How bout those of us who live in California who have had to endure the increased spending and borrowing, the expansion of the rights of deviants and the erosion of property rights.
Don't those count?
Absolutely.
However, I think that normalizing illegal immigrants by giving them CDLs, financial aid, and health care is the single most important factor in determining the long term welfare of this state. We'll have a tidal wave from Mexico and it will get very, very bad here (see Maywood X 1000). Angelides will welcome the invaders with open arms.
With the other issues, I think we can eventually undo the damage. I don't think we can as easily recover if we're swamped with the hostile minions of a foreign power.
My two cents.
