Dear Everyone;
Here's another reason to arrive at a national consensus on immigration - legal and illegal. According to the Gubernator it cost California $750 million to jail illegal immigrants. Unfortunately the costs mentioned do not state if it is just holding through the deportation process or what.
No matter that's a lot of California Taxpayer money.
