If the stock market keeps going down, CA will have budget problems again as they get a lot of their revenue from the wealthy investors that reside there.

Could it just be that the majority of “Californians” ARE “unauthorized immigrants?”

Not really - Medicaid is at least 50% Federal $, and can be as much as 75% Federal $, depending on the number of people in the state that meet the eligibility guidelines (generally expressed as those falling within some multiple of the federal poverty level - usually 133% but as high as 261% if infants are part of the household.)

So, when CA gets generous, it is merely harvesting the tax dollars of residents of other states.

Last year, only a slight majority – 51 percent – favored the idea, while 45 percent opposed.

All this proves is there are more libs and illegals this year than last.

Considering 2 out of 3 people in the State are sucking off the Government tit, why would ANY Polling be Valid??

Doesn’t some of this largess eventually come from the Fed Gov? That is, you and me in other sane states? Why should I have to subsidize Mexifornia?

58% of Californians don’t have to pay taxes? No wonder the state is a financial basket case.

Gee. 20 years ago we had a poll where this was explicitly outlawed.

Prop 187 was overturned by one federal judge.

She said a state cant make an immigration law.

Now it can, because this time they get the money?
