Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

Ergo, the issue is the cost of public services, health care and education for the "illegal" population. The cost is enormous! We are compassionate people, but we are not talking about a few people or small dollars here....And in a perfect world, we would pay for everyone in the world to have perfect lives. But this is not a perfect world, and our States are in dire financial condition. Where does the money come from. Yes, they provide cheap labor, but pay no taxes.... And if they are "illegal" - they are not here lawfully (right or wrong - regardless of what you think of the law...)

Americans have been indoctinated to believe we owe everything to everyone -- but we do not. We absolutely owe our own children, our truly needy, and those who can not take care of themselves. And we need to ensure the rights of all of own people first and foremost. But we absolutely do not owe everyone - everything. We can't afford it!!
