CALIFORNIA TWILIGHT: Essays and Memories of The End of The Golden State Kindle Edition

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 4 ratings

The Medical Director for Sacramento County's Indigent Services exposed a covert scheme putting illegal immigrants ahead of Americans. He was fired.

At the cusp of the Post-American Age...

In CALIFORNIA TWILIGHT: Essays and Memories of The End of The Golden State, journalist and author Mark Cromer makes his case that decades of political malfeasance and journalistic corruption of the American media helped upend the California way of life. Part reporter’s notebook, part memoir and eulogy to The Golden State by a second-generation native, CALIFORNIA TWILIGHT is a collection of fast-paced columns and in-depth essays that shine a light on California’s struggles to address illegal immigration, urban overcrowding, and seemingly unrelenting crime.

CALIFORNIA TWILIGHT introduces readers to characters like Dr. Gene Rogers, Sacramento County’s former Medical Director of Indigent Health Services, who was fired after he exposed a scheme allegedly set up to provide illegal immigrants healthcare services at the expense of the most impoverished American citizens.

Cromer also takes readers inside the chaotic City of Pomona, where police discovered a low-bid janitorial service that hired illegal immigrants to clean city hall, literally providing them keys and unfettered access to city resident records. Cromer argues the system that allowed illegal immigrants this kind of access is a symbol of the jettisoning standards and safeguards that are meant to protect American citizens and workers.

CALIFORNIA TWILIGHT offers a compelling warning to the rest of the nation—before it’s too late.

    California Twilight is a collection of insightful essays from reporter Mark Cromer on the changes made to the sunshine state in the wake of mass illegal immigration. His writing depicts the struggle masterfully and was a pleasure to read - even as it became impossible to evade the dire implications for the situation our country will be in in just a short time.

    Two particular essays in the book lingered with me for quite some time after reading. First, the essay ‘Hey Buddy, Can You Spare a Job?’ delivers an absolutely devastating account of what American citizens are facing when they are forced to compete with migrant labor even for unskilled jobs and the brazenly dismissive manner with which employers treat citizens seeking work.

    Next, the story of Dr. Gene Rogers, a decorated Vietnam veteran and MASH surgeon, who was fired from his position as the Medical Director for Sacramento County’s Indigent Services program after objecting to the county’s diversion of funds and resources meant for impoverished Americans to illegal immigrants instead.

    I really can’t recommend this book enough. Enlightening, dismal, filled with a love for California and a concern for the future. Everyone could benefit from reading it.

    California Twilight was an engaging read and powerful read about the coordinated and public destruction of the state of California, which has been aided, even lauded, by the press and both political parties. The writer, Mark Cromer, an old newspaper reporter, shows his journalistic prose in a series of insightful essays that detail the effects of mass illegal immigration and the effect that it has had on American citizens. I can't recommend the book enough.

    This is a pretty compelling read and it’s laid out in a series of columns and longer essays that are all single servings that highlight different aspects and impacts of mass immigration into California and the rest of the nation. What I found most fascinating was the author’s essay ‘Sacred Cows in the City of Angels’ that details his effort to have the professional press clubs in Los Angeles, of which he was a member, produce a panel discussion for reporters on how the issue of immigration was being reported in Southern California. He suggested it feature an emphasis on what professional ethical protocols should be considered when open-border activists and business interests label opponents as ‘racists.’ It’s a darkly funny read that reveals just how deeply corrupt and ideologically-driven the press corps already was even two decades ago, exposed by a writer who was working within it and sounding the alarm for years.
