Immigration and California's Budget Woes

Here are two stories about Immigration and California. The first is from www.debbieschlussel.com and the second is from www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards. I hope you find them interesting!

California Appeals Court: We Might As Well Just Open the Borders

We already know that plenty of major American cities are "sanctuary cities," prohibiting police from asking people their immigration status or turning over known illegal aliens to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
But, now, not only is Los Angeles a sanctuary city, California's Appellate Court says the whole state is. That's the essential content of a 25-page decision the court issued, last week, in Harold P. Sturgeon v. William J. Bratton et al., Break the Cycle et al., Interveners and Respondents. With the involvement and backing of the ACLU, the court affirmed that it's illegal to use illegal alien status--known illegal alien status--to start a police investigation.
Gracias & Shukran, Stupid Gringo Infidel Judges
It's absurd. Being an illegal alien is, by definition, illegal. Thus, the adjective before the word "alien." An illegal alien who is here is breaking the law. If you break any other law, the police can use that to start an investigation. But now, the People's Republic of Granola's appeals court elevates that crime above all others. It's apparently no longer enough for probable cause or even reasonable suspicion.
We might as well just open the borders. We know that Los Angeles County, from which this case emanated, is the country that spends $44 million a month for benefits for the kids of illegal aliens.
And yet, who cares about the cost? We need to be tolerant of lawbreakers if they're not here legally. We need to elevate them above all others.
Thanks, California, for the trend-setting of fruits, nuts, and flakes. The state has been the trendsetter in speeding up the moral and cultural death of America and now the border obliteration of America.
In case you were wondering, the black-robed idiots who issued this 25 pages of toilet paper are H. Walter Croskey, Joan D. Klein, and Patti S. Kitching.

Immigration destroying California schools

Of course, the media won’t tell you that. They just blame it on some mysterious “budget crisis” that came out of nowhere and HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Because everyone knows that filling your state with low IQ, unskilled people with high crime rates who don’t speak English is good for the state and the school system. Because Diversity is our greatest strength!
RICHMOND, Calif. (AP) – California’s historic budget crisis threatens to devastate a public education system that was once considered a national model but now ranks near the bottom in school funding and academic achievement.
Deep budget cuts are forcing California school districts to lay off thousands of teachers, expand class sizes, close schools, eliminate bus service, cancel summer school programs, and possibly shorten the academic year.
Without a strong economic recovery, which few experts predict, the reduced school funding could last for years, shortchanging millions of students, driving away residents and businesses, and darkening California’s economic future.
“California used to lead the nation in education,” U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said during a recent visit to San Francisco. “Honestly, I think California has lost its way, and I think the long-term consequences of that are very troubling.”
The budget cuts will be especially painful for struggling schools such as Richmond High School, where more than half of its 1,700 students are English learners and three-quarters are considered poor. The East Bay area school has failed to meet academic standards set by the federal No Child Left Behind Act for more than four years.
