How did this article get past the editors? I believe the CC Times a very liberal newspaper.

Don't worry. These Hispanic illegal aliens are culturally natural conservatives, so as they gain citizenship, they'll mostly vote GOP. That's why in California statewide races... oh..never mind.

[Amerigomag]

There are at least 400,000 illegal immigrant students in California's schools.

Not even close..

At a minimum, over 35% of the students in California's public schools are a direct consequence of unregulated, illegal immigration since 1950. That number is projected to reach 50% within my short, remainng lifespan

In early March of this year 50% of the births in California were of Hispanic ansestory and based on relatively stable demographics prior to 1950 almost 85% of those children can reasonably be expected to trace their recent ancestory to at least one illegal immigrant.

This primary causal factor has reached such proportions that it's now effecting California's economy in a weak financial period. If the trend continues unckecked, it will dominate state spending in even a booming economy. California's economic potential, as great as it is, can't outrun the current rate of immigration due to the entitlments created for those immigrants within the last 10 years. The trend, if it continues to rise at it's present rate will simply swamp the production of taxable revenue..

Leave it to the liberal media to provide plausible denial to the unwillingness of it's liberal governanve to address to fudamental cause of California's current financial distress

Third World collapsing California.

The cost of educating a child averages $6,000 or more a year.

According to Tom McClintock, it's $9,000 per child per year, or $270,000 per 30-pupil classroom per year. Of course, too much of that money pays for the burgeoning education bureacracy instead of going directly to the classrooms.

Well duh. I mean, is this still news for some people? Make you feel good to go over the same old sh*t over and over again 10 years after 187? The bottom line is that Calif is cooked for the middle class.

For the fortunate few that live by the coast, we're ok. But my kids aren't going to enjoy the same place I grew up in.

The real value of FR is to source out emerging trends, not rehash the same old, same old. What I'm watching is how the inevitable is to going to impact investment opportunities.

The rich in Mexico, Brazil and other 3rd world countries still make money. I'm trying to figure out how to apply the same logic here. I mean, it's like we've got this giant crystal ball predicting with 100% accuracy what's gonna happen; we just got to figure out what to do with the information.

I wonder if California's core problems are with immigration and cutting a few programs and firing a few bureaucrats will not make a hill of beans difference. Could be big problem for Arnold. Wonder how he will deal with this?

"Currently, more than 25 percent of our federal prison inmates are illegal aliens who committed crimes."

I'll say it. (sarcasm on) Wait that can't be right! They're just honest hard working people coming here to do the jobs no American citizens want to do. (sarcasm off)

The cost of educating a child averages $6,000 or more a year.

The problem with lies is that they require maintenance. The cost of educating a k-12 student in California is over $11,000.

400,000 illegals in CA schools. If I lived in CA, I'd stop paying state and city taxes. I'd jam up court system demanding an answer WHY the F*** I should pay these taxes.

Whoever posted this article sent me, by private reply, claiming his handle was "Amerigomag" that by privately replying to others I was "spamming"; he claims to be the "Forum Moderator".

Does anyone know who this person is?

Does anyone else understand that replying privately is "spamming". If so, since I receive private emails aplenty, I know I'm not the only one doing it so be warned.

Frankly, I think this guy's a fake; has anyone else gotten threatening private replies from him?

I figure I must've ticked off some Dumocrap really good to get this aggravation.

Does anyone know where I can find this definition of "spamming" on the rules of Free Republic?
