California is quickly becoming a battleground for immigration policy as a cross-section of leaders across the state vowed to fight any plans by President-elect Donald Trump to deport thousands of people in the U.S. illegally. Trump said during the presidential campaign that he’ll build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and deport people in the country illegally.
California has some of the nation’s most liberal policies when it comes to handling immigrants here illegally. The state has allowed them to get driver’s licenses, health coverage for children and in-state tuition.
“I’m close to becoming a U.S. citizen,” Vega said. “But I think of my brothers and sisters who have recently immigrated, who are barely learning the language and who are being punished because of the color of their skin.

There is a big difference between illegal immigrants, and illegal immigrants who are criminals.
Sort of like a certain kind of criminal is not a "bank robber", they are merely "bank clients withdrawing other people's money".

With the money they make illegally? I'm so glad we get 7% of that back.

Yes, they do...spending non-income-taxed dollars, earned in illegal employment.
They get freebees, while actual American citizens have to pay taxes on their incomes, pay for their own health care and their kids' tuition - assuming they are able to find a job that wasn't already taken by somebody who is not supposed to be in the Country.

are you suggesting that it`s ok for someone to commit crimes as long as they pay taxes?
what other crimes should a tax payer be allowed to commit? rape? murder? tax evasion?

So its more about which taxes they have to pay?
Most mexican women are raped on the way here illegally. The Mexican Coyotes are often the ones that rape them. Come here legally and none of this would happen

Not at all. Why do you think illegal immigration is on the same level as murder and rape?
