Recently, the Republican governor of California has proposed that the local government should send prisoners to Mexico, as the existing prison system in the state is pretty overcrowded. Arnold Schwarzenegger mentioned that the Californian government can save at least $1 billion dollars in taxpayer’s money if 20,000 undocumented inmates were to be sent to Mexico.
According to Arnold Schwarzenegger, he mentioned that the cost of setting up a prison system in Mexico would be approximately $500 million, but the potential savings would be tremendous.
Of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger is trying to explain that the Californian government is running on a $19.9 billion budget deficit and that the government is formulating ways to save money for the state and this is where the idea of sending prisoners to Mexico came in.
