New Jersey has the highest percentage of high school graduates that leave their home state to pursue their college education, in the entire Western world. This is specifically due to a lack of total number of seats at colleges and universities in New Jersey.
TO add insult to injury, not only do parents in NJ have to send their kids out of state to get a college education at out of state rates, they now have to financially support through onerous tax increases the illegal immigrants who are directly competing for the in state tuition rates and admissions slots with the New Jerseyites’ own children.
It’s not bad enough that every taxpayer in the state has several thousand dollars a year confiscated to pay for the public school education of illegal immigrant minors in the state. If NJ taxpayers weren’t forced to pay those rate for the entirety of their childraising years, and instead were able to invest those funds in their childrens’ education funds, every child of a taxpayer in NJ would be able to go to a private university.
Exactly right. Believe me, I know - my youngest is graduating from Penn State in another month. Do you think NJ residents will express outrage? Or will they dutifully vote for Corzine again. My fingers are crossed for a Lonegan win.
