I don't doubt that a large portion of the education funds go to illegal immigrants. However, most illegal immigrants go to emergency rooms, where they canot be refused care. These costs are borne by county governments, not the state. Also, I disagree with 35% of prisoners being illegal immigrants. While immigrants (legal and illegal) account for 35 percent of California adults, they represent just 17 percent of the state's prisoners.

The problems with the state budget result from failed policies (draconian drug laws that keep prisons full of non-violent offenders) incompetence (failure to provide healthcare alternatives to the poor besides the most expensive emergency care treatment) and cronyism (pandering to state prison guards and the education-government complex).
