Someone else did a follow-up study, and found that what the state saved in economic costs from the use of migrant labor in agriculture was over three times what it cost in health care and education to those same workers.

So in other words, taxpayers get to pony up the big dollars to provide aid, comfort, and support to criminals just so Kalifornistan agri-corporations can keep their costs down and their profits up.

I can see how that can be good for the agri-corporations. I can almost see how that might be good for the "state" (whatever that means). But I still fail to see how it benefits the taxpayers who end up footing the bill.

I saw that same sentence and busted out laughing. "Someone else?" Is that the best he can come up with? I think we can about guess which group of "someone elses" came up with such a study...the fact that he doesn't say EXACTLY who did it says volumes. What a wonderful example of the claptrap that he probably wrote in college to get his "degree" (which is noted at the bottom of the article).
