Stop funding CASA - 2009-08-28 08:47:19
Instead of taking money away from legal taxpaying citizens, instead Maryland should stop funding CASA de Maryland. Why should our tax dollars be used to fund an organization that aids & assists illegal aliens in Maryland? What a shame to know that so many citizens are without jobs in these tough economic times, but illegals can simply walk into CASA de Maryland and be given an endless list of employers willing to hire them. What a shame knowing our tax dollars are being used to bail illegal aliens out of jail. What a shame to know that our tax dollars are being used to assist illegal aliens who are facing foreclosure. It is time to END ALL FUNDING of CASA de Maryland and start supporting and assisting the legal taxpaying citizens of this state instead!
