In a recent article about allowing illegal immigrants to attend college, I found out that Gov. Perdue is not with reality.
She said she didn't know why illegals would want to attend college because they can't get jobs, then she needs to look around at road construction crews, flea markets, businesses, factories.
In another recent article in The Times, they say there is a rapid increase of illegal immigrants to the mountain areas.
Where do you think they get money to stay here? They recieve welfare and other benefits plus free health care, because they use false documents to get benefits.
We need more immigration control and more deportation, and fines for illegals who keep coming back after deportation.
Contact your goverment and tell them it's time to stop. American jobs first to citizens and LEGAL immigrants.
