Yes, but federal law says that hospitals may not refuse emergency treatment for anybody, regardless of citizenship status. I don't believe that passing a state law in California would override that.
In 1982, the U.S. Supreme Court said that children of illegal immigrants cannot be denied admission into public schools.
When Federal laws trump state laws, then the Federal Government has to pay for the laws they have created. States have their own Constitutions, and that's why illegal immigrants in other States are rounded-up and put in jail. Besides, an "illegal" alien has not citizenship status of any kind. He or she has illegally entered this country, so he or she should be detained and deported, unless the person is her under political asylum. That's the law.
Since everybody in here seems to agree to disagree I have a solution for California. Since California has been making many bad decisions over the years which led to their current bad situation I have a very simple solution for them. The CA government should look at their decisions that they have made the last 50 years and do just the opposite of that for the next 50 years. It will go from the crappiest state in the union to the best state in the union. When you're doing something that isn't working the obvious solution is to try something else.

I don't think everything needs to be scrapped. The state still has the largest economy in the U.S. and the seventh largest in the world.
And I guess your definition of "crappy" is different from mine.
With high wages relative to cost of living and a fairly low unemployment rate of 6.3 percent, considering the financial turmoil over the last year, these factors make [Houston] the best city to get ahead.
California's economy is bankrupt because the state is spending and not taxing. If it was raising enough tax revenue to pay for the govermnet spending, this crisis wouldn't be happening. I know that everyone thinks the whole state is full of left leaning areas like San Francisco and LA but there are many centrist and right leaning areas as well. The main reason that California has so much trouble raising revenue is because Howard Jarvis's (who is an extreme conservative even by Texas standards) prop 13 made it so that the government could only increase the property taxes of people that bought their home before 1978 by something like 1% per year and it created a rule that in order to pass a bill that raises revenue for the government, you need a 2/3rds vote in the Senate and Assembly. Therefore a small minority of right-wing Republican lawmakers are able to block any tax increase, or any other revenue raising bill for that matter, from passing.
California cannot tax to pay for the expenses mandated by referendum. Thus the government is going broke. I suggest they implement a form of my all inclusive increasing rate, high deductable Income Tax to put the government on a balanced budget while leaving 80% of the population with more money to spend.
It's seems everyone is going to swarm to Texas with the big hoopla it's getting nowadays. I personally can't go to Texas but I stongly encourage everyone else to do so. NOW.
Surely you then know that the Texan economy is anti-cyclical to the national economy?
That is a false statement and shows that you don't even have an understanding of basic economics.
