Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger May 24, 2009State Capitol BuildingSacramento, CA 95814
Re: “Governor plans to completely eliminate welfare for families,”
 Los Angeles Times
,May 21, 2009Dear Honorable Governor Schwarzenegger,I read with interest the item posted on the online blog section of 
 L.A.Times.
Your proposal, if true as reported, will be “revolutionary” in employingthe State of California as the “testing water” for the across-the-board reform to controland substantially reduce the state budget deficit among other vexing fiscal issues.However, there will be repercussions and ramifications following theaction of your decision state-wide, especially in densely populated areas comprised of Caucasian, African-American, Hispanic and other races, with some areas significantlypopulated with Blacks such as South Central L.A. and Hispanic, legal and undocumented,in the encompassing area of Southern California.I will explain how the scenario
may
occur following the cuts in socialprograms related to welfare and higher education grant.
1.)
There will be an upsurge of violent, property and other acts of crimecommitted by the poor and economically disadvantaged “driven” to desperation whentheir dependence on welfare is cut off at the time of economic uncertainty and expensiveliving standard in terms of land value, particularly metropolitan and suburban areas, thatencompasses the state of California.If your
express
concern for the safety and security of good, diligent, hard-working citizens matters to secure the stability of the state after your cuts becomeeffective, you would have to call on the law enforcement forces to convene to organizeand prepare to control the potential crises arising from the sudden surge of crime inreaction to the abolishment of welfare, at least temporarily while you continue to serve inoffice until the end of your term.Despite your attitude towards the citizens’ gun rights (You stated onJoinArnold.com web site, which was published August 2003, “I am a strong supporter of the second amendment. The U.S. constitution allows for law-abiding citizens to own a
 
 
firearm.”), if you believe that good citizens have the right to self-defense in light of yoursweeping cut to control state fiscal matters, I offer a suggestion which you may or maynot disagree with.I suggest working towards the goal of establishing a
shall
-issue concealedcarry law for the good citizens by calling on the conservative Republican members of theCalifornia State Assembly to draft the bill that overhaul some existing gun control laws inreform and abolish or regulate the exercising power of county authority (sheriff or policechief) in “biased & selective” attitude towards concealed carry rights for the purpose of legit self-defense (i.e., prejudice against common good citizens’ reasonable need,favoritism towards celebrities in politics, entertainment and business industry, etc).This way the good citizens who hold the license will be able to walk without fear of violence imposed upon them for reason of hatred under economic distressand other regressive factors that transpire social disharmony reacting to the government’stightening of fiscal matters. Police may not be “legally” and “morally” obliged to protectthe good citizens of the public when the violence (i.e. riots) spiral out of control under thepressure of economic despair affecting the poor struggling to get by on state welfareprograms.You must understand such “radical” measure may incur an extreme socialoutcome that may be counterproductive to your plan to enforce absolute control of statefiscal for correction after enduring the disappointment at the rejection of your favoredpropositions by popular vote.
 2.)
The hundreds of thousands of illegal and undocumented immigrantsresiding in California, specifically Hispanic population, may migrate to nearby states inOregon, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah once their dependence on welfare for family support,financial assistance, food stamp, housing, et cetera is cut off as the result of your newpolicy that may remain effective until the end of your term to be rescinded by thesuccessor.Illegal and undocumented immigration is always a problem not only forCalifornia but also the surrounding states plus Utah, New Mexico and Texas. Perhaps anideal solution is to work on reducing the state fiscal indebtedness while organizing togather intelligence and prepare to apprehend undocumented aliens to imprisontemporarily and process the deportation to countries of origin
en masse
.By this method, many undocumented aliens will no longer be dependenton welfare programs that “drain” the fiscal strength of the state budget that may give riseto extreme measure to
eliminate by reduction
the unwanted “leeches” by the thousands upto half a million or more. The mandatory deportation irrespective of the undocumentedaliens’ rights to reside in California/U.S. ‘unlawfully’ (emphasis on ‘undocumented’;those who do not have the proof of a work visa, resident alien document and/or “green
 
 
card”) should be established with common sense in regards to the matter of human rightsand fiscal management devoted to reducing the population of undocumented aliens.Allocate some portion of the remaining money to build and tighten theborder between California and Mexico and vigilantly enforce the law at the ports and thecoast where the boats containing illegal aliens may sail to arrive.
 3.)
Should you choose to cut out Cal Grants completely, there will beexpected heat that might rise to mischief and violence among some destitute studentpopulation dependent on Cal Grants. You should urge them to “weather the storm” bydeferring education to obtain sustainable employment to create small savings towardseducation fund or apply to receive federal student aids and/or grants to continue educationuninterrupted until your term in office ends. Some students, faced by economic and“mental” desperation when their education is interrupted, may rise to unlawfulness thatwill require response by police forces to suppress the threat of mischief and violence.Good citizens should not be subject to belligerent behavior of angry students who mayresort to violence in response to economic despair and educational interruption because of idleness.I ask that you please consider the repercussion of the unprecedented cut innot only the history of California, but also the United States after the period of Lyndon B.Johnson Administration which introduced “The Great Society” with the welfare systemwhich may not have produced a desired result to rectify socio-economic problems butinstead create the deplorable system that fosters social and economic discord, dependenceand crime in the welfare state. This transpires the deleterious effect that saps the fiscalsystem of the state which is “forcedly” obliged to allocate excess amounts of state fundstowards welfare for the needy and often the idle who may possess negative attitudetowards the importance of work ethics as the able and productive contributor to thesociety. Such state funds should not go to the idle but the truly needy, the infirm and thedisabled.To reiterate, I am aware that based on your past preference for gun controlbecause you are a “peace-loving guy,” you may disagree with my suggestion to work onliberating California gun control laws pertaining to concealed carry (inscribed in theSecond Amendment “the right to keep and
bear 
arms shall not be infringed” andapplicable under 9th, 10th and 14th Amendments) for the good citizens who want toprotect self and property from unlawful forces by the criminal element intent on violationand intrusion with terrorist violence in riots and other perilous outcomes. Is
not 
self-defense paramount to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in vigilant defense of self,family, and property and enforce the rule of law with just force against the evil and illicitelements that cannot be curbed, controlled and suppressed by law enforcement in the jurisdiction of the cities and county?
