Estimates say that costs ([link|http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=7158|http://www.americanc...sp?articleID=7158]) at low end are over $1 billion for LA. Estimates also show that they pay no taxes to offset...and nearly half the workforce in some sectors of the LA economy are paid under the table...net cost in lost revenue at 1B plus.

Los Angeles' entire city budget is 5.4B.

Simple math gets you clost to 40% impact to LA.

Its NOT hard to understand how things like Prop187 get legs with the folks in California...and these folks are LIBERALS by and large that want these people cut off and sent home.

If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition}
