State Should Cut Costs On Illegal Immigration
(TheCalifornian.com)

California is facing a budget crisis. Arnold wants to eliminate jobs to balance the budget. This does not help the economy. Arnold wants to close parks, which is a bad move because of the vandalism, poaching and fires that would occur.

There are some things that could be cut which many Californians would agree with: California spends over $10 billion a year to subsidize illegal immigrants. Los Angeles County alone spends over $300 million a year on food stamps for illegal immigrants, the thousands of illegals in our state prisons cost over $900 million a year to feed, clothe, etc. I don't even want to get into what illegals are costing our hospitals.

We need to stop spending money on people who do not contribute to our society. They pay no taxes yet expect everything with no cost.

This is the land of the free, not the land of come here and live for free.
