Ignoring the obvious cost savings when you don’t have to arrest the same guy 120 times a year, it seems that there is a bigger prison issue that the State of California deals with. This paragraph by Mark Krikorian in the Corner at the National Review states the real source of that problem.

“The GAO reported in March that in FY 2008, there were 27,000 illegal aliens in the state prison system for whom California was receiving partial (very partial) reimbursement from the feds.

And that’s not counting the legal immigrants who’ve made themselves deportable by committing crimes.”

The Conservatives also have an immigration plan.

32% – Kill the HRCs
10% – Lower Taxes

The other 6% was for other and most people wrote in “All of the Above.”
