She really should consider leaving!! It's getting so bad here. Incredibly expensive, too many illegals (or for the seeensitive, "undocumented workers") soaring health care costs because of the drain they are on our society, and a lacking eductation for the children who deserve it!! (We scored at the bottom of all states on education -- theory is that it's because of the "I no spekee English" contingent). Which brings to mind a little humor....
Mujibar was trying to get into the USA legally through Immigration. The Officer said, "Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except there is one more test. Unless you pass it, you cannot enter the United States of America."
Mujibar said, "I am ready."
The officer said, "Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink, and Green."
Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, "Mister Officer, I am ready
The Officer said, "Go ahead."
Mujibar said, "The telephone goes green, green, green, and I pink it up and say, 'Yellow, this is Mujibar.'"
Mujibar now lives in a neighborhood near you and works as an AOL tech., I talked to him yesterday.
When you say "all states" you mean in the United States? Including Florida and Mississippi? No way! Who's going to take advantage of your sweet free college deal?
We live in Shasta County. It's not too bad yet although we do get a lot of welfare derelicts who have discovered it's a relatively cheap part of California to live (although that is changing quickly)
My wife is a Pre-School Director and has been working in that position for 25 years. She doesn't really want to start over someplace else. Plus her mother still lives in town and my wife won't leave until her mom has passed on. I keep telling her that Nevada is close to momma (and cheaper) but so far it's a no-go.
I guess I can stay for a while until the state sales tax hits 10% or Prop 13 gets killed off and my property taxes head for the moon. We'll see...I'm an optomist and I'll get her out eventually, LOL!!
