wonder why our economy is in such bad shape!

Post by $parechange »

LETTER BY A
FLORIDA TEACHER

A TEACHER
SPEAKS OUT
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
U.S. Citizens and who get the PELL
Grant, which is a federal grant (no
Payback 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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 that they want to sing the
National Anthem in
Spanish - enough is enough. That's a real slap in the
Face. 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.

I don't
Care whether this offends someone or not but this is
MY COUNTRY. IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP -- please
Pass this along. I am not against immigration -- I
Just expect immigrants to 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. If you agree -- pass this along,
If you don't agree -- delete
It!
