Bad Policy Begets the Same

As the U.S. creeps ever closer to socialism, with 'free' services for everyone, we invite democratic backlash like this.

Tom Tancredo is considering sponsoring a state constitutional amendment which would bar undocumented immigrants from receiving state services. Such an amendment would force us voters to decide between two unappealing policies, either continue stealing from Peter to give to Paul Pablo, or single out a certain class of people for unfavorable treatment by the government.

Ick.

The only obvious choice is to cut off government services for all, right?

Well, cut off services equally. My main problem is how we fund services, not so much the services themselves.
