What do illegals have to do with wall street?

California is house poor, it's no secret. Nice big house and you're furnishing it with credit cards.

Lol... Is that one of the "facts" they teach you in your "Real news" right-wing sources? No wonder conservatives are generally so ignorant. I'm sure the economic growth is immense in Dumbf*ck, Idaho where conservatives abound..

If you do not mind paying to support the illegal aliens go ahead. I will not.
Are sales taxes rare in California?

Let's be honest, majority of people talking trash about sanctuary cities can't afford to live in them, at least live in a decent neighborhood, maybe Watts.

I make at least double the median income and I can barely afford to live in an average working class neighborhood in Chicago, no way in hell could I afford to live in a decent hood in NY or San Francisco (now I'm talking about owning not renting)

I don't hate mexicans. I hate illegal immigrants because they break the law and are trespassing in this country. I have no sympathy for them when there are legal and documented immigrants who follows the laws to enter the country.

What good is it to be blessed with abundant resources only to spend like there's no tomorrow.

You end up with the most prosperous state in the union.

That'd be like saying Warren Buffet is rich because he went to an Ivy League school.

That is so much more under the hood that you have no idea.

According to your logic, I could move to SF or LA, and charge you expensive rates for your home repair needs or pc repair needs. Because it's an economic wealth generating place, right?
