One of the primary causes of overcrowding in our state prisons is the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants housed in state prisons.  These are criminals who already violated the law by entering California illegally, and then further committed crimes serious enough to warrant time in state prison. Their mere presence in California prisons is a reflection of the federal government’s failure to control our borders. John will press, and if necessary, sue the federal government to make them pay California back for the billions we spend incarcerating illegal immigrant prisoners.
