SACRAMENTO, Calif. -
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he's "happy" illegal immigrants get state services and says they're not to blame for California's $24.3 billion budget gap.

Schwarzenegger, an immigrant himself, says the estimated $4 billion to $5 billion the state spends on illegal immigrants annually is a "small percentage" of the deficit.

The Republican governor told The Sacramento Bee's editorial board on Friday that it's easy to "scapegoat" illegal immigrants. But he says the state's budget has a much deeper spending imbalance.

He noted the federal government requires California to provide emergency health care and education to illegal immigrants. And he says illegal immigrants often help pick the state's crops and construct its buildings.''

That is double talk, right from the Terminator himself. On the one hand he says that the Feds require the state to pick up the cost of medical and educational costs for the illegals (I think he can see that if they were not there, this would not be a cost item, can't he?), white in the next breath talking about what a help they are to the state like a good lib.

Like most Republicans today, Arnold is no different from any other Democrat, and considering his background, I'm not surprised he sides with the aliens. Do you recall just a few years ago they were talking about how we should amend the Constitution so that he could become President? Now we know that the "native born citizen" prhase does not mean anything anyway, so that really would not be necessary and Arnold could be president if he could wrestle it away from the Chicago thugs (lots of luck with that!).

Arnold has been a real disappointment to those who actually thought he would govern as a conservative. It's sad because California could have had a real conservative governor in Tom McClintock, but the party honchos wanted Arnold as did the starstruck voters. So they got what they deserved, i suppose.
Still, it's sad to see what is happening to California.
