How big a part do illegals play into California is going to Washington, D.C., to ask for $7 billion ?

California is going to Washington, D.C., to ask for $7 billion to cover its budget shortfall. Otherwise it won't be able to pay for its teachers, cops, firemen, and other essential services. Unfortunately, California won't be alone. A number of other states are experiencing a huge dive in tax revenue and could be going cap in hand to Uncle Sam alarmingly soon. How bad could it get? The potential cost for all the 31 states facing both major and minor shortfalls could be as much as $53.4 billion.The data is based on a study by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities released at the end of September and shows the states that have seen the biggest shortfalls in tax revenue in their fiscal 2009 budgets. California Budget gap (as a % of the total budget): 22% Gap: $22.2 billion Arizona Budget gap (as a % of the total budget): 19.9% Gap: $2 billion Arizona was hit hard by the subprime crisis, and its economy has slowed significantly since mid-2006. Lawmakers, who had to make up a $2 billion budget shortfall for fiscal 2009, reduced the Medicaid rolls, put a freeze on hiring, and cut funding for community health centers and state universities. Florida Budget gap (as a % of the total budget): 19.9% Gap: $5.1 billion The Florida housing slump is one of the worst in the nation and only appears to be getting worse. The $66 billion Florida budget for the coming year is about $6 billion less than the one approved the previous year. It includes a $332 million reduction in public school spending and cuts to state hospitals, nursing homes, and various social programs.Nevada Budget gap (as a % of the total budget): 16% Gap: $1.2 billion Nevada has the worst foreclosure rate in the nation, and its economy has slowed dramatically this year. The governor capped the state's children's health program and increased children's health-care premiums, and cut funding for K-12 education, higher education, and welfare.Since these states have high populations of illegals, how big of an impact are illegals causing to their budgets http://finance.yahoo.com/loans/article/105909/States-That-Can't-Pay-for-Themselves

1. Thank that Bititch Pelosi and the rest of Sacramento for putting us in debt...we know Bush hates califorina he won't help.
2. Well, you asked about California, but the only paragraph that mentions illegals, is the paragraph that talks about Nevada? So, to answer your question! not as a big part as you think! that's an assumption, and you know what happens when you do that? If anything they should blame the Government for adding to the housing slump. Home loans to illegal immigrants have been holding steady all the way up until 2007. Now that has changed because of the economy, and the immigration laws and raids. http://rismedia.com/wp/2007-10-12/home-loans-to-illegal-immigrants-sturdy-but-show-some-cracks/ RISMEDIA, Oct. 15, 2007-Despite the downturn of the mortgage market, a type of home loan has remained surprisingly sturdy: one extended to illegal immigrants. Now, the question is whether these loans will continue to hold up. A number of factors — including a possible government crackdown on illegal workers and a slowdown in job prospects for undocumented laborers — threaten the ability of these borrowers to keep paying. And there are signs of a slowdown as some lenders have raised the interest rates they charge because of the recent mayhem in the credit markets.
3. If you notice, those states are the highest with illegal immigrants. If they take care of their problems, then they wouldn't be having this trouble. If they held businesses accountable for hiring those illegals they wouldn't be in that situation. Maybe Nancy Pelosi can take the 33 million she earmarked for her American Samoa Corp in the 700 billion dollar buy out and apply it toward California since she obviously does a great job representing them. If they want their money the states need to start putting fines on businesses that hire them and if they do hire illegal immigrants then they should have to pay that person's tax portion as well.
4. Illegal aliens cost the state of CA at least $10.5 billion (that's just the state government and does not include Federal, county, city, etc.). That's more than the $7 billion requested. Of course some people think: So, to answer your question! not as a big part as you think! And they ask why "Do people think that we don't know how to find news articles on illegal immigration ? ourselves?"
5. And you're point is.............? yeah. that's what I thought!
