Well for starters I had a friend get into a car
accident with an illegal. The illegal had no driver's
license, no registration, and no insurance. Yet this
illegal was using roads and highways that California
and federal taxes went to create. My friend did not
carry uninsured motorist coverage so he got shafted
and essentially had to eat his car. They both had
medical bills but since the illegal didn't have a
legal residence to send them to, I doubt he paid them.
So guess who paid for the illegal's bills?

I am not saying that all illegals are terrorists, but
they ARE a burden on an already heavily taxed state
that is one of a few states that get back far less in
federal aid than we pay in taxes.

Look I have nothing against the illegals that mow
people's lawns and nanny their kids. But they all tend
to work for individuals. Those individuals are
commiting a crime and should be punished.
