California Spends $10 billion Yearly On Illegals & It Has A $5 billion Deficit This Year. What should be done?
Answer:
Stop paying for illegal activity
Umm... we could try building a big fence to keep them out?
lol run em all back to mexico
California needs to be sold to Japan. Californians believe in a magic fairy world where property taxes never increase, tution is near free, and anyone and everyone can come on over accross the border and go on the dole. Oooops! How are we gonna pay for this????? No worrry, Uncle Sam (meaning the rest of the US) will. This is why LA is now a cess pool.
Ask to Arnold Schwarzenegger if that's true. He knows the answer to your question better than you do
Get rid of Schwartzenagger.Throw out all the Illegal aliens and block the border, but that will not happen because of all the nuts that live there
I'm just happy our esteemed govenator plans on spending another $2 billion on giving these criminals even more free services, for those of you who don't know what i'm talking about hes planning a "Universal Healthcare System"..... great..... i know we all love taxes.
What Swarzenegger thinks should be done is to create a much bigger health care program covering illegal immigrants and their kids, apparently. He is to announce it Monday. The Republicans are needed on any funding bills, though, and they say he may as well not bother.
stop spending on those illegal aliens. quit giving them welfare and free medical, ship them all the hell outta here.
The U.S. doesn't even take cae of it's own but if your an immigrant you can get any damn thing you want. that is fucked up. They all needto be legal and speak english or get the hell outta dodge!!!!!!!!!
Good It is time the mexiczans pay their way for living here and that means conform .
blah blah blah why dont u ask a better question like why is america speding billions in iraq when there are schools that need to be fixed in america, they could offer better school lunches too, we need to step up on education cuz the japanese are starting to out do us, we used to be on top now we arent
bush should stop going on holiday as much and give more money to the people illegal or not. Humans should help each other out
the answer is simple when you think about it logically or ethically-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

[edit] Revenue
Agriculture (including fruit, vegetables, dairy, and wine) is a major California industry. In 2004 agriculture brought in $31.8 billion in revenue, making it more than twice the size of any other state's agriculture industry. In fact, California is the world's fifth largest supplier of food and agriculture commodities.[1] Agriculture accounts for just slightly over 2% of California's $1.55 trillion gross state product.

* light manufacturing including computer hardware and software, and the mining of borax.
California also draws significant revenue from international trade and tourism. The exports of goods made in California totaled $94 billion in 2003.[2] Nearly $40 billion of that total was computers and electronics, followed by agriculture, non-electrical machinery, transportation, and chemicals.[3] Total direct travel spending in California reached $82.5 billion in 2004, a 7.4% increase over the preceding year.[4] Los Angeles County receives the most tourism in the state.[5]
Historically, California's economy has been controlled by huge corporations such as the Southern Pacific Railroad, Standard Oil of California and the Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

The GDP increased at an annual rate of 3.1% in the first quarter of 2005.[15]
[edit] Per capita personal income
Per capita personal income was $33,403 as of 2003, ranking 12th in the nation. Per capita income varies widely by geographic region and profession. The Central Valley has the most extreme contrasts of income, with migrant farm workers making less than minimum wage. While some coastal cities include some of the wealthiest per-capita areas in the U.S., notably San Francisco and Marin County, the non-agricultural central counties have some of the highest poverty rates in the U.S. The high-technology sectors in Northern California, specifically Silicon Valley, in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, are currently emerging from economic downturn caused by the dot.com bust, which caused the loss of over 250,000 jobs in Northern California alone. Recent (Spring 2005) economic data indicates that economic growth has resumed in California, although still slightly below the national annualized forecast of 3.9%. The international boom in housing prices has been most pronounced in California, with the median property price in the state rising to about the half-million dollar mark in April 2005.
[edit] Tax burden
California's overall tax burden of $10.66 per $100 of personal income is slightly above the $10.43 average for the United States.[16]
[edit] Housing
The international boom in housing prices has been most pronounced in California, with the median property price in the state rising to about the half-million dollar mark in April 2005. Orange County and the San Francisco Bay Area have the highest median prices, each approaching $650,000 in August 2004.[17] The least expensive region is the Central Valley, with a median price of $290,000.[18]
Various real estate markets in California are currently considered to be in a housing bubble.
i wonder how much california spends on welfare for LEGAL citizens that are too damn lazy to get a job!
I think California's going to have to brace the voters with the need to make A Decision, where illegal immigration is concerned, and raise taxes to pay their own debts.
deport all illegals
