Do you mean that supporting Trump is a violation of the First Amendment? On the contrary, I only saw the Trump protesters trying to use violence against the supports to scare them away.

Let me share my perspective that why I support Trump.

I came from China and lived in the country side of the socialism country at my childhood. I remember that my family could not get sufficient food and warm clothes through the cold winter. And we were very grateful the the government assistance we received. As Deng Xiaoping became the leader of the country, he started to reform the economy to a market based one. We got panic when hearing about it. We thought we couldn’t survive as the government assistance went away. We were so used to being taken care of by our government that we don’t believe in our capability of surviving on our own.

Everyone now knows that the changes turn out much better than we expected. In the process, people got rewarded by working hard and got punished by their bad behaviors. I fortunately managed to be able to attend a top university in China, came to USA for graduate school and then took a job in software engineer. Most of my childhood classmates/friends was not able to go to college. Most of them dropped out of middle school and entered the work force as construction workers, or factory workers. I recently reconnected with many of them via WeChat, a popular social platform in China. Many of them are now doing very well as small business owner, construction contractors, electrical factory partners. These are the average guys and they are having a similar life style to folks here. I know them very well and they don’t get external assistance along the way.

As legal immigrants through H1b, we have to make sure to keep a job without a gap. When the companies lay off, we needed to make sure we find the next job in a week or 2. Otherwise, we were ready to pack up and go back to China. The H1bs pay all the federal, state income tax and social securities like others. But if they leave the country, they get nothing back. It took us 7 to 10 years to get a green card. The process is long and we earned the green card. When democrats were proposing to provide a citizen path to the illegal immigrants, it is unfair to all the legal immigrants.

With the observations, I generally believe in small government, competition by merit. On the other hand, I view the last decade of America is going to the wrong direction. Liberals in California are trying to make government do more and more. And the generous welfare programs will attract more illegal immigrants as free riders. They are trying to implement affirmative action in college admissions, private sectors. Everything about political correctness is not questionable. I personally do not feel that America is not the great country I would like to immigrate to. Trump is the only candidate that has the courage to speak out this. Everyone else is promoting or following the progressive agenda.

Personally, I have been a green card holder for 5 years. I am eligible to apply for US citizen this year. I was waiting for this day very long time and would apply for it soon enough. But now I actually want to hold off my citizen application because I think that the country goes to the wrong direction.

That is good to know. It will make me vote for her. As a legal immigrant, I supported Trump’s position on illegal immigration issue. This country is supposed to one where people follow laws, which is why I wanted to immigrate here.

I attended a meeting with Denise Gitsham in Sorrento Valley two weeks ago. Someone asked this question. She clearly said that she would not support Donald Trump.

[quote=AN]John Horst stated he supports Trump when I asked.
Denise Gitsham – I sent her Facebook page a message regarding her support for Trump with no reply. So, I’m assuming yes.

Which means I will be voting for Scott Peters.[/quote]

I have learned this bill for some time and have emailed and called my state assembly representative to vote NO on this bill.

Ed Hernandez sponsored similar bill, SB 185, in 2011. It was passed in both state senate and assembly but vetoed by Governor Jerry Brown. This time around, he is hope that with the 2/3 majority power of democrats, this bill can be presented to California voters to decide in November election.

This is a bill of race discrimination to me. Its ridiculousness is best illustrated by a comment I read here: http://capoliticalnews.com/2014/02/02/most-racist-bill-in-california-history-sca-5-by-democrat-senator-hernandez-forces-racism-as-criteria-to-entrance-to-uc-schools-limit-womens-enrollment-as-well/#IDComment796169378

I am very sad by this proposal. I am Korean adopted by a Hispanic family. Looks like all my siblings will get a better chance to get to college but me
. How stupid this is! I love my adoption family but this makes me sick to stomach.

[quote=Rt.66]Why on earth in today’s climate would you want to “compete” for a house?

The banks and Realtors are the only ones who can possibly come out winners.

Do a little research.[/quote]

In the recent months, I have made offers on over 10 houses in Mira Mesa. I generally looked at the house condition and recent sales and came up with my offer price. I did not look at the asking price at all. I got overbidden in almost all of them. And this is the only house that the final closing price is below my offer price. For most of them, the final sale price is 10k more than I offered.

My feeling is that you need to be very lucky to get the deal as good as it appears on the closing price. This pretty surprised me considering the current economic situations. When I sat on the sideline, I thought that this is buyer’s market and I would definitely get the house if I am willing to offer the listing price. But my experience told me otherwise.

I made an offer on this house at 9111 Penticton in Mira Mesa with 30% down. It went pending after on market for 2/3 days. I went to see the house on the first day it came to market. And during the time I was touring the house, 4 other groups came to visit.

And now the closing price is 15k less than what I offered.

I believe that there was something going on there. Can you check if this is an insider transaction?

Are you saying that even if we buy a house under both’s names, we can still file tax separately and my wife can get half of the tax credit? That is even better than I expected.
