I think thats why they made the media $h!tstorm. It poses a huge threat
to them, because the fact is, removing illegals is going to be highly
beneficial to our local economy. It's much better to be employing tax
paying American citizens. Add to that the related problems of crime, drugs,
etc. its a clear win for Arizona. They don't want a domino effect
happening. It's utterly ridiculous to be paying out so much in
unemployment while also paying social service subsidies to non-Americans who
work the jobs the unemployed would have. Gov. Arnold's solution to the
problem: cut all welfare. If I were a non-billionaire legal Californian, I
would be utterly furious. California is quickly degrading, hopefully if we
keep doing what we've been doing for the past month or so, we'll be ok.
Actually, we'll be a very desirable place to live (this means your house is
worth more).
