Subject: FLORIDA TEACHER SPEAKS OUT



Letter by a Florida teacher................ A teacher speaks

This is a subject close to my heart. Do you know that we have adult
students at the school where I teach who are not US citizens and who
get the PELL grant, which is a federal grant (no pay back required)
plus other federal grants to go to school?

One student from the Dominican Republic told me that she didn't want
me to find a job for her after she finished my program, because she
was getting housing from our housing department and she was
getting PELL grant which paid for her total tuition and books, plus
money left
over.

She was looking into WAIT which gives students a CREDIT CARD for gas
to come to school, and into CARIBE which is a special program
(check it out - I did) for immigrants and it pays for child care and
all
sorts of needs while they go to school or training. The one student I
just mentioned told me she was not going to be a US Citizen because
she plans to return to the Dominican Republic someday and that
she 'loves HER country.'

I asked her if she felt guilty taking what the US is giving her
and then not even bothering to become a citizen and she told me that
it
doesn't bother her, because that is what the money is there for!

I asked the CARIBE administration about their program and if you ARE
a US Citizen, you don't qualify for their program. And all the while,
I am working a full day, my son-in-law works more than 60 hours a
week, and everyone in my family works and pays for our education.

Something is wrong here. I am sorry but after hearing they want
to sing the National Anthem in Spanish - enough is enough.

Nowhere did they sing it in Italian, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German
or any other language because of immigration. It was written by
Francis Scott Key and should be sung word for word the way it was
written. The news broadcasts even gave the translation -- not even
close.Sorry if this offends anyone but this is MY COUNTRY
IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP -- please pass this along.

I am not against immigration -- just come through like everyone else.
Get a sponsor; have a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your
taxes, live by the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other
immigrants have in the past -- and GOD BLESS AMERICA!

PART OF THE PROBLEM

Think about this: If you don't want to forward this for fear of
offending someone -- YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!










You forgot to mention flag burning, lesbians, and of course the "right
to life" that ends when you are born.
