'Won't someone please think of the children!' Bush III cries -
Don't you just love how generous he is, with your money? This is the basis for the quintessential argument that needs to happen in this country simply because it underlies every problem that we are dealing with socially. Let us explain the situation with a formula.
Citizens * Cost = Expense
If there are 30,000 citizens being educated at $10 each, that equal $300,000. Do a little spreading of the cost among your 300,000 citizens in your area and we're talking $1 each. Not too shabby. Now let's introduce Perry's formula.
Citizens + Immigrants * Cost = Expense
If there are 30,000 citizens being educated at $10 each PLUS 2,000 illegal immigrants that equal $320,000. Spreading of the cost among your 300,000 citizens in your area and we're now talking $1.07 each. A 7% increase in cost that is being carried predominantly by the citizens. Now add on welfare, food stamps and other factors and that cost quickly goes from 7% to more like 30%.
This is the heart of the matter facing America. True, a healthy system can support some mooching. But a parasite that continues to grow will eventually kill the host. In this country we have spent via credit card at the local, State and Federal level as well as personally and now the bills are due.
Perry needs to recognize that the gravy train for all people in this country needs to stop and this has nothing to do with empathy, but just plain common sense.
During Thursday night's Republican presidential debate, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum all took shots at Rick Perry's record on illegal immigration. Bachmann said that Texas's law allowing in-state tuition for the children of illegal immigrants acted like a "magnet" for illegal immigrants. Perry's response was forceful and personal. "I don't think you have a heart," Perry told his critics.The Real Effect
