This is a hoot:
[Regardless, Blumenthal said, the price would be fully justified, calling it "an investment that will repay itself many times over."]
How exactly will it repay itself ? As an illegal alien, these people cannot legally put their educations to use in the US -- they can't legally be employed. So how exactly will this be an "investment" in the state's future ?
The state has already wasted over $100K educating this illegal alien in K-12. Educating a person at the state's expense who can never legally earn a living, and therefor not pay taxes or contribute to the economy ? That's a stupid "investment."
How well the RATs do at changing the language. This "investment" nonsense started with Clinton. He knew the American people were in no mood for massive increases in government spending, so instead of spending, the government now "invests".
We need to stop using their false language. ITS SPENDING!
