Way to go, Governor Christie! I’ve been reading the worn-out statement that the cuts in the budget are cheating the poor, most vulnerable, etc. Here’s the gist of an article that recently appeared in the news. You decide who is being cheated.
A member of the administration of a child care center in Newark was bemoaning the fact that the state cut their budget. The person stated that illegal immigrants are being adversely affected to a great degree. They added the fact that the illegals were working off the books, which further complicated chances of the illegals getting any additional help from the government.
Well, who is being cheated and adversely affected here? I say it is the New Jersey taxpayer!
Why should taxpayers support people who have broken our laws three times — once by entering the country illegally, once by working off the books, and again by not paying taxes to at least offset the costs of any services they receive. This is just one example of many as to why the state is in dire financial shape.
Thank you, Governor Christie. Please keep up the good work!
