Thanks to LCDC Mike Sieverson for sending me this.
CHEAP TOMATOES? This should make everyone think, be
you Democrat, Republican or Independent The following
is from a Southern California, LA area school
teacher...
"As you listen to the news about the student protests
over illegal immigration, there are some things that
you should be aware of: I am in charge of the
English - as - a - second - language department at a
large southern California high school which is
designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students
average lower socioleconomic and income levels.
Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate
High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, etc., where these
students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools.
Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free
lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not
talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full
breakfast AND cereal bar with fruits and juices that
would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food
is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped
in the trash uneaten. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK) I
estimate that well over 50% of these student s are
obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or
more DO have cell phones. The school also provides
day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls
(some as young as 13) so they can attend class
without the inconvenience of having to arrange for
babysitters or having family watch their kids. (OUR
TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or
risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though
there was little need for anything; my budget was
already substantial.. I ended up buying new computers
for the computer learning center, half of which, one
month later, have been carved with graffiti by the
appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and
grateful to have a free education in America. (OUR
TAX DOLLARS AT WORK) I have had to intervene several
times for young and substitute teachers whose classes
consist of many illegal immigrant students here in
the country less then 3 months who caused so many
problems with the female teachers, calling them
"Putas" whores and throwing things that the teachers
were in tears.
Free medical, free education, free food, day care
etc., etc, etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to
not only be in this country but to demand rights,
privileges and entitlements? To those who want to
point out how much these illegal immigrants
'contribute' to our society because they LIKE their
gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for
tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal
immigration and see the TRUE costs. Higher
insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical
costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our
schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc, etc, etc.
For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.
We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a
disaster because we won't have the guts to enforce it.
Does anyone in their right mind really think they
will voluntarily leave and return? There are many
hardworking Hispanic/American citizens that contribute
to our country and many that I consider my true
friends. We should encourage and accept those
Hispanics who have done it the right and legal way.
It does, however, have everything to do with culture:
A third-world culture that does not value education,
that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping
out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate,
and an American culture that has become so weak and
worried about "politically correctness" that we don't
have the will to do anything about it."
