The cuts in the budget have nothing to do with immigration. They have to do with the fact that the State (much like the fed) is trying to do everything for everybody. The Democratic controlled Senate won't cut any services, and the Republican Governor won't allow any increased taxes.

When the budget was made, housing in California was doing great and the state projected income based on that. Now that housing is in the toilet, those numbers had to be revised and the state now has less income but the same or higher bills.

Undocumented immigrants (there is no such thing as an illegal immigrant and only liars and morons claim such) aren't closing hospitals, are less likely to commit crimes than those born in America, they do pay taxes, they are coming here to work and not for handouts, and they pay billions and billions more into the system than they use in services.
