#1 California has been running businesses off for years.

#2 "One Bill Gil" Cedillo was the asshole pushing Drivers Licenses for Illegals. He's pushing unconstitutional crap ..again. Public funds can't be disbursed in a politically discriminatory fashion. Perhaps they need their funds cut

#3 The whole flipping' point of public bid laws is to prevent prevent politicians from putting their thumbs on the scale. The public seems to think that giving politicians the ability to influence the award of public contracts would create enormous opportunities for graft. I can't imagine why anyone would think that, but a lot of people do.

#4 I'm fine with this - let CA continue to implode. Sorry, Frank G - get out while there's still time!

#5 Raj, you don't just hand a state like California to the Mexicans. Have you ever been here? It is worth fighting for. And you can bet your butt they won't stop with California. How much do you want to give them? Arizona? New Mexico? Nevada? Colorado? Texas? Where does it stop? IMHO, the way to deal with the Cedillos and the Laras of this state is for the federal government to slap them down each and every time they get out of line. If they pass unconstitutional law then get the courts to throw them out. If they break the law then lock them up. If their friends, family and business associates are here illegally then deport them. By all means, cut their funding. No more block grants. No more research grants. And, yes, I would scrutinize very closely their contacts with the Mexican government.

#6 I hope it turns out that way, Abu, but CA politicians look determined to commit suicide:

California Gov. Jerry Brown’s budget proposal includes tens of millions of dollars for the legal defense of illegal immigrants.

The Los Angeles Times reported Sunday that the budget would include a total of $33 million in state government assistance to illegal immigrants.

These funds, however, are not enough for some Democrats in the state who seek to launch new programs. Democratic legislators have proposed three separate bills that impact legal training, start a legal defense program and increase counsel for deported veterans. These proposals add up to more than $26 million.

#7 Abu, I support giving Cali and it's residents to Mexico for "reparations" and building a wall around the border. Let the citizens enjoy the benefits of Mexican citizenship
