"How much does illegal immigration cost the state of California?"?
Why is no one in the state government asking this question? Is it because the Hispanic population has voting power now? should Mexico reimburse the U.S.since there are mayors in city's in Mexico along the boarder telling there people to go to the U.S. How much money does an illegal spend in the U.S.compared to what they send back to Mexico.
JARY: People need to know that not all these immigrants are criminals. my answer to that if they are here illegal they are criminals.
They are here for a reason. To escape the lousy government of Mexico to come to the great U.S.
The "Land of opportunity" ?My answer, Why do they fly the Mexican flags when they are protesting in California? Why not protest in Mexico.Does Cairo come to mind?
Letting you people know that these anti-immigration laws will not help
You will see that they will only hurt the U.S even more.My answer, most 3rd world countries have what in common? Over populated and no jobs.
Q Because illegal immigration actually brings money into the state, via improving the economy, payment of taxes, consumer purchasing, etc.My answer to that, Do they really pay taxes like you and me? They buy mostly from yard sale and swap meets, no taxes there. Food no taxes there.
BULLEYES Immigrants contribute to our economy by doing the jobs that Americans won't do, my answer to that.

Billions of dollars. From welfare, for the use food stamps for their children, that will benefit the parents, they will be the one spending this money on the whole family, the free healthcare they get, they do get section 8 housing in Calif , they bring in members of their family who are in the country illegally to live with them.They say illegals do the jobs citizens want do, but the moment they get hurt on the job or have any kind of health problems, it is then we the taxpayers have spend billions in giving free healthcare. No illegal working for $ 5.00 an hour can afford to pay hospital bills in the thousands. In the end it costs us the taxpayers much more money, than any illegal might pay in sales taxes.

Why do you think they are in debt? It's not what an illegal spends, it's what he takes, free health care, education, food stamps, etc.
