    From an American 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 socio-economic 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.

    One hundred percent of the students in this school and other 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 students 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 raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas"(fatladys) 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 my bleeding-heart friends 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 medicalcosts, 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 correct" that we don't have the will to do anything about it.

    If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know. [:(!] [:(!]

    "A reason for the American people to revolt against the current congress and president who are defying the will of the American citizen"....You defy it Happy Guy -- since you made the suggestion.


    From the posted article:

    "students here in the country less then 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas"(fatladys) and throwing things that the teachers were in tears".

    Putas does not mean fatladys.

    I see and hear about this stuff all the time. My wife is a lunch lady at the local high school. We live in the most affluent counties in the entire state. In this school district, there are no housing projects, no apartments, no trailers, no "townhomes" and few, if any, cheap - houses- yet over 75% of the kids get free lunch. What I also hate is that "poor" people are moving into this area into section 8 houses; meaning that the government pays their mortgage for them. As long as they stay in the house for 5 years, they can sell and never have to repay a dime. All the while, they're living in more expensive houses that I can afford, driving hummers and escalades, and getting free lunch for their illegitimate kids. Hell, if the gov't would make my mortgage note, I could probably afford a hummer, too!

    One more- In a house next door to my mother there is a family from Romania. The live in the largest house in the subdivision. We're not exactly sure how many live in the house; it's hard to know because there are so many constantly in and out of there. Anyway, there are at least 8 or 10 that live there. They have about 6 expensive cars in the driveway at all times. The head of the family drives a late model mercedes and their 3 kids ALL get free lunch. They go to my wife's school. It's no wonder that we have an immigration problem. Come to america, you'll get everything for free!
