The last time I looked going to a restaurant is not a protected constitutional right!
Usually, politics aren't on the menu at the Red Hen, Wilkinson says. "I’m not a huge fan of confrontation. I have a business, and I want the business to thrive. This feels like the moment in our democracy when people have to make uncomfortable actions and decisions to uphold their morals."
That business was mired firmly in controversy Saturday, with trolls of both flavors clogging the Red Hen's Yelp page (which now has two stars), its reservation line, and even shouting from the sidewalk in Lexington.
The restaurant opted not to open Saturday night, writing in an email that "We would like to avoid exposing our patrons to any potential unpleasantness from outside entities."

What is it called when we have a state of disorder due to the presence of authority?

It harms our working poor, it harms our rich by needing higher taxes to pay for the added schools, welfare and crime, overall it harms our nation. These people tend to vote socialist too, they can't help themselves, they want to turn this place into just the place they came out of.

I visit California a lot for work, roughly a week every 2-3 months. I also have a significant number of friends there who I speak to. The state is doing great, cost of living is high but salaries are also high to match.

From outside entities...
....no responsibility for their own predicament
You know she was kicked out because she was part of the Trump administration, don't deflect and say this is universal.

mass migration from low iq nations.
You have made your position abundantly clear. To bring it back on topic, it is precisely this attitude that enables the administration to break families apart, and it is Sanders' defense of it that got her booted out of a restaurant. I hope it was a wake up call for her. She left the Trumposphere and discovered what real Americans feel about what is going on. She must now be aware of the Trump Curse: the closer you are to him, the more likely you will be indicted. The more you defend his actions, the less likely you will find gainful employment elsewhere. When she gets fired, her only options will be Fox and RT.

Not true, illegal immigration from Mexico peaked in 2004 for short term (under 5 years) residents, for long term (over 5 years) residents it peaked in 2009. It's been in decline since.

It broadens the tax base and creates more consumer demand. How they vote isn't relevant. They may not vote for what you would like, but that doesn't mean they're a negative to the country.

Is that why they are leaving in record numbers and moving to AZ?

Broadens that's not what cali is seeing, they're a burden and they're raising taxes on the wealthy to pay for the socialist utopia, all while the state suffers massive debt and growing unemployment.
