Ok Governors and State Legislatures, please explain...

That is not right. If someone is in America illegally, they should not get special privileges. Is it because in some states, there are so many illegals that they can get what they want through making a loud noise and because they tell their relatives to come over so that the states with the highest illegals may be reclaimed by Mexico? I also think that in this time of recession, the government officials should cancel their expensive trips or take more economical flights, do what we do when saving money, go all on one day.

I doubt we'll get an explanation from them, Para. But I know exactly why. Profit incentives+greed+those in high positions= OHCRAP!. ...it's a very simple equation and it's been repeated through history, all over the world. Just today, we all have to ask ourselves how it happened because few of us were actually paying attention. FUN. Anyways, they only do what personally benefits them. There are a small handful of politicians who really care and we can see this by their voting patterns (when we see the incentives or lack of support by corporate interests in corrspondance to them). The rest? Idiots, jerks, and greedyguts. That's how simple this is. The problems that have arisen because of this, are not simple, of course...but this part definitely is.

The "big city" of Youngstown is pretty close to me. Those of us in "the burbs" have had years of fun at their expense while the city government wasted money on one project after another. They bought downtown property and tried to renovate it in a taxpayer funded "flip this house". They gave tax breaks and grants to companies that promised production of blimps, small aircraft, movies and other things only to disappear with the cash after a few years of hype. Funding a project to build luxury apartments downtown was especially fun. Apartments that look like something from Vegas, renting for thousands per month in a city where you can buy a 3 bedroom house with a nice basement for under $85,000. To this day over 96 percent of those apartments are empty and the rest are mostly occupied by people associated with building them. Recently the city started looking for ways to tax neighboring suburbs to fund their schemes. These wack jobs actually believe hard working people, who intentionally live outside the city so as not to get involved in the high crime low employment nightmare city government has created, are going to roll over and pay people they didn't elect to do things they think are insane. Do you really expect anything like an understandable response from government?

lol, what kind of special privileges are being financed for illegal aliens? Every illegal alien that I know stays as far away from the government as possible.
