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!

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.

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

Nope. *INS raids and deportations were common in Chicago factories in
the 60's and 70's. *If a cop figured you were illegal, he held you for
the feds and they put you on a plane out of here.
Besides that, you waited in line to legally emigrate, had to have a
sponsor who had an address and some money in the bank.
I know, because I sponsored my wife's family, who came from Poland.
She came much earlier, being sponsored by an uncle who himself got
here through an arduous process after working for American forces in
Germany right after WWII.
It took us years to get the wife's family here. *
They were industrious and did quite well, never on the dole or street
corner selling drugs.
Don't know exactly when INS fell apart, but Reagan granted amnesty to
some millions of illegals, and it's been downhill from there.
The info is probably on the net, but I ain't going.

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


Nope. Unless he hasn't been Commander-In-Chief for the last seven
years and done virtually nothing but propose amnesty.
Lou Dobbs and some smart Republicans kicked his ass for that.
Clinton was just as bad, but that's no excuse for Bush.
How's the illegal situation down there, Tim?
Can you do gigs at any cantinas, if you wear a poncho?
If you get a chance, watch a movie called Delta Farce.
Some hilarious scenes.

--Vic


vic, don't get me wrong, I'm not sayig Bush shouldn't have done
something by now, but was like you said about Clinton. I'm not
singling bubba out either. That's what I was refering back to FDR and
further back.

It seems (to me) that no POTUS has really taken immigration reform to
heart.

Haven't seen Delta Force. I'll have to look for it.

No, Delta Farce. *Delta Force is a Chuck Norris movie.
Chuck is never funny unless he 's teamed with Huckabee and
Huckabee does the talking.
Not saying Delta Farce will be your favorite movie, but you'll get a
kick out it.
