That doesn't surprise me one bit. In France and Belgium in particular, the lion's share of public spending goes to support parasites from Africa and the Middle East, thanks to their squalid conditions and innumerable offspring. So there isn't much in the public coffers left for legitimate government functions such as firefighting, protecting national monuments, or maintaining infrastructure.
It's a lot like the school systems in the US in areas with large illegal immigrant infestation. All of the school funds go to "bilingual" education programs for the illegals' children, at the expense of actual education for the children who actually have some business being in those schools.
Our little podunk rural school district has been hit hard with illegals. Property taxes have gone up 10% every year for the past 20 years. We haven’t had a pay raise (state employee and now retired state) in any of that time. How the heck can anyone afford that? We certainly can’t.
I monitor our little podunk rural county jail reports and we’re handing over 40+ illegals to ICE and US Marshals every week. Multiply that across the nation. Of course, that probably ends in releasing them.
Down at Laredo, TX, they’ve dumped off 2800 illegals at the bus station to disappear across the country since Feb. That’s just ONE bus station. Multiply that out across the nation, too.
Our kiddo’s randomly assigned college roommate was an illegal with a full ride scholarship....
Make that 138 illegals turned over just this week.
