Getting pricey
Dear Editor,
Recently the State of North Carolina has been wondering how to handle illegal immigrants.
According to the Pew Center, we have between 250,000 and 425,000 in our state. The Republicans are holding the government hostage trying to cut wasteful spending. Obama won 7 out of 10 Latino votes and people said he may have bought their votes. Could that be because of what he allows to be spent a year on illegal aliens? Food assistance programs, $2.2 billion; Medicaid, $2.5 billion, primary and secondary education for non-English speaking students, $12 billion, as well as $17 billion for education of "anchor" babies. Another $3 million per day goes for incarceration of illegal aliens: 30 percent of federal prison inmates are illegals. While $90 billion dollars a year is spent for welfare and social services by the American taxpayer.
After all this, illegals in 2006 were able to send $45 billion dollars back to their country of origin – $45 billion we borrowed from China to support them that should have stayed in the US to help our economy.
