Wednesday: Illegal aliens and Medicaid

They broke the law to bust through America’s borders. So why are some illegal aliens now eligible for Medicaid? Scarborough Country. Tonight at 10 on MSNBC.

The main article post talks about state cutting education budgets left and right. They must not be looking at Idaho. The Idaho Education Association has the politicians by the gonads. They ALWAYS get increases. This year, the income and property taxes just weren't enough. They forced the sales tax up from 5% to 6%. The schools are still producing a poor product at a higher cost each year. Idaho doesn't have a big impact from illegals (yet), but education sucks 70% of the state budget.

It is a travesty that government is even involved in dispensing taxpayer money to pay for medical services for ANYONE. Paying for criminals who have crossed illegally into our country really takes the cake. If we can't legally prevent illegals from partaking of our schools and medical care, then the only hope is to lock up the border to reduce the ever increasing burden they place on the taxpayers.
