Helen, they are American in every way except one, they don’t pay taxes like the rest of us citizens. The public school he attended, the health care, and the college all receive funding from tax paying citizens, yet this young man and his family accepted those services but did not contribute toward their funding. The tuition that he scraped together was all done with untaxed dollars. So while some poor citizen whose parents have to pay taxes and don’t have enough extra cash to send their child to college, this young man who works illegally, off the books and therefore doesn’t contribute a dime toward the public institution he attends takes a slot. For every illegal immigrate educated in our public colleges, one legal citizen misses out, that is a cold hard fact. There are a limited number of slots available at publically funded colleges, and those slots belong to tax paying citizens. My tears are directed toward the tax paying citizen who couldn’t attend CCC because this illegal had his spot.”
