For political reasons, the press always seems to represent that illegal immigration is an economic positive when it is all said and done. Well if this is the case, then California should be at the forefront of reaping the benefits, as a majority of the illegals currently reside in California.
So how is California doing?
The Governor recently stated that unless California takes action right now, and makes significant budgetary cuts, that California faces a projected $14.5 billion deficit by June 2009.
These cuts include a 10 percent reduction in teachers and educational spending in California. Not good, right?
Currently, there are around 30 states that spend more per student on education than California. So how can this be, given that California has an unrestricted supply of illegal immigrants?
Is it because the millions of illegal immigrants that live in California are primarily comprised on low skilled labor? Could it be that such low skilled labor provide less to the tax base than they require from California in social services such as education?
If the illegal aliens are adding so significantly to the economy of California, then should not there be a surplus of resources to help educate its children?
I guess only time will tell, but if illegal immigration is truly a good thing then why is California asking the government to keep the National Guard on the border?
