Instead of asking the Fed for more. Re peal prop 13. As some one who does not live in Ca. I have no interest in sending my tax $$$ there.

Nothing personal mind you, But I pay $4000.00 in taxes already, every year.

The real ‘criminals’ in California are in the state legislature and have a D by their name... and a few high elected official that doesn’t.

How about a swap of them for the inmates proposed to be set free?

Where is Duncan Hunter and why isn’t he putting his name up there for Governor? Hunter would make a great Governor of CA.

Honestly, except for the fact that I have a business trip there in June, it could fall into the sea for all I care.

“$12 bill a year in services to illegals and no way to cut the budget.”

Don’t confuse ‘em with facts! California is sure good at ignoring the glaring truth.

More than 1 million people became citizens in 2008, with 780,000 taking the oath of allegiance in the first 10 months, according to preliminary figures from the Department of Homeland Security. In 2007, 660,477 people were granted U.S. citizenship.

Leading countries of birth of new citizens were:
Mexico (122,258), India (46,871), Philippines (38,830), China (33,134) and Vietnam (27,921)

Largest number of people naturalizing lived in:
California (181,684), New York (73,676) and Florida (54,563).

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hispanics made up nearly half of the more than 1 million people who became U.S. citizens last year, according to a Hispanic advocacy group. The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials said the number of Latinos who became Americans in fiscal year 2008 more than doubled over the previous year, to 461,317. That’s nearly half of the record 1,046,539 new citizens overall in 2008, a 58 percent increase from 2007. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gQKI-mUtzRTYIm7MjslLxEoz2zVgD97DFPI01

Study: Illegal Immigrants Having More Kids In US Associated Press ^ | April 14, 2009
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/money/19175382/detail.html

Growing numbers of children of illegal immigrants are being born in this country, and they are nearly twice as likely to live in poverty than those with American-born parents...

Overall, illegal immigrants’ children account for one of every 15 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. In 2008, California had the most illegal immigrants at 2.7 million, double its 1990 number, followed by Texas, Florida, New York and New Jersey.

“In the next eight years, the violent collection of criminal drug cartels could overwhelm the state and establish de facto control over broad regions of northern Mexico,” McCaffrey’s report said. “A failure by the Mexican political system to curtail lawlessness and violence could result in a surge of millions of refugees crossing the U.S. border.”

Predictably, the political class has exploited this by warning of criminals running free in the street:

Since they have done this, then the people of California need target practice. I propose that the Illegals get marched back down to mexico. The democrats should pay for this out of their own pockets. Those liberal Twinkies.
