magnets, drawing them to and keeping them in our cities and communities. We have
to change those policies.

“The principal beneficiaries of our current immigration policy are
affluent Americans who hire immigrants at substandard wages for low-end work.
Harvard economist George Borjas estimates that American workers lose $190
billion annually in depressed wages caused by the constant flooding of the labor
market at the low-wage end.” Christian Science Monitor
“As economist Philip J.
Romero concluded in a 2007 study, "illegal immigrants impose a 'tax' on
legal California residents in the tens of billions of dollars.”

California must stem the flow of
illegal immigrants
The state should go after employers
who hire them, curb taxpayer-funded benefits, deploy the National Guard to help
the feds at the border and penalize 'sanctuary' cities.
Illegal immigration is another matter entirely. With the state budget in tatters, millions of residents out of work and a state prison system strained by massive overcrowding, California simply cannot continue to ignore the strain that illegal immigration puts on our budget and economy.

The
United States, and California in particular, has been built by immigrants who
legally crossed our borders in search of a brighter future. For generations,
these legal immigrants have made immeasurable contributions to creating a
unique and vibrant California. As Americans and Californians, we are right to
welcome people from all over the globe when they obey our laws and are willing
to play by the rules.

Some have said that illegal immigration is an issue for the federal government, not the states, and that there's little a governor can do to fix the problem. Those people are wrong.

In government at any level, federal or state, a chief executive's duty is to preserve the rule of law. This also means confronting those who flout it, including illegal immigrants and those who shield them.
I believe there are many ways our state can stem the flow of illegal immigration, including social services reform and beefed-up border security. The state needs to confront the problem in a way that is fair and decent but also unapologetically aggressive.
Above all, California has too many policies that reward illegal aliens and act like magnets, drawing them to and keeping them in our cities and communities. We have to change those policies.
(WELFARE
FOR ILLEGALS IN MEX OCCUPIED LOS ANGELES COUNTY ALONE IS $50 MILLION PER MONTH!
NEARLY $10 MILLION IS SPENT YEARLY FOR MEXICAN GRAFFITI ABATEMENT AND YET THE
CITY IS DRENCHED IN IT.)
Ten other states, including neighboring Arizona, have passed laws to cut taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal immigrants. We need such legislation too. In this time of fiscal crisis, we can't afford to subsidize the presence of illegal aliens.
(LA
RAZA NANCY PELOSI HAS LONG PUSHED FOR SPECIAL FEES FOR ILLEGALS IN OUR SCHOOLS.
SHE HAS ALSO LONG ILLEGALLY HIRED ILLEGALS AT HER NAPA WINERY. LA RAZA DIANNE
FEINSTEIN HAS CALLED AMERICANS “STUPID” NOT TO WANT OPEN BORDERS AND MORE OF
THEM. BUT THEN SHE HAS LONG HIRED ILLEGALS ILLEGALLY AT HER S.F. HOTEL!)
One taxpayer-funded benefit for illegal aliens that should be stopped is in-state tuition at our public colleges and universities. Today, California is one of just 10 states that allow illegal immigrants access to reduced college tuition at taxpayer expense.
(OUR
BORDERS ARE A SIEVE WITH ILLEGALS POURING OVER THEM DAILY. MEXICO HAS EXPORTED
38 MILLION OF THEIR POOR, ILLITERATE, CRIMINAL AND FREQUENTLY PREGNANT OVER OUR
BORDERS – WE ARE MEXICO’S WELFARE AND PRISON SYSTEM! AND YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT!)
California must also do its part to help secure the border by deploying the state's National Guard to assist federal authorities. We should also work with other border states to create a multi-state partnership for sharing information, resources and manpower.
Confronting illegal immigration also means confronting those who offer assistance to those who are flouting the law. We need to end "sanctuary city" policies, in which communities (San Francisco, for example) openly offer haven to illegal aliens. Counties, cities and towns that put in place sanctuary policies should lose state funds.
Why?
We have seen the tragic consequences that can stem from offering sanctuary to
protect criminals who are in our country illegally. Consider, for example, the
case of Edwin Ramos. An illegal alien from El Salvador, Ramos was twice
convicted of felonies as a juvenile but was shielded from deportation by San
Francisco's sanctuary policy. Subsequently, he was charged with murdering three
people and is now awaiting trial. Ramos should have been sent back to his
country of origin when he was first arrested. And the same should be true of
any illegal alien arrested for committing a crime.
Businesses that knowingly employ illegal aliens also undermine the rule of law. Jobs are a major reason people immigrate to California. We need to be tough on employers who hire -- and at times prey on -- an illegal workforce. We must require employers to verify the immigration status of their workers, and we should revoke the state-issued licenses of businesses that make a practice of knowingly employing people who aren't authorized to work in this country.

Legal
immigration is a great thing for California, but we can no longer afford
illegal immigration. If we eliminate the public benefit magnets, step up border
enforcement and crack down on the cities and businesses that shield illegal
aliens who are already here, we can go a long way toward stemming the tide of
illegal immigration.

Immigration
law is defined by the federal government. But the consequences and costs of
illegal immigration fall on the states. That is why California must do
everything possible to address this pressing problem. And in any debate on the
future of immigration policy, state officials should voice the interests of
their constituents.
To those currently debating a new immigration bill in Washington, I have just two words: no amnesty.
Steve Poizner is California's insurance commissioner and a Republican candidate for governor.

Thank you OP for the original posting. I went to that site
and looked at all 206 Most wanted criminals in Los Angeles. Out of 206 criminals--183

SANCTUARY COUNTY LOS ANGELES SPENDS $600 MILLION ON WELFARE
FOR ILLEGALS
Illegal immigration continues
to have a “catastrophic impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers,”
the veteran county supervisor (Michael Antonovich) who revealed the information
has said.

County Spends $600 Mil On
Welfare For Illegal Immigrants
Last
Updated: Thu, 03/11/2010 - 3:14pm
For
the second consecutive year taxpayers in a single U.S. county will dish out
more than half a billion dollars just to cover the welfare and food-stamp costs
of illegal immigrants.
Los
Angeles County, the nation’s most populous, may be in the midst of a dire
financial crisis but somehow there are plenty of funds for illegal aliens. In
January alone, anchor babies born to the county’s illegal immigrants collected
more than $50 million in welfare benefits. At that
rate the cash-strapped county will pay around $600 million this year to provide
illegal aliens’ offspring with food stamps and other welfare perks.
THE
EXORBITANT FIGURE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE ENORMOUS COST OF EDUCATING, MEDICALLY
TREATING, OR INCARCERATING ILLEGALS ALIENS. THIS COSTS THE COUNTY AN ADDITIONAL
ONE BILLION DOLLARS.
The
exorbitant figure, revealed this week by a county supervisor, doesn’t even
include the enormous cost of educating, medically treating or incarcerating
illegal aliens in the sprawling county of about 10 million residents. Los
Angeles County annually spends more than $1 billion for those combined
services, including $500 million for healthcare and $350 million for public
safety.
About
a quarter of the county’s welfare and food stamp issuances go to parents who
reside in the United States illegally and collect benefits for their anchor
babies, according to the figures from the county’s Department of Social
Services. In 2009 the tab ran $570 million and this year’s figure is expected
to increase by several million dollars.
Illegal immigration continues
to have a “catastrophic impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers,”
the veteran county supervisor (Michael Antonovich) who revealed the information
has said.
The former fifth-grade history teacher has repeatedly come under fire from his
liberal counterparts for publicizing statistics that confirm the devastation
illegal immigration has had on the region. Antonovich, who has served on the
board for nearly three decades, represents a portion of the county that is
roughly twice the size of Rhode Island and has about 2 million residents.
His
district is simply a snippet of a larger crisis. Nationwide, Americans pay
around $22 billion annually to provide illegal immigrants with welfare benefits
that include food assistance programs such as free school lunches in public
schools, food stamps and a nutritional program (known as WIC)
for low-income women and their children. Tens of billions more are spent on
other social services, medical care, public education and legal costs such as
incarceration and public defenders.
