A new poll shows that 61% of Coloradans want a copy of Arizonas law allowing law enforcement to investigate those they encounter who exhibit reasonable suspicion of being an illegal alien.
A recent study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform discovered that illegal aliens cost Colorado taxpayers more than $1.1 billion per year, or about $612 per household. Additionally, between $730 million and $1 billion per year of wages paid to illegal aliens is sent out of the country instead of being reinvested in local communities.
More than 10% of the students in Colorado public schools are the children of illegal aliens, costing the taxpayers $11,000 each per year, for an annual total of $925 million. Another $68 million per year is spent on programs for limited English students, who are mostly the children of illegal aliens. These costs do not include the costs to the federal government incurred by illegal aliens in the Colorado public education system.
Illegal aliens cost Colorado taxpayers $82 million per year. This does not include the health care costs which are charged to the federal government or the higher premiums paid by Coloradans to help cover costs incurred by illegal aliens in Colorado.
Colorado taxpayers pay $38 million per year to incarcerate illegal aliens in Colorado. This estimate only covers a small portion of the cost of criminal aliens to Colorado.
The minimum cost of $1.1 billion per year to the Colorado budget due to illegal aliens is double the current Colorado budget deficit of $560.7 million. If illegal aliens left the state of Colorado, this $560.7 budget deficit would turn into a surplus of about the same amount. One suspects that the percentage of Coloradans in favor of enacting an Arizona-style law would be even higher, if these figures were widely known.

Dayem!!!!
They were in Phoenix with their CPUSA/LaRaza signs for about 2 hours of photo ops. Very quiet, no trouble(didn’t dare, this ain’t L.A.) then left.

Deport them all. “

I hope the Repubs run this and similar statements in the campagnes for all canidates. It will be fun to watch the Dems spew pretzil logic while arguing against this.
CPUSA? I knew it! This organized crap had commie agitation written all over it. The Commies (and Fascists) MO is to divide the people by any means and turn the divided against each other. Adds a whole new meaning to community organizer.
Looks like they’re beginning to realize Americans are not gonna take their crap anymore.
As FReeper dennisw posted: they think we Americans are dumb and not paying attention to the national business b/c we are laid-back and conduct ourselves discreetly.
Yeah, Marxist-thug “organizer”
Obama left that part out.
Look at the sign in post 18. Two CPUSA gals were there early making these signs.
” As FReeper dennisw posted: they think we Americans are dumb and not paying attention to the national business b/c we are laid-back and conduct ourselves discreetly. “
The laid back part was up until now. For those of you that don’t know Arizona, the discussions overheard in Starbucks, centers around going to war, not baseball.
The worse the economy gets the less laid back Americans are going to be. The more anti-illegals they are going to be. Arizona would not have, could not have passed these anti-illegal immigrant laws a few years ago during the real estate boom that gave jobs to many illegals. But now that their services are no longer needed but Arizona is left with the crime and welfare burdens.... This all became overwhelming so the anti-illegal alien laws passed. A side benefit is less money will be spent on schools when the illegal aliens leave with their broods
” A side benefit is less money will be spent on schools when the illegal aliens leave with their broods “
We have had school closings too.
We have had school closings too.>>>>>>>
I’ll bet a few bi-lingual teachers are out of jobs too. (sob sob...I’m tearing up)
Yeah, Marxist-thug organizer
Commie-Unity Organizer...
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!
Even better ;-)
Did you two know that we closed all courses that “favors one race over another” in the public schools?
Yeah baby!
No more black liberation studies
No more LaRaza/hispanic studies.
Teachers who taught these courses must show competence in another area of study,and placed there, or they are fired.
Oh good----I'm getting tired of this "Pay-Me-I'm-a-Victim" mentality.
I’m certain that we are the only state to do this. It took real balls! ;-)
Way ta go, CO
