Just heard Governor Brown speak. Listened to Jeff Sessions. So bottom line to all of you from California. How DO YOU FEEL about illegal aliens living in your state? How do you feel about so much of your tax dollars going to support them? How do you feel about hiding them from ICE. What do you REALLY think about Sanctuary Cities? Please be honest.
Illegal immigrants are a net benefit to the economy. Sanctuary cities are just following the law. It is not up to cities to spend resources on enforcing federal immigration law. That is the job of the federal government. Actively hiding them and denying explicit federal requests for info though is not legal.
From the CBO: "Over the past two decades, most efforts to estimate the fiscal impact of immigration in the United States have concluded that, in aggregate and over the long term, tax revenues of all types generated by immigrants—both legal and unauthorized—exceed the cost of the services they use.”

Not my Governor Moonbeam. No Sanctuary. I hope Sessions goes after them. Our homeless and Veterans need our help. The President has made a good offer for DACA. But criminals need to go. So sick of the bleeding of resources in California.

That is an absolute lie. Illegals cost taxpayers 134 billion a year. Welfare,public schools ,hospitals, policing, etc
Right now the economy is good so places like califronias pensions are still solvent, we will see how this plays out if the economy were take a downturn.

So taking the word of the obviously biased fairus.org over the Congressional Budget Office as an impartial evaluation on the net cost of illegal immigrants? Yes, they consume tax money, but they contribute more.
OK, to be fair....I would like people who actually LIVE in California to say they are either OK with all of their tax dollars going to support illegal aliens, or NO they aren't happy with what the government is forcing them to comply with.
