The presence of illegals in California has nothing to do with its high costs. Both the West and East Coasts of the United States are high cost because people want to live here, so therefore real estate costs are high. How else can you explain a 3 bed, 2 bath starter home with less than 1300 square feet be worth $325,000. And that's the price in the Central Valley, not the pricey coastal areas.
Also the cost of produce, dairy and other agriculture products at the grocery store is not controlled by the producers (farmers, dairy producers, etc.) but by those higher up (the middle men.) There are many layers of middlemen between the land and the store and they all jack the price up.

Welfare and other social programs are not free.
Homegrown Mexican Leftist organizations have an interest in open Borders, 12 million illegal aliens+ Amnesty =Votes. Blessed will be the Party that reigns them in, Looks like The Dem's are Leading.

It takes alot of money to pay illegals welfare, health care, free education and other social programs and keep the United States of Welfare in a Press 1 for English, Press 2 for Illegal, society.

It's because they spend too much, and have made many programs have to be in the budget!
Almost all of this is due to the "Majority Rules" Referendums, which I believe are unconstitutional!
California has the 3rd largest economy in the world and they still can't make it!
Also, states are different than the government! They can't print money and they can't run a deficit!!

Real estate is a different subject from immigration...
Quit whining and stop blaming Mexicans for this...
Get some facts, stating your opinions doesn't make 'em true..
California is a rich state and it's because of it's diversity and hard-workers...

Illegals don't reduce the cost to consumer ... illegals swell the coffers of corporations, who certainly don't distribute any of the wealth back to the consumers ... all the pro illegals do is make sure big business has an underclass of people to pick and choose from ... some humanitarians they are, helping re establish slavery ...

It is just and excuse for everything, they help build houses now and the price has not gone down, the builders just pocket the savings.

Prices are up in everything else to help offset the cost the states pay in tax paid assistance that supports the freeloaders. Higher costs in real estate and other things means more taxes, to support them. TAXES YOU PAY!!

Real estate.
The cost of living in Calif. is weighed heavily on real estate.
The most productive real estate in the world.
Food, clothing, even gas and electricity pales in comparison to the price of housing.
