The problem with those articles is that the errors are easily spotted by anyone with any kind of a bookkeeping background.
There are no one-sided entries into a ledger, but these articles never bother to calculate the billions (quite likely many, many times the amount of the cost) of dollars saved by California consumers via the reduction in prices brought about by the illegal aliens.
If there were no benefits to their being here, they wouldn't be here.
People get so caught up in the hyperbole and demagoguery behind this issue, that they fail to see the most obvious point of all...coming here benefits both the illegal, and industry, and consequently the consumer.
"but these articles never bother to calculate the billions (quite likely many, many times the amount of the cost) of dollars saved by California consumers via the reduction in prices brought about by the illegal aliens."
And of course only YOU can provide us with this information, right?
