Wow that’s a great solution to the fiscal crisis ... Let out all of the prisoners.

Remind me to stay out of CA.

What will that help more - crime rate or unemployment?

[wendy1946]

Deport the aliens and end the “war on drugs”....

[AliVeritas]

Exactly... and not only them. That would cut more costs in healthcare, housing, crime, welfare/food stamps/medicaid/WIC, schools, law enforcement and Immigration can finally look for illegal jihadists that cover this country. Oh, and that would create many jobs (and don’t think all of them are ag or service either).

Thanks to Ahnuld, Ca is going to look like the future in Terminator.

I “think” the Bureau of Prisons reported some time ago that there were about 100K foreigners incarcerated in America.

No reason why American taxpayers should have to pay to incarcerate other countries’ criminals. At a conservative cost of 25K a year per prisoner, I "think" that's about $2.5 Trillion a year!(my calculator doesn't compute that high so I might be wrong.LOL)

Can the judges just order people not to be criminals?

[dblshot]

The sickest will be transferred to county/state hospitals. Being just out of jail and indigent they will be still be taken care of by tax dollars. Those not that sick will still be indigent, unlikely to find a job much less housing and probably wind up on the Streets of San Francisco subsisting on panhandling and city services. Deporting illegals only makes a minor dent in the overall problem as a majority will be back soon. With no job skills, a shrinking job market, a bankrupt state government unable to fund services, and a declining church collection plate and attendance to provide charitable services, some of these people will be wishing they were back in with a roof over their head and 3 squares. Sad but true.

Exactly! (If there were only someone in the WH as smart as you!)

Get into an argument with a lefty over the current scale of compulsory collectivism. Without fail, you are immediately charged with wanting to cut out core services - police, fire, roads, water/wastewater mains etc.

Cutting core services is what our spiteful leaders do when tax money is tight. They NEVER cut the crap. They always cut police, fire, defense, prisons - among the only things the government SHOULD be doing. All other cuts are described as “draconian”.

I don’t think truly essential services are cut solely because the cuts will prop up support for tax increases; these things are cut also because “everyone will suffer equally”. The other services are things for which the government does not (yet) have a crippling monopoly, meaning that the “rich” can largely escape any direct pain.

That is the mentality we are working with here folks.

Execute the murderers. That should do it.

If they gotta get rid of prisoners then euthanize them.

Deport the incarcerated illegal aliens

A flight home is cheaper than three hots and a cot. Ship 'em back and drop 'em off.

[goldstategop]

They don't have to release them. What are rogue federal judges going to do? Hold the state in contempt? That'll work alright!

Is there any provision in President Hussein’s stimulus package for building prisons in California?

[P-Marlowe]

Solution: Deport the incarcerated illegal aliens.

Not only illegal aliens, but legal resident aliens who commit felonies are subject to deportation.

But if Bush didn't have the cajones to deport illegal alien criminals, do you think Hussein will?

This is Obama’s plan to balance the budget: Perform more abortions; kill the elderly (65 and over) by restricting their health care; reduce the military 25%; eliminate the war on drugs; eliminate NASA; reduce prison populations; legalize controlled substances.
