Apparently our state government isn’t aware that they have an untapped source of about half a billion dollars available to them: illegal immigrants. It is always amazing to me that our state is willing to close parks and allow teachers to be displaced by non-citizens, but they will never once deprive an illegal of services that they are not entitled to even though the sums of money involved are enormous.
I have heard many people say that the services are mandated by law. Even if that was true, there is no law preventing us from requiring that you identify yourself as an illegal immigrant to get the service and then working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to deport them.
But people will not seek medical care and die if they face deportation? Hey, a bank robber shot in the arm has to make that decision, too, and illegals have trespassed into a foreign country without the invitation of its populace. That’s a crime all over the world, folks.
We have to stop thinking like Californians and avoid their fate while we still have a chance. Don’t let anyone suggest another tax until the illegal immigrants are cut completely out of our system.
