 
I get those two mixed up.
