Isn’t one of La Raza’s stated goals to be reclamation of land now held by the U.S.? I say they can have California.

Wow this is just stunning. It’s actually more than $4 billion considering the illegals in prison and the anchor babies who are using state services.

For him to cut any essential service to tax paying citizens before cutting services to people here illegally, is a violation of his oath of office. Not that an oath means much anymore.

What is it with these immigrants who get elected to office?
Arnie seems to identify with illegal aliens. Maybe he was one before he wasn’t. The framers knew what they were doing when they demanded a natural born citizen to be president. The various state constitutions should have done the same for governors.

So can we blame the politicians who extended state benefits to illegals instead?

he praised their economic contributions and said he is "happy" they have access to services.

Then you should have no problem taxing the snot out of them.
no problem at all...

“estimated at $4 billion to $5 billion annually”

OK Arnie. I'm a legal alien (actually 2nd generation American, but let's keep that quiet). I'd be content if you were to give me $4 billion to $5 billion. Apparently, it's such a small pittance of funds. no one would hardly notice it's missing.

Sound good?!?

Politicians must have their brains removed upon taking office. Does it not occur to the governator that taxpayers don’t want to pay for illegals? How about expelling them, then setting up centers for all welfare recipients to report to each morning. Farmers (or anyone who needs a worker) can come pick up the number of workers they need & they get paid by the farmer instead of the taxpayer. Sooner or later all those welfare recipients would find something better to do. And that would go a long way towards solving CA’s budget problems.

“disputed claims that illegal immigrants caused California's $24.3 billion deficit,”

Technically he's right. He and congress did and they are legal immigrants.

Ah, the familiar call of the California RINO in its natural environment. Note the sad warbling of the excuse-song, used to attract its preferred type of mate; local Democrat women. While once thought to be endangered, the California RINO has had a startling comeback over the years, and are now found in great number, roaming freely across the halls of Sacramento.

He said the cost of services to illegal immigrants, which has been estimated at $4 billion to $5 billion annually, is a "small percentage" of the deficit California faces.

$4 to $5 billion given to illegals......pay no attention to that...nothing to see here....yea that's the ticket...

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)

$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.
