California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has sent out 10,100 pink slips to teachers and is cutting $4 Billion from the education budget. The last time California did this was in 2003 when then Gov. Davis had a $30 Billion state debt. That year they cut 20,000 teacher jobs. And Gov. Davis was recalled, then Gov. Schwarzenegger was voted in.
California has the largest population of illegal immigrants in their school system. this is the MAIN reason for the education budget short falls. The San Diego school district has illegal immigrants coming across the boarder on the trolley each day to go school and then return to Mexico at night.
Earlier this week the California Government passed a bill requiring home schooled children to be taught by a certified teacher. Insane, the parents are trying to get their children out of this failing system and the government shuts them down.
California’s health care system is also in trouble with emergency rooms across the state closing. This has been happening since the 90′s when I contracted with many of their hospitals. And it was and is because they could not afford to give their care away for free to the illegal immigrants flooding the emergency rooms. By law they are required to care for them.
The San Fransisco Chronicle quotes Gov. Schwarzenegger as saying, “The only problem that we have in our Capitol is that when we have a surge in revenues, we grab all that money, and when our revenues flatten out, then we don’t have money to supplement the revenues,” he said in a recent news conference. “So this is why we are taking education and vulnerable citizens on an up-and-down roller-coaster ride, and everyone has to hold on for dear life.”
They way for California to right the ship is to cut off the incentives to the illegal immigrant population. California’s property taxes, that pay for education, is already among the highest in the nation. How can the Governor play this game with the citizens? When will he stop giving the peoples money away to illegal immigrants?

If I understand your above article (California to Fire…….) correctly, it appears that you are saying that California’s Economic Problms are COMPLETLEY THE FAULT OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS! Is that Correct?
Armando,
The Education and Health care systems are in the trouble they are in because of the illegal population in California.
When people have moved out of the state and have taken their $7 Billion with them because of the higher taxes to fund the welfare of illegal immigrants, it is their fault.
The rest of the fault lays at the feet of the liberal social programs. And them not cutting off the “incentives” for the illegals to go their in the first place. California has become a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants and a state cannot sustain itself under that pressure.
California cannot continue to raise its taxes on the legal citizens to pay for the illegal citizens. That is just wrong!
Colorado by comparison looses 1Billion a year to illegal immigrants.

“According to the Denver Post, February 6, 2008, approximately 500,000 illegal aliens are in Colorado. This annually costs Coloradans $564.1 million for education, $38.4 million for medical costs, and $20 million for prisons. When you add the costs of free breakfasts, lunches, lost taxes of under the table wages, unemployment to illegals, and the unemployment of Coloradans whose jobs have been taken by the illegal workforce, illegal immigration cost the taxpayers of Colorado $1 BILLION ANNUALLY.”

Hey now..
You can’t put this one at the feet of liberals, Bush has done nothing to curb the issue. McCain has even said he’d grant them amnesty, and we know he won’t do a damn thing about the border if he is elected. This is one of those issues that our politicians are NOT going to help us with.
However, according to a few bloggers, some illegals are going back to where they came from. According to the statistics, there are less contruction jobs due to the economy. Since a lot of those jobs were being taken by illegals and those jobs no longer as plentiful, they’re heading home. This just proves that all our government would have to do is shut down the businesses that exploit the illegals and allow them pay low wages. If they did that, less would come over here and we’d end up filtering things out somewhat.
But sadly, I think this will have to be a state by state thing because I don’t think the federal government will do it.
I put it a the feet of liberal ideas. Your right President Bush and McCain tried to get their form of amnesty passed. The people stopped it.
States like Arizona and Oklahoma have the most strict laws or shall we say the states that are enforcing their laws. Yes there is a exodus of illegals from their states.
“Colorado Governor Bill Ritter is refusing to enforce Colorado 2006 HB 1023. This bill requires government agency workers to check an applicants immigrations status with the federal online system called SAVE (systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements). This is a big issue for Coloradans who understand the impact this has on our states ability to provide services to its legal residents.”

There is also a bill called the SAVE Act for a Federal law requiring businesses to check this system for verification.
Currently the means of ID used by illegal immigrants is easily forged and with out a check available for employers.
I HAVE LIVED AT THE BORDER IN CALEXICO, CA SINCE 1972
I HAVE SEEN THE GROWTH IN CALEXICO. I UNDERSTAND ABOUT PROPERTY TAXES, AND SALES TAXES(LOCAL)
I AM AN EMPLOYEE OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, I AM AWARE OF THE STUDENTS COMING FROM MEXICO EVERYDAY.
THE CONSTRUCTION OF HOMES IN THE VALLEY IS AMAZING . THESE STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS SPEND MONEY ON FOOD, CLOTHING AND GAS AT THIS SIDE OF THE BORDER.
MEXICALI, BC MEXICO HAS 1 MILLION POPULATION AND CALEXICO CA USA HAS APPROX. 40,000
HOW MUCH PERCENTAGE OF THIS POPULATION CROSSS THE BORDER AND SPEND AVERAGE IN CALEXICO.
A COMMENT MOST OF THOSE STUDENTS WHO COMMUTE DAILY ARE US CITIZENS I WOULD SAY 90%
ARE US CITIZENS BORN IN US.
ARE WE DENYING THESE US CITIZENS OF EDUCATION.
The point is that these students or their families are not citizens within that district, paying the taxes that support the school. Being a US Citizen upon birth is only given to Mexicans, it has been discussed as to whether that should remain the case.
As you may also know this is a 2 edged hospital care topic, on one side the hospital gets paid for the birth through Medi-cal, on the other side, the emergency room doesn’t get paid for the care they by law have to provide. This is the cause of so many ER’s closing.
The populations will continue to cross both ways and spend money on both sides, but having the right to work or live here is a process that must be followed. As far as denying education, that is not possible to do to citizens that choose or by there families situation, live outside of the country.
Take Back Our Country Song
Hi,
Can you please place a link on your website / or blog; to this Take Back Our Country Song it’s a patriotic song that is very inspiring, and truthful. I wrote this song after being fed up with what I see happening in my neighborhood and to our country daily on the news.
I am just an ordinary citizen that went away to serve at age 19. And I am sick and tired of the lies and chaos our ELECTED SELLOUT OFFICIALS has put this country into. So I wanted to do my part, as a soldier of the USANG, I wrote this song and put it on this video.
My state Louisiana was hit hard by hurricane Katrina and hundreds of illegal aliens moved into our community took away jobs that we Americans were ready to do, and now crime has gone thru the roof. I am sick and tired of these people in my neighborhood and hanging out on our street corners. WE MUST DO SOMETHING TO PUT A STOP TO THIS!
Please check out my video Take Back Our Country Song on YouTube.com here’s the link. And FORWARD it to everyone on your email list. This is my way of fighting back and giving back to my country.

Please, I served my country in the US Army National Guards, and I hate what’s happening to our country. We must do all we can to Take Her Back!
Thank you,

Dear Mr. Richie Collins
I am a child of several illegal aliens that came to the U.S. in the early 1900s. Each of them served in the Mexican Army and reared their children in the ideals of patriotism and nationalism. Well, we have since put in over 125 years of service to the U.S. Armed forces. I am the 3rd generation to serve in the USARNG (Army National Guard), and the women alone have accounted for nearly 30 years of service. So, what you see may be illegal aliens sitting on a corner, but what’s yet to come…is the doctor, soldier, nurse, teacher (which I am), principal (which I also am), and lawyer that’s gonna support you or any one of your descendants. Needless to say, we ain’t bad looking people either, so…uh, your kid could end up marrying us, if our family permits it. Mucha suerte, amigo!
