In 2003, Colorado taxpayers shelled out $140.6 million for educating children of the 250,000 illegal aliens in our state. Colorado taxpayers kissed off millions more of their hard earned money for state prisons housing thousands of illegal alien criminals. Anchor babies, free lunches and outright welfare fraud cost millions more to Colorado taxpayers. The meat packing plants in Greeley, Colorado employ so many illegal aliens, the town now offers a Mexican newspaper, La Tribuna, that allows the illegals to read about themselves in their own language.
It is a direct violation of Colorado’s mandate that English is the official language of the state. Believe me, I know many, many Coloradans are fed up not only with our Governor, its legislators, but its TV news media, print journalists and their local radio talk shows.
The sickening aspect of this invasion stems from the fact that the Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post papers support illegal migration and open borders. They won’t publish anything that contradicts their prime directive for forcing Colorado into a Third World quagmire. In the meantime, Colorado can’t maintain its roads let alone keep its schools funded while it suffers millions in lost tax revenues by illegals working off the books.
Barron’s Magazine last month exposed a huge underground economy whereby the IRS cannot collect $400 billion a year because of outright corruption of tax laws by employers across the USA. Colorado, no doubt, suffers loss of tax revenues from tens of thousands of illegals working for cash only.
More dramatic consequences stem from the fact that in 2003, eight illegal aliens raped eight women in Boulder, Colorado. All escaped back to Mexico, save one. He now receives three squares per day, a roof over his head and TV thanks to Colorado taxpayers. An illegal deliberately ran over a Denver cop in a school cross walk—breaking the cop’s leg along with severe internal injuries. John Hessler, Colorado University quarterback sustained a traumatic brain injury and a wheel chair existence when hit head-on in the night by two illegals who fled the scene of the accident. Those are a few of the stories of crime, rape, disease, burglary, intimidation, job loss and classroom chaos in our state.
I live in Colorado, and, as a former classroom teacher, it astounds me that education in our state suffers because of this illegal alien invasion. Dumbing down of our classrooms occurs with useless ESL classes. Half the kids can’t speak English, which degenerates the educational process for Colorado children. One-half the potential Denver Public Schools graduating seniors three years ago flunked out or quit before graduation. This educational crisis explodes all over the country.
But last week was the kicker for me. A local writer, Terry Graham, exposed Governor Owens when she laid bare his aiding, abetting and encouraging illegal aliens into the State of Colorado. In "Bill Owens’ Guide For Illegal Aliens: Cash In On Colorado!" published on www.Vdare.com, January 29, 2005, Graham exposed Governor Owens endorsing a booklet, "The Guide for the Mexican Migrant." Governor Bill Owens stands in direct conflict and violation with federal law: "A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he: assists an illegal alien she/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or encourages that illegal alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions." Federal Law--Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii) Governor Bill Owens violates his oath of office. In his booklet, he said, "As |
