You probably did a Google Maps search on, "Ontario, CA" and it will come up
Canada. Do a search using Ontario, California, and it will come up with the
right place, and, in fact, the airport is in the pic. But the only reason I
say anything (I'm sure you've got it by now) is that I was there for a year
working on the command and control car for the mobile MX, when all contracts
were cancelled, so I saw a lot of people suddenly without jobs. Another
piece of trivia is that the last steel mill in California was shut down, and
before it was shipped, in pieces, to the far east, they filmed Terminator II
there. So the future Governator was well aware of the conditions - one of
the reasons he chose to run. But California is still exporting commercial
jobs, and only hiring prison guards, and teachers to assist in the
betterment of our southern neighbors, who are temporarily at the airport.

>> Ontario Tent City Residents To Be Kicked Out Monday
>>
>> ONTARIO, Calif. -- Each day at an Ontario homeless encampment,
>> hundreds of people line up for meals or whatever food local churches
>> and volunteers may bring, KNBC's Mary Parks reported.
>>
>> "They're in a survival mode," said volunteer Paul Varner. "All they
>> can think about is the safety and out of the weather."
>>
>> During the last six months, more than 400 homeless people have pitched
>> tents near Ontario Airport, creating a "tent city" that sprawls across
>> vacant lots and side streets.
>>
>> For many people, it was shelter from the elements and better than
>> sleeping under bridges.
>>
>> By Monday, anyone who can't verify they are locals will be bused to
>> the cities they came from, Parks reported.
>>
>> Tent city resident Akimi Onyemes said his official residence is
>> Riverside.
>>
>> "You're busy all day, dealing with dirt, trash, going to fetch water,"
>> Onyemes said.
>>
>> Of the 400 people, about 140 have been documented as locals.
>>
>> Patty Barnes said she couldn't pay rent after her husband died, so she
>> was evicted and walked to Ontario from Fontana.
>>
>> "All I want is a little help. I get $800 a month disability. You can't
>> find a place for that. It's not possible," Barnes said.
>>
>> "Why is this happening?" said Upland resident Edna Silver, who stopped
>> by to donate blankets. "It shouldn't be happening. We're one of the
>> richest countries in the world and we've got people living here --
>> like this."
>>
>> By Monday, those allowed to stay will be issued wristbands and offered
>> county services to get back on their feet.
