LOL...did you miss this?

"The economic impact of illegal immigrants in the United States is challenging to measure, and politically contentious. The scarcity of reliable statistics leaves room for many methods of study, leading to diverse conclusions."
Did YOU miss "the scarcity of reliable statistics"?

Especially from the right-wing blogosphere.

you dont have to send anyone anywhere. Remove the incentives and they remove themselves. We all know this is a democrat ploy to get voters, just admit that much.
"Incentives"?

You try being "illegal" OR homeless. You wouldn't last a day, Mr.Whitebread Privilege.

Please don’t be so glib, this is a problem we conservatives have known about from Fox for sometime . Sad,for everyone on both sides. CA asked for this, can someone here tell us what your city fathers we’re thinking of. Absolutely amazing.

Whodey’s question is a good one. How should things be.
“this is a problem we conservatives have known about from Fox for sometime“
I can’t decide if your a right wing fool or a left wing comic genius.
Screw it I’m going with the latter option.
Nice one AJ 👍

I guess that is why so many are leaving California...Why do you want to lie about it?

Who says I want to lie about anything especially about leaving CA?

From the article you cited: “The Bay Area was also found to be leading the nation in outward migration, meaning more people are leaving the region than moving in. However, most people who moved out of the Bay Area didn't go to far; the number one destination was Sacramento, followed by Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland and San Diego.”

Those are all thriving places. 3 of the 5 are in CA.

"From Fox."

Look, I know the message of the right is fear, because they've got nothing else, but could you stop shaking in your boots for five seconds and start thinking for yourselves?

I know it's scary, but you can do it.

Suzianne - Sorry to inform you, but they can't "do it" I'm afraid you're expecting too much.


@mchill

Lol, you think for yourself based on the news source that tells you what to believe.

Eladar - I watch both Fox News and MSNBC 30 min each day, and neither one "tells" me what to believe. 🙂

Does it cost $1? Then we have a
Problem.which needs to be dealt with. We need every US dollar to buy school lunches for our Kindergarten children. Am I wrong?

“They”, the mysterious They , do not get the concept of making choices in life. A person may choose to be fat, get pregnant, or drive really fast. They do not consider that a choice. I asked a while back...’Well, then what is It?” No answer.

The residents. Of course you have an implied point, there is income inequality. Some workers - think Uber - have to live in outlying counties and drive to the streets of SF.

And yes, there are other social ailments.
