[I confused the target of this article (Fontana) with Colton]

I think they are all confusing Colton with Fontana (Knicknamed decades ago as "Fontucky").

Fontana had a KKK presence which ended maybe 25 or thirty years ago.

I've not heard the same concerning Colton. I had a conversation with someone who was born in Colton before WWII about this article, Fontana was mentioned as formerly KKK, there was no memory with that person of Colton concerning the KKK. The person was a child of Mexican railway workers employed by Southern Pacific in Colton.

Both Fontana and Colton are now bastions of illegal immigration. Colton has a sign / monument on the La Cadena southern approach to the old Barrio south of the tracks which has a small reproduction of the Aztec "sun calendar" and a large inscription "Bienvenidos a Colton".

Taxis pick up groups of illegals hiding under the freeway on an old spur line crossing Valley east of La Cadena. All sorts of stuff concerning illegals goes on there.

Chavaria is pulling that KKK stuff out of his posterior, the gimmick of alleging racism because it used to work.
