I say theves who break into houses are violent, they hurt people and they should be locked away for 40 years.

I agree. Even though they haven't done anything violent just by breaking in, they've shown that they are willing to be violent by risking a confrontation with the homeowner. Both times we were burglarized, I have no doubt that the burglars would have not given a thought to doing something horrible to me had I caught them in the act.

We were home during one burglary, but they only stole tools out of the garage so we didn't know until late that night when my husband checked the garage before going to bed. If I had walked into the garage to do laundry or anything else while they were there, do you think they would have put everything down and said they just wanted to be friends?

The second time, I had only gone back to work that week from summer vacation (teacher), and they burglarized the house only about an hour before I got home. I came home to a house with the back door wide open. They could easily have still been upstairs. I doubt in this case that things would have remained non-violent had I been home an hour sooner, which I easily could have.

According to (Federation for American Immigration Reform) fairus.org "California authorities requested compensation from the federal government in FY'99 for the incarceration expenses for 11,236,513 days of detention for illegal aliens in state and local jails and prisons. The cost of the detention amounted to $615,860,143. . .FY'02 SCAAP [the federal State Criminal Alien Assistance Program] data indicate that California's illegal alien inmate population has increased by 31 percent from the 11,236,510 inmate days in FY'99 (to 14,682,285 inmate days in FY'02)."

[end excerpt]

It's likely many will be released and deported? Sure. Billions more besides law enforcement and prisons are spent on ILLEGAL aliens by the state. Locals together spend billions more. Schwarzeneger is not likely to touch a dime of the state money and the feds (you guys) are expected to bail out the California cities and counties such as the recent billion dollar federal bailout for ILLEGAL'S health care. The money saved on prisons will simply be drained from other untouchable portions of state and local programs. I bet. Maybe citizens and legal residents could be cut off?

Some political cartoonist called it, Sinkhole de Mayo.
