"It was better before they came"

What, you might ask, is the title? Is that the latest racist xenophobic comment from one of those anti-immigrant racists? Why, yes it is. And, even worse, that racist comment is engraved in stone and stands outside a Metrolink Rail Station in Baldwin Park, CA.

Now, based on the last sentence, you can probably figure out that the monument is to racism of the politically-correct variety. Not only does it contain the titular phrase, but the end of this poem:

This land was Mexican once
was Indian always
and is.
And will be again.

Details and pictures here.

It's ok for us to illegally migrate to their territory, but it's not ok for them to illegally migrate to our territory.

Bullcrap. California was never owned by Mexico, it was owned by Spain. The indigenous peoples of California are not in any way related to the Mestizo mexicans.
