California is home to the vast majority of these "illegals", yet it is a economic superpower. If California was its own sovereign nation it would rate in the top 10 of GDP in the WORLD. The property values are higher there on average than anywhere else in the nation. The earnings of workers are higher there than most of the nation. California is booming. So where is the economic evidence to support your claim against "illegals".
I would much rather live in George W. Bush's America than the Pat Buchanan's.
Oh yeah, the state that is now increasingly "blue", with horrendous deficits, and huge social problems. With migrants living 10 to a garage, and ER's and hospitals closing because of the weight of uncompensated care for illegals.
It won't be a matter of living in either Reagans America or Buchanons. You will be living in Alta Mexico muy pronto.
