RE:"According to Camarota, California's estimated population of more than 35.5 million people includes some 10 million Mexicans, 70 percent of who are in the state illegally and 65 percent of who have less than a high school education.
"The idea that Mexican immigration is vital to the U.S. economy is simply false," Camarota said.
Next, Camarota noted that Mexican immigrants pay significantly less in taxes compared with native Californians but use disproportionately more welfare benefits than those born in the state.
Camarota's data showed that the average taxes paid by Mexican immigrants in California amount to about $1,535 per year, while native-born Californians pay $5,600 in taxes.
While Mexican immigrants pay one-third the taxes of native Californians on average, they also consume roughly three times more welfare, Camarota said.
The CIS data showed that 41.5 percent of Mexican immigrants used "major welfare programs" like Medicaid and food stamps, while those same welfare programs were used by only 14.2 percent of native Californians."

Unreal. No wonder there is a 38 billion dollar deficit.
Whos really paying the taxes out there? The old time Californians have it rigged with Prop 13 so they don't pay their fair share and the illegals aren't paying it.

No wonder people are leaving.

What happens if Bustamante wins?
