FROM MY EMAIL BAG:
This
English teacher has phrased it the best I've seen
Yet.
CHEAP
This should make everyone think,
Be you Democrat, Republican or Independent
From a
California school teacher - - -
"As you
Listen to the news about the student protests over illegal
Immigration, there are some things that you should
Be aware of:
I am in charge of the
English-as-a-second-language department at a large
Southern California high school which is designated a
Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower
Socioeconomic
And income levels
Most of
The schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell
Gardens , Huntington Park , etc.., where these students
Are protesting, are also Title 1
Schools.
Title 1 schools are on
The free breakfast and free lunch
Program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not
Talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full breakfast
And cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a
Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with
Trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash
Uneaten.
(OUR
TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I
Estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or
At least moderately overweight. About 75% or
More DO have cell
Phones. The
School also provides day
Care centers for
Theunwed
Teenage pregnant girls (some
As young as 13) so they can attend class without the
Inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or
Having family watch their
Kids.
(OUR
TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I
Was ordered to spend $700,000 on my
Department or risk losing
Funding for
The upcoming year even though there was little
Need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I
Ended up buying new computers for the computer learning
Center, half of which, one month later, have been carved
With graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously
Feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in
America ..
(OUR
TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I
Have had to intervene several times for young and
Substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal
Immigrant students here in the country less than 3 months
Who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling
Them "Putas" (whores ) and
Throwing things, that
The teachers were in tears.
Free medical,
etc, etc.
Is it any wonder they feel entitled not only to be in
This country but to demand rights, privileges and
Entitlements?
To those who want to point out how
Much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society
Because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they
Like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real
World of illegal immigration and see the TRUE
Costs.
Higher insurance, medical facilities
Closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower Of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases
Etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for
Tomatoes.
Americans, We
Need to wake up. The
Guest worker program will be
a disaster
Because we won't have the guts
To enforce
it.
Does anyone in their right mind really think they will
Voluntarily leave and return?
It does,
However, have everything to do with culture: A third-world
Culture that does not value education, that accepts
Children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15
And that refuses to assimilate, and
An American
Culture that
Has become so weak and
Worried about "political
Correctness " that
We don't have the will to do anything about it.
If
This makes your blood
Boil,
As it did mine, forward this to everyone you know
Including your Congressmen and
Senators.
CHEAP LABOR? Isn't that what the
Whole immigration issue is about?
Business doesn't
Want to pay a decent wage.
Consumers don't
want expensive produce.
Government will tell
you Americans don't want the jobs.
But the bottom
line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is
a myth ,
a farce,
and a lie. There is no such thing as
"cheap labor."
Take,
for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five
children. He takes a job for
$5.00 or 6.00/hour. At
that wage, with six
dependents, he
pays no
income
tax, yet at the end of the year, if
he files
an Income Tax Return,
he
gets an "earned
income credit" of up to $3,200
free.
He
qualifies for Section
8 housing and subsidized
rent.
He
qualifies for food
stamps..
He
qualifies for free
(no deductible),
no co-pay)
health care.
His children
get free breakfasts and lunches at
school.
He requires
bilingual teachers and
books.
He qualifies
for relief from high energy
bills...
If they
are or become, aged, blind
or disabled ,
they qualify
for SSI.
Once
qualified for SSI they can qualify
for Medicare .
All of this is at
(our)
taxpayer's expense .
He
doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or
homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers
provide Spanish language
signs, bulletins and printed material.
He
and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to
$30.00/hour in benefits.
Working
Americans
are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left
after paying their bills AND his.
The
American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti
and trash clean-up.
Cheap labor? YEAH
RIGHT! Wake
up people!
THESE
ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING TO THE
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR EITHER PARTY. 'AND WHEN THEY
LIE TO US AND DON'T DO AS THEY SAY, WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM
AT ONCE
Never
argue with an idiot --
They'll
bring you down to their level and beat you with their
experience! | | |  |
