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.

Not sure why I'm getting downvoted here by the way. I didn't say I favor ilegal immigration, after all. I just understand economics. Or maybe that's our problem here. You downvoters don't understand economics.
