With this action that Missouri took it shouldn't face the Problems Calfruit has.
Institutionalizing illegal immigration creates a mindset in people that anything goes in the U.S. It creates a new subculture, with a sequela of social ills.” - Patrick Ortega, News and Public-affairs Director of Radio Nueva Vida in southern California
In a statewide poll more Californians named crime as the most serious problem facing the state than any other issue, including education. With reason. California crime rates rose 3.2 percent in 2005 and homicides rose more than 4 percent. Robberies rose 5.2 percent and aggravated assaults by 2.6 percent. Many counties saw even more dramatic increases. And gang activity throughout the state is on the rise.
While experts differ on the causes of crime rate increases in our state, much of the evidence points to growing population densities and increasing poverty and unemployment. In many ways, we are “importing danger” when we leave our borders open to whoever wants to enter, and when we tolerate lawbreaking at the border.
In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide (which total 1,200 to 1,500) are for illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) are also for illegal aliens. Illegal aliens comprise 75 percent of L.A.’s “Most Wanted” list.
By the end of 2005, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations inmate count had risen to 195 percent of the prison system’s capacity. Nearly 25 percent of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican illegal aliens. Currently, many are released early due to overcrowding, even felons.
Over the last 20 years, prison populations have surged in every state in the country—doubling, and then doubling again. The United States now has more than two million people incarcerated. That's more than ever before, and more than any other country.
Schools
California’s public school system, which once led the nation in education, now stands at or near the bottom of the list. In many parts of the state, schools have drastically deteriorated from trying to meet the needs of a rapidly growing immigration-driven student population.
Currently, California’s K-12 system is home to one in eight American students.
In 2005–06 California spent $8,564 per pupil to educate our children. An estimated 1.3 million illegal immigrant students filling California’s classrooms cost taxpayers more than $11.6 billion.
In areas with especially high immigrant populations, such as Los Angeles, the school construction program required to meet the demand of explosive student enrollment was so massive that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had to be called in to manage it. It’s common for schools to use trailers as temporary classrooms to try to accommodate out-of-control student numbers.
Standards of learning continue to fall steadily as number of students per teacher reaches unprecedented proportions. The fact that many immigrant students don’t speak English only adds to the difficulty in providing an adequate education for all California students.
As of 2007, 25 percent of California’s K-12 enrollment was designated as “English learners,” 44 percent speak a language other than English at home, and 33 percent live below the poverty line.
Also as of 2006 one-third of the state’s 1,052 public school districts neared the bottom of their financial reserves in an effort to make ends meet, with 14 expected to run out of money in two years. Another 65 also face the likelihood that their expenses will surpass revenues in that time.
