Schwarzenegger to Close 220 State Parks

Closing the parks is ridiculous, of course, and legalizing pot, I agree, would ease some pain (yes, I fully intend the irony there, and full disclosure dictates that I state that I am now eligible for medicinal marijuana, so take it as you will) but I would like to know why, with such a terrible budgetary mess, California still supplies so much aid to Mexico in the form of health services, education, etc to illegal aliens? Cut off the money to illegals, impose stiff penalties on hiring them, and send them home, and I have no doubt the budget will bounce back further than it will by closing some campgrounds. Why is nobody focusing in on the real problems and real solutions?
