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!


As long as you keep building your base with illegals, you'll stay in
power.
Just ask any liberal.


Why do you think they fight so hard against ID's to vote?


Because we don't want a national ID system and national ID card like
some of our opponents in World War II required.


Good fences make good neighbors.


Our lack of immigration controls lets other countries dump their
undesirables on us.


Your boy Bush did nothing to control immigration, and won't. His
corporate sponsors won't let him.- Hide quoted text -

harry, no pres, had done anything about immigration control all the
way back to FDR and before.

really now, isn't blaming Bush about immigration sort of a lame
arguement?
