**“estimated at $4 billion to $5 billion annually” **
Must be KALIFORNIA MATH ...20% of anything is not quite a PITTANCE!!!
5 years ago, I would have asked if this article came from the ONION or SCRAPPLEFACE.
No kidding! Actually, it’s a very sad commentary on the state of affairs.
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.
This is the same governor that signed AB 32 limiting the production of “greenhouse gases” in the state that supposedly cause “global warming”. So illegal aliens contributing to 20% of California’s annual deficit is insignificant but the unproven effect of Californians on the Earth’s atmosphere is so large that it must be acted upon immediately. Go figure.
