California spends 18 billion a year on services to illegals. Of course, they won’t cut this they will cut services to the taxpayers or raise taxes.
No, that's the downside of creating a dependent population, you can't dismount the tiger.
...they will cut services to the taxpayers or raise taxes.
Right about that too. If they don't get the money from the U.S. taxpayer and can't borrow it, they'll get it from the Kali taxpayer. Unlike the feds, they can't print it.
So yes, progressives who think that by creating a dependent population they've created obedient slaves may find out that they've created masters instead. The Europeans are finding this out with respect to their own immigration issue. Tough to climb down from that tiger because he's enjoying the ride.

California sends more money to the Feds than ever flows from the feds back to California. same for New York. If they want to shelter Illegals and pay for them out of their own pocket, what’s it to you?
