The Cost of Educating the Children Of Illegal Immigrants.

The lead article in our local rag, The Contra Costa Slimes, this morning dealt with the corrupt practices of the local school district's top lawyer who hid the fact that he was romantically involved with the owner of Advanced Interpreting Services (AIS) while recommending that the Mt. Diablo School District approve nearly $100,000 in contracts for translation services provided to the district by his girlfriend's company. This type of corruption in California public employees is commonplace and the article would not have caught my attention if it were not for the fact it, once again, pointed out the hidden costs of illegal immigration to the citizens of California. The same, of course, can be said for all states who are being overwhelmed by non-English speaking foreigners of illegal status, the vast majority of whom come from South America. Just think of this! In one five month period, from 8/2011 to 1/2012, the Mt. Diablo School District spent $94,000, or $18,800 a month, of the tax payers money for translation services (I was unaware that there was such a thing). At that rate, the district shells out around $225,600 a year so that, among other things, the parents of illegal immigrant children can understand what is being discussed at school board meetings. How many of these illegal's actually attend school board meetings is, of course, a matter of conjecture and of no interest to newspaper or the school district. Now consider this! There are 647 school districts in California and, if we consider the Mt. Diablo district to be of average size, this means that California tax payers are paying about $146 million each and every year just in translation serves for the children of illegal immigrants. Now I ask you, when was the last time you heard anyone in public or private life discus the cost of translation services for illegal's? I expect never! My point is that there undoubtedly are innumerable costs resulting from our failure to secure the boarders that are hidden from us by the corrupt politicians who run the state of California and the federal government. As is the case with this corrupt lawyer and his girlfriend, the unelected bureaucrats who, under the not so watchful eyes of their liberal political allies, reap huge financial rewards from the illegal's that crowd our school, hospitals and prisons. In the long run, the liberal politicians who refuse to support meaningful enforcement of our porous boarders will benefit from illegal immigration because most of the wet-backs who cross the Reo Grande ultimately will be granted citizenship, or some other form of legal status, and join the masses of unproductive lowlifes that make up the democratic parties' voting base. In the meantime, the rest of us are just screwed. Have a good day!
