Wow.

[Califreak]

There is absolutely no limit to how far the OBL types will go in their denial.

My kids could do the math!

But, as some other posters noted, illegal immigrants technically are not to blame because they are not making the decisions.

The brain dead empty suits including the governer are to blame!

They have put far too much work into creating some of their voting blocs to give it up now.

Folks, I happen to agree with Schwarzenegger. The problem we now face was caused by a legal immigrant that:

1. Refused to make the cuts he promised
2. Refused to deport Illegal Alien Crimmigrants
3. Refused to take on the teacher’s unions and get the money they waste into the classroom
4. Refused to reign in the out of control state commissions
5. Refused to reign in the environmentalist movements that receive state dollars
6. Refused to stop universities from wasting money, time and other resources trying to brainwash graduate students and brow beat businesses and private owners with tyranical environmentalist hogwash

Yes Arnold, you are right. All of this would have been fixed if only this legal immigrant had two fully functioning brain cells to rub together.

Sadly, you don’t.

Schwarzenegger: Illegal immigrants not to blame for budget mess

No of course not. They don't collect welfare, they always pay taxes, they spend their money here in the USA rather than sending it back to Mexico, their kids don't crowd the schools, no government has "English as a Second Language" programs for their kids at taxpayer expense, and they certainly don't commit crimes or take up jail space.

[pissant]

True. I blame the idiots in the federal gov’t and the CA gov’t for inviting them in.

[calcowgirl]

"I can guarantee you, I have been now four years in office in Sacramento, I don't think that illegal immigration has created the mess that we are in."

Arnold is right. Instead, he is to blame for the mess--reckless spending and borrowing into oblivion.

If illegal immigration was controlled, we should have tax cuts.

[TheThinker]

I’m just glad I don’t live in California. But, the problem of illegal immigration is moving to every other state. The fight over illegal immigration has to be won in California for the sake of the rest of us.

[paul51]

One can’t possibly fix a problem if they can’t identify what the problem is.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Because breaking the law is free.

[subterfuge]

I don't think that illegal immigration has created the mess that we are in."

I guess that settles it then. Intuitive Rule by the guv.

[Seaplaner]

and, you know, some may point the finger at illegal immigrants

And, that would be me (and my finger).

[AuntB]

The more I think about it, Arnold is probably a perfect reason we should have a complete immigration moratorium.

[rbg81]

Of course the illegals are not to blame. The taxpayers who resist forking over more of their income to the Government are to blame. Silly, taxpayers!

[Haddit]

Glad to hear it. I had erroneously thought that the “Section 8” housing advertised in Spanish was aimed at illegal immigrants.

[sourcery]

He’s right. The fault lies entirely with tax&spend legislators who pander to those looking for free hand-outs (such as illegal immigrants, although they’re not the only ones.)

[Mariner]

If illegals were not given education and medical care...if not recieving food stamps and other sevices...we'd probably be running a surplus.

the guv is either lying or insane.

[purpleraine]

$14 bill deficit; $10 bill in services to illegals. Second state with a blind governor.

[Lancey Howard]

Arnold is clueless beyond words. I’ve never seen anything like it.

[MaxMax]

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger not to blame for personal ignorance.
