Rep. Tom Boone, R-Glendale
As House Appropriations chairman, I learned quickly that there is never enough money. As a conservative, I also strive to keep spending limited to critical programs helping our citizens.
In this environment of limited resources, you can imagine my shock to learn that illegal aliens receive at least $1.3 billion in services from the state every year.
Arizona suffers a huge burden paying for welfare, health care, education and other benefits to citizens of other countries. The home countries of these illegal aliens would never provide such services to illegals in their country or even to their own citizens.
