To complement a post earlier. For those who might doubt the reality of the staggering numbers of tax dollars being thrown at illegals....a huge travesty.

Yes, but it's ALL WORTH IT because we are blessed with cheap lettuce.

That is what the pols would have you believe...the actual cost per head of lettuce would probably put you into cardiac arrest.....argh!!!

"Yes, but it's ALL WORTH IT because we are blessed with cheap
fecal and hepatitis-contaminated lettuce."

Fixed it.

Since this article is based on what the Fairys at Fair say, does that mean it is a Fairy Tale?

For those of us in California, this is TEN percent of our entire state budget.

[Moonman62]

But the new Texas study says illegals pay for themselves many times over.

[Diogenesis]

Then it is time for you to adopt the Massachusetts-Romney plan
to give all the illegal aliens medical insurance and complete free college education, too.

Perhaps then it will assume THIRTY to FORTY percent of your state budget.

A "fairy" tale is something that happens in San Fran. -plenty of fairies there.

[conservative cat]

You forgot the fecal and e-coli contaminated green onions.

[dalereed]

Makes that Texas report out to be pure feel good BS.

Being that this study was put together by a democrat controled government (Arnie included) it's obvious that even it is way short of the actual cost.

[Diogenesis]

BINGO.

Don't forget that ILLEGAL ALIENS also send us
the infectious hepatitis, incurable tuberculosis, typhoid, cholera, mumps,
Chagas disease, leprosy, incurable Morgellons disease, and Dengue fever,
that Americans just will not give themselves.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Maybe Texas should import some of California's illegals, or consult and teach CA how to make money off illegals for fun and profit!

You never stop do you? Instead of being so damn obtuse, why don't you just tell us what you think a logical immigration program would be, other than "Anything Bush wants".

[SaveTheChief]

Yes, but it's ALL WORTH IT because we are blessed with cheap lettuce.

That's right. Now be quiet while we raise your taxes again.

[AmusedBystander]

The $10.5 billion figure translates into a burden to native-born residents of $1,183 per household.

Based on California's success in the world economy, they must really be doing great in spite of the illegals or is that because of the illegals. Anyway based on soaring California real estate values, $1,183 sounds like chump change to the average Californian.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

You forgot the fecal and e-coli contaminated green onions.

Those actually came from Mexican fields. Blame NAFTA. The spinach case appears to be the result of a cattle pond leaching into an adjacent field.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Anyway based on soaring California real estate values, $1,183 sounds like chump change to the average Californian.

Its a lot higher for the average Californian household that actually PAYS taxes.
