PRESTOPUNDIT -- "It's a team sport, baby!"

Jill Stewart fisks the "big lie" -- the talking points memo which tells Democrats to talk about "immigrants" every time they are asked a question about illegals. Quotable:

in-depth state audit showed only 19% of illegals bother to file taxes, and the best data on illegal immigrants, from the late 1990s National Science Foundation study, shows that each citizen-headed household in California pays out a net extra $1,178 to shore up 3 million mostly low-income illegal immigrants.

It is also worth pointing out that foreign born workers drain $10 billion dollars out of the California economy every year -- sending it back home to Mexico. As an industry, this cash is Mexico's 2nd leading source of income.

And don't miss Stewart on workers comp at the end of the article. This is must read stuff, including this mind-bending fact:

Costco operates in 36 states in the U.S., but 70 percent of its workers compensation costs come from California.
