INSTATE TUITION FOR ILLEGALS WILL ADD TO BUDGET WOES

 

According to the Federation For American Immigration Reform  Colorado spends $1.1 billion per year on illegal immigrants. Of that, $925 million goes toward educating illegal immigrants, $82 million toward health care and $38 million toward incarceration.

Given the numbers anyone can see how the welfare type spending on illegal immigration is breaking the budget. So how do the Democrats propose to fix this problem? If you said give more of our tax money to illegal immigrants, you would be right. The Democrat Legislature plans to reintroduce a bill granting instate tuition to illegal immigrants.

Instead of approaching the budget issue with common sense, Colorado Democrats continue to prove they would rather spend our money than make tough decisions. Speaking of tough decisions, if this bill passes through the Democrat controlled Legislature does anyone think that Governor Ritter will veto it? Given Ritter's spending record, my guess would be... no.
