I heard on the radio today, that part of the reason NJ is going broke, is due to all the illegals and refugess in that state. They said, illegals do not pay taxes and yet, their kids go to our schools, collect welfare, and it's killing us. Well, thank Obama for this.....

Nah, it's the boomers. Can't afford to pay the pensions.

That state is full of corruption at all levels of politics from both sides, if they are going broke, it is because of that.

I don't think it's just the Boomers but otherwise, agreed. The benefits given to illegals, which they shouldn't be receiving, is relatively small compared to the pensions.

[a lot like California]

One town is building a new school due to all the illegals but not getting any additional tax revenue.

Illegals and refugees should be moved to cities with most registered Democrats.

It's not rocket science... both the illegals and the pensions.

Both of you guys nailed it.

Another reason is people fleeing the state due to some of the highest property taxes in the nation.

Illegals have no impact on NJ's finances. It's ridiculous to think so. This has been decades in the making.

Unfortunately you completely are wrong.
