This is so glaring....And no mention of the Federal Border, and who is responsible for it's security........
Sorry, this is all on California, if they even try to blame this in the feds it’s only to get a bailout. California has done everything to undermine enforcement along the border by encouraging massive illegal immigration into their state at every level.
They have protected them by forbidding their state and local employees from cooperating with federal immigration authorities. They have passed countless laws to make it easer for illegal immigrants to live there. They have funded countless programs with tax payers money to further their social restructuring.
I do not blame the illegal aliens for any of this (they have no control over the purse strings). The full responsibility rests with the elected officials who are responsible but as yet unaccountable for their greed and folly.
California is a failed state and there needs to be significant suffering of the voting public before they start to take their voting responsibility seriously. Only then can or should reconstruction begin.
This is what passes for leadership in the California Legislature:
Sen. Gil Cedillo, a stalwart Latino Democrat from Los Angeles, knows an opportunity when he sees it. A major budget crisis, rock-bottom approval ratings and a powerful recall movement -- give Latinos the chance to push forward an issue foremost on their agenda: driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants.
This is not a financial crisis as all.
