Official synopsis Publisher
At the cusp of the Post-American Age…
CALIFORNIA TWILIGHT: Essays And Memories Of The To The End Of The Golden State gives readers the inside scoop of how decades of political malfeasance and the shortcomings of the American media helped upend the California way of life. Part reporter’s notebook, part memoir and part 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.
In CALIFORNIA TWILIGHT, veteran journalist and investigator Mark Ray Cromer introduces readers to Americans 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 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 the city’s resident’s 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.
