I believe California contributes more to the federal treasury than it receives. The illegals, say what you will about them, also help the economy in driving California's agricultural industry. So there are two sides to that dynamic.

California is a drain on everything. Why is it the rats are the first to leave a sinking ship?

The illegals cost CA government $25 billion a year. Tell me again how this helps?

The costs in social services are a given. I implied as much in saying there are two sides to the dynamic. But their low wage work helps California's agricultural industry be competitive which drives GDP and thus contributes to the size of their economy - which was the whole point initially.
Or are you saying illegal aliens don't contribute to California GDP? I hope not.
