In my home county the hospital closed it's doors. That was the only hospital in the entire county. Where are people supposed to go in an emergency? How many tax paying American citizens have died because there is no medical facility in the whole county? BTW, we're talking Texas sized counties - an hour drive from one side to the other.
My property taxes have skyrocketed from what 10 years ago amounted to 2 weeks takehome pay to nearly 2 MONTHS takehome pay. And this with the same job and same house. It's all due to the school district having to more than double it's buildings, increase the ESL classes, and not only is the free lunch program growing but now we have free breakfast.
My brother's daughter is a registered nurse in Maryland. She says they are getting a lot of Mexican walk-ins. They have no money or insurance y ellos no haban Ingles. And it's the same situation here in the Ohio river valley.
Now,somebody's paying for those ER visits, and it sure ain't Presidente Fox.
I consider *that* state of affairs to be "sinister", and I refuse to allow pseudo-cons to smear me as a bigot or racist because I don't want to pay for the medical treatment of foreigners here breaking our laws.
For anyone who takes exception to that, next time you're in a restaurant, when it comes time to pay the tab ask the waitress to give it to someone of a different race. When they object, accuse them of racism . . . there it is.
Life is so much simpler for liberals you know. They're right about everything, of course, and we're monsters. Or bigots or `xenophobes'. (la de da)
When the OBLs start losing the argument, they start with the name calling. I'm used to that with leftys, I just don't expect to hear that kind of stuff here.
Time to play hardball with government officials and public employees. Elected officials, and government employees who handle the public purse, are subject to a higher standard of law than ordinary citizens. They serve under stricter rules, and must abide by specific laws:
ESTABLISHED FACT
Every elected and appointed government official, and government employee---in their capacity as fiduciaries of public monies---are required, by law, to be bonded by state bonding insurance carriers. The express purpose of bonding government officials and employees is to protect the public's money. Each state sets their own regulations, and selects a bonding insurance carrier.
Public entities that mandate bonding include: Municipalities, counties, townships (government employees of school districts, licensing agencies, and the like), ambulance districts, volunteer fire departments, community college districts, public universities, transit authorities, landfills, sewage treatment facilities, public works maintenance facilities, airports.
IMPACT
Taxpayers' concerns center on instances when elected and appointed public officials use government agencies fraudulently, misuse tax dollars to allow illegals to get government benefits and school subsidies, voting rights, auto licenses, building permits, welfare, food stamps, health care, and other government benefits, and the like using false documenation. These are examples of fiduciary negligence by a bonded government employee, and would violate the state's bonding regulations, and the carrier's bonding requirements.
SUMMATION
MISUSING THE PUBLIC ASSETS OF GOVERNMENT---ALLOWING ILLEGAL ALIENS TO USE FRAUDULENT DOCUMENTATION TO OBTAIN SCHOOL SUBSIDIES, GOVERNMENT BENEFITS, DRIVERS' LICENSES, VOTING RIGHTS IS FIDUCIARY NEGLIGENCE BY A BONDED GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL. GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES WHO MISUSE PUBLIC AGENCIES AND PUBLIC FUNDS WOULD INCUR FINES OR IMPRISONMENT UNDER BONDING RULES.
FOLLOW-UP (what to look for)
Now, if a bonded government employee OR ELECTED OFFICIAL had previous financial problems---perhaps a bankruptcy or a job loss for financial improprieties, etc, that would preclude bonding---and if they failed to reveal the info to bonding agents, that would subject them to legal penalties for filing false applications.
Public officials with past financial problems who do not qualify for bonding would have to be tossed out of office.
If it is determined a public official failed to apply for bond coverage, he/she has broken the law, and is subject to an actionable offense.
Now, say government funds were stolen and the public official had failed to get bond coverage; the state would have no way to recover that money other than restitution through a criminal prosecution.
Public officials who lied on bonding applications might be subjected to fines or imprisonment.
Very interesting point. There's one of the "hidden" costs of illegal immigration that often gets overlooked.
By the way, here's a chart that shows some interesting numbers, total yearly USA expenditures on Public Elementary and Secondary Education from 1961 through 2003.
Long story short, we spend almost 4 times as much now on education as we did 40 years ago.
