I have lost so much interest in posting here as I watch the Gallup polls and find that no one has been changing their minds much and the country is completely polarized. Each day I find another ten attacks on our liberties originating with the White House and implemented by someone with White House ties. That could be from a far left member of congress, a Czar, The Center for American Progress, The SEIU or any one of many other White House allies intent on "fundamentally changing America". I read articles and can't even decide which one may actually wake someone up. Some of the best insight into the issues of the day can be gained from this blog by following the RSS feed on the left of page 1 to read Will, Krauthammer or Sowell or the links at the top to many informational sites. Then I realize there aren't many who read this blog anyway and those who do so are either already on board or reading to be amused by what I am saying today. But this can at times be a good source for me to start my reading of the day and then to post my thoughts as an outlet for my frustration generated from the days news.
In today's news, the Arizona Republic has a big article about how our Arizona Schools are going to lose enrollment because the illegal immigrants are leaving.
http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/05/28/20100528arizona-immigration-law-schools.html They write it from the viewpoint of what a terrible thing this is to chase away families from their homes. There are families going to other states who are more friendly to them. I am sorry but wasn't part of the problem in Arizona, the overcrowding of schools and funding services for illegal immigrants. Whether that be healthcare, education, food, housing subsidies etc, the point was if they left then the jobs they are doing need to be filled by someone legal and the services they are using no longer need to be provided. Isn't that a good thing, unless you are a leader of the teachers union who sees potential drop in teachers union membership. Every other private part of the economy has had to contract in this economy and thus we need to be willing to take the jobs that were once held by the illegals regardless of what we used to do. Government employees see no correlation between their income/employment and that of the people who are paying them (taxpayers). They are supported in that lack of ability to connect the dots by the media such as the Arizona Republic or as I call it the Repulsive.
I wonder when the other locales who consider themselves sanctuary states and cities will see the correlation between people who are illegally residing or working in their communities and their declining tax revenues which combine with an increased demand for services. I can assure you that when you drive around the Hispanic neighborhoods there are many more children than my neighborhood. I can not tell you how many are descendents of legals or illegals but there are many more children who, many in our society seem to feel, we have an obligation to care for regardless of the immigration status of their parents. Not only do some feel we have that obligation as a society but they also feel that because the children may now be US citizen children of two illegal immigrant parents the child has now become the ticket for their parents to remain in the US.
