Subject: more lies from the crazy right??
A 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
a PELL grant which paid for her total tuition
and books, plus money leftover.
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! It is Time for
America to Speak up
Looks like 100% pure crappola to me.
Any time you get an anonymous, forwarded e-mail
it's because the sender doesn't want to get caught
lying.
Anyone out there know the specifics? Send
