What I don't get is this. Why does California attach any jail time to criminal offenses? Most criminals seem to get out in short order because of overcrowding issues.

One of my favorite comments following the article:

“One more thought...
“If this law passes, why couldn’t California declare then itself a party and arrest and charge illegal immigrants for party-crashing?
“I mean, at $1,000 a pop, we could be looking at some serious $$$ here.”
All our state budget problems are solved!
