    “Residency?”” Illegals shouldn’t be here AT ALL! I am sick to death of that communist idiot in Sacramento destroying this State with illegal alienism, licenses for them so that they will now murder more of us with vehicles and all else, and all the other crap he’s doing to us to make us into north mexico. I’m getting out as soon as possible.
