The fiscal irresponsibility of the procession of California governments is not solely caused by illegal immigration -- though I'm sure it's a cause.

H.
Yes it does. There is a direct correlation. A straight line from California's bankruptcy to immigration, legal and illegal. Yet you want to talk about a border checkpoint 80 miles from the border.
As for addtional revenue from taxing illegals in the central valley, well they all ready are being taxed IF they work. Notice how the liberal media, if it 's reputable, never bring up numbers or economics when talking about illegal aliens? If they did, it would shock and awe the public. The math is simple, illegal aliens are subsidized by American citizens and have been for the last quarter century. Illegal aliens are/have been coming in by the millions annually,decade after decade as well, more numbers you won't see.
Now do you want to talk about American culture, heritage and demographics in the context of illegal immigration? Or just about pie-in-the sky fantasy "profit" (insert eye roll) off of illegal aliens. Do you want to talk about why U.S citizens have to get a national biometric ID card because of illegal immigration? Oh, wait, we already are.
