Why no stories about taxpayers?


To the Editor:

Rather than giving in-state college tuition to illegal aliens, how about giving college scholarships to New Jersey residents? There is certainly a better use of my tax dollars than subsidizing people who have no right to live in my country. I notice that all of these news articles start with a sob story for the illegal alien. Why not start with a story on the horrific tax burden New Jerseyans bear for illegal alien benefits like Section 8 housing and food stamps and free hospitalization and free education for illegals?

Felipe Vargas already received $80,000 in free education from New Jersey taxpayers. That is $80,000 that should have gone to a legal American student. Although Vargas was brought here as a child, his parents were quite aware that they were entering the country illegally. When you break the law, you pay the consequences. I would suggest that Vargas attend a university in the country in which he is a legal resident. I am sure that he speaks fluent Spanish, so language is not an issue. Vargas is now at an age where he understands his illegal status. He and his family need to leave the country and apply for legal status just like legal immigrants have done for more than 100 years.

As an aside, why don't you write a story about the horrific effects of illegal immigration on U.S. citizens? How about the $320 billion legal citizens pay per year for illegal benefits? How about the 25 Americans murdered each day by illegals? How about the hospitals going bankrupt due to free care to illegals who have baby after baby, year after year, with nary a thought to paying for these children? How about the additional taxes we are paying for people who have no right to be here? I see many sympathy stories for illegals. How about one for the American taxpayer for a change?

Thanks Lois, very well put. This should be sent to every legislator that serves the ("US") american public, local and national.
Thanks again,

What an excellent, well-written letter!

Really good letter.

Dittooooo.....to all of the above!!

I live in NJ, in fact the Daily Record is my local paper. Our economy/budget is really on the ropes. We can't afford giveaways to anyone - much less illegal aliens.

No stories about CITIZEN taxpayers because OUR nation is NOT America, it's ALIENMERICA!

Someone get Lois Culhane an ALIPAC membership!
