The costs of illegal immigrants and their kids are a piss in the vast ocean of healthcare in this country.

And yes - people born here are called "American Citizens". Just like you.

I agree Cali is a mess. Disaster. I've had friends run from it in the past 15 years.

Illegals are a part of it, certainly (schools, everything) but illegal immigrants are far from the main reason. One can't behave as fiscally irresponsibly as Bush-era Republicans, just saying spend, spend, spend on the charge card, with zero planning on somehow getting the income to eventually pay it off.

But that has been the California voter. They voted in expensive program after expensive program, with zero way to pay for it.
