Bravo Janet, The politicians see the ilegals as poor dependents of the state...people they have to protect...this flies in the face of the Constitution, The Bill of Rights of every LEGAL US CITIZEN, and the oath our representives took when they took office. These are federal crimes. Cull the representitive "herd" and maybe they will get the message, and we will once again get a representitive government. Or as Jefferson once said" a revolution now and then is good for the country".

This is the kind of stuff I love to see in print.

http://www.diggersrealm.com/mt/archives/00111...

"Educating Children Of Illegal Aliens Costs $28.6 Billion Per Year."

AND THEN IT SAYS

"... Estimates based on Census Bureau data, suggest that there are about 1.5 million illegal alien children and an additional 2 million U.S.-born children of illegal aliens in K-12 classrooms across the country.

California, at $7.7 billion a year, leads the nation in expenditures for education of the children of illegal aliens, but five other states also have costs in excess of a billion dollars annually."

So that's 3.5 million kids.....



They are stating there's over a million per child, per year spent. COMPLETE BS.

I know damn well that's a lie. Many of us went to school and didn't have nowhere near that spent. Hell, teachers often find other professions because of such low pay.

If anything, that money is being funneled to other things, not unlike $5,000 toilet seats for the military, and the blame being passed on.

I got to admit though, it's a good cover for funneling cash by whipping everyone up into a fury.

But then again, an American public who spent days watching every move of Anna Nicole Smith's trial, so there you have it.
