$4 to $5 billion given to illegals......pay no attention to that...nothing to see here....yea that's the ticket...
Last I heard was that it costs the State of California $1 Billion a year for illegals. Getting rid of the them is a start. Not only that, we don’t want them here, regardless of what the politicians want.
Arnold is an idiot. Any fool knows the illegals cost more than they contribute to the state as far as money is concerned. Most of them do not pay taxes and are a drain on our services. This plus the fat salaries, pension and benefits paid to public employees are killing this state. I do not see how we can get out of this jam without some revisions to the way the state does business. Without changes this budget problem is going to happen next year only the deficit will be larger.
Arnold sucks a$$ more and more with each passing day.
Can we un-recall Gray Davis? (just kidding about that question)
Yep. 5 or 6 years of the costs of illegal aliens would completely cover the budget shortfalls, even with the out-of-control spending of the legislators. Boot them out now and (mathematically) we can recover in about 11 years.
Let’s not forget that they’re pulling down federal dollars as well. Section 8 subsidized rent, Medicaid, SCHIP, food stamps and WIC. it’s a gold mine. For them. I was suspicious of Arnold from the beginning. sd
Ahnul needs to go back to Austria where they speak Austrian.
I really like your idea!
$5 Billion of 20-25 Billion eauates to 20-25% of the deficite this year... that’s not a “SMALL PERCENTAGE” when you figure in they’ve been spending that per year every year for years on end, that a huge amount of $$$ being burned and gigantic opportunity costs wasted over time.
California is reaping what it has sowed for the past several decades. You have to pay the piper sooner or later.
Arnold had better check his math again. It’s at least $10 Billion.

I actually blame it on illegals AND liberals. Equally culpable.
He lies. I worked with someone who once worked in social services with the State of California and she told me that when a person requested financial aid and food stamps, the person was immediately approved. California doesn’t verify citizenship, they just give away money like it was Hallowe’en candy.
11 percent unemployment
3 million illegals
$24 billion budget deficit

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he’s “happy” illegal immigrants get state services and says they’re not to blame for California’s $24.3 billion budget gap.
Ok, increase actors tax to 110% and let them foot the bills, they will be so happy!
Bingo!
BTTT
Most definately a girly man ping!
Arnold, you should have stayed in the movies.
Hogwash, add the cost of schooling, crime, and welfare for 'anchor' babies and this cost skyrockets.
Good God can’t we deport Arnold back to Austria?
