Illegal immigrants are a factor in the budget gap math - Los Angeles Times
In this article they discuss the real cost of illegal immigration to the state of California. In the coming years the taxes will have to be substantially increased in the state in order to close budget shortfalls. We need to have factual information about where our tax money is going and if we really want to be paying for these things.
There were 2.8 million illegal immigrants living in California in 2006, the last year for which there are relatively good figures, according to the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California. That represented about 8% of the state's population and roughly a quarter of the nation's illegal immigrants. About 90% of California's illegal immigrants were from Latin America; 65% from Mexico.
Californias population is a 37 million, yet it is precieved to be all mexican immigrant. yet in the satistics above form the article illegal mexican aliens make up 5% of the States population or about 1.7 million.
Then why do people think California is turning into Mexico?...
Lets look form the statistics of californins population movement form 2000-2009. We see form the research, the whites in Ca are leaving the State by the hundred thousands...(white flight) while the white birth rate has remained relatively flat. The birth rate amound Ca Blacks has also remained flat.
Asian and Pacific Islander growth rate is almost 10 times.
E-3 by Year, 2000-07 - California Department of Finance (http://www.dof.ca.gov/research/demographic/reports/estimates/e-3/by_year_2000-07/ - broken link) The changes for the White population in California in the 2000–2007 period have been unprecedented in the state’s population history. Whites experienced natural decrease of population (that is, an excess of deaths over births) in all seven years and experienced net outmigration in six of the seven years. Net migration was positive only in 2000, with a modest gain of about 86,000 that year. Net outmigration not only began the following year but increased every succeeding year through 2006, when it was over 124,000. It dropped somewhat in 2007 but was still substantial at a net loss of over 117,000 people.
Somewhat similarly, the Black population is still growing but only modestly (it increased about 5 percent over the seven-year period). Its natural increase of population has declined or slowed year to year,.
American Indians are the only group besides Whites to have experienced natural decrease of population every year in the period albeit the decreases averaged somewhat less than 250 per year. And these losses were offset by substantial net inmigration ranging from about 3,600 to almost 5,000 people a year. As a consequence, the population grew by over 28,000 over the period, a solid 15 percent increase for this small group now numbering almost 213,000 statewide.
In contrast, the Multirace population has grown a remarkable 52 percent over the period, experiencing notable and growing natural increase of population every year, and also showing net inmigration every year, although the net migration has moderated somewhat the last couple of years. Because the Multirace category was only adopted in 2000, it is difficult to place any definitive interpretation of these data until the Multirace data base has accumulated over a longer period of time.
The remaining three race / ethnic groups—Asians, Pacific Islanders and Hispanics — have grown by 21 percent to about 26 percent since 2000. The Asian growth rate (21 percent) signals an addition of about 790,000 people, with almost 30 percent coming from natural increase and over 70 percent coming from net migration in each year.
Pacific Islanders, the smallest group at about 136,000 people with a period growth rate of about 24 percent, also has been increasing mostly through net migration (about three fourths of its increase over the period).
Finally, Hispanics' strong growth (an addition of 2.8 million people and an increase of about 26 percent) results primarily from large and growing natural increase of population (excess of births over deaths). Today only about 40 percent of its growth comes from net migration, which has been declining for the past five years, while about 60 percent comes from natural increase. This Hispanic component-based change pattern is the opposite of that for Asians and Pacific Islanders.

Less population growth in this state is a positive not a negative.
