Wow.

OK, how about we blame greedy politicians with their hands on taxpayers’ wallets, pandering to illegals, Arnie? Is that more accurate?

[ConservaTexan]

Putting a 50% fee on wiring money out of the country would help address the shortfall. It would also send a lot of crimmigrants elsewhere.

[avacado]

Schwarzenegger needs to quit calling himself a Republican. He isn't even a RINO. He's married to a frikin’ Kennedy for Pete's sake! He's a raging-flamming-libtard to the core.

[Redcloak]

To be fair, the mess started in the legislature. And since there are no illegal aliens in the CA legislature, Aaaaahnold is correct.

[SF Republican]

it would be a "big mistake" to blame illegal immigrants for the state's looming $8 billion budget problem. - Thats true, Arnold is a legal immigrant

[misterrob]

Illegals are not the problem...

It's the entitlement mentality and mandatory spending proposals that keep getting passed. Illegals just fall under that umbrella.

[Travis McGee]

There you have it. The millions of illegal invaders in Cali are not to blame for the budget mess.

[OCCASparky]

It sure as hell hasn't helped it, Arnie. Look at how much illegals in Los Angeles county get in WELFARE. JUST welfare--not education, not hospitals, not jails, not overcrowded roads and freeways, not...you get the idea.

Oh wait--no you don't.

[A CA Guy]

F’ing bull$h!t Arnold.

Let's look at the cost of education alone.
I was told it is $7,000 for a regular citizen kid and $14,000 for an illegal kid.

After you do the math of $14,000 times the millions of illegal kids you get probably near 3 billion of debt a year right there.

We ban illegals in school without payment from their countries and we save 8 billion in a couple of years.

Add to that the cost of medical, the lack of tax payments a year and probably the state goes 5 or more billion a year in debt with illegals without a doubt.

Educate the kids in a tent city or make the illegals go pay for baby sitters.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Technically, he's right. It was the Legislature spending ridiculous amounts of money in an attempt to win the favor and future votes of the shiftless, the indigent, the criminal, and illegal immigrants which has caused the problem.

[meandog]

Ahrnald has turned into a girlie man!

[boomop1]

He is, what a maroon.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

HOw much does medi-cal pay out a year to reimburse california hospitals for illegals using them as free birthing centers and emergency rooms as their healthcare provider?

How much does the state have to pay each year for the public education and bi-lingual instruction of illegals?

How much does the state have to pay each year for the housing of illegal immigrants in prisons and jails?

[edcoil]

A person does not pay into a system yet, takes advantage of that service.

A person does not pay into a system yet, receives money or in-kind benefits

According to our Governor, they are not to blame for budget problems.

So if you are spending more then you are taking it, that is not the problem, according to our Governor, the problem is you are not taking enough from those paying into a system they do not use.

I got all that right?

[brytlea]

I don’t blame the illegal aliens. I blame the political types who have allowed them to overrun our borders and soak up taxpayer money.

[Cicero]

Well, he’s right. They’re only partly to blame.

The chief blame falls on: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[B4Ranch]

DAn, Send this to the Gov.

Well, OK then, how about we place blame on the three elements most blameworthy, in descending order: (1) The Austrian; (2) The clowns in Sacramento who pass for what we laughingly call the Legislature, and (3) Illegal aliens which are in fact a huge financial drag on this state.

There. All fixed.
