[As printed, the article is entitled "Mexico joins hands with LAUSD"]
Hoping to boost academic performance and lower dropout rates among Latino students, the Mexican government and Los Angeles Unified School District officials announced a joint outreach program Wednesday targeting Spanish-speaking families.
Much of the mostly volunteer program, which could ultimately include a credentialing of LAUSD teachers in Mexico, already exists, but officials hope to expand its reach over the next few years.
Ruben Beltran, Mexico's consul general in Los Angeles, said the partnership will highlight the importance of education among Latinos, who comprise 72 percent of the 750,000 students in the Los Angeles district.
"We want to lower the dropout rate in three or four years," he said. "We want to produce a better environment (for) the Mexican children here..."
The consulate also vowed to increase the number of Spanish-language books it donates to the district and develop more campus-based community plazas, made up of computer banks and homework stations sponsored by Mexican companies.
Currently, North Hollywood High is the district's only school with such a plaza...
The district also hopes to work with the consulate on building a pool of potential teachers in Mexico over the next few years when 140 schools will be built and the demand for credentialed, Spanish-speaking teachers is expected to surge.

Probably in the next decade the number will be closer to 100 percent. Same thing in Arizona and New Mexico.

I find it absolutely hilarious that Mexico can't even take care of her own people and yet they find time and money to do things like this in the U.S.
Maybe the Mexican government truly is just a parasite sucking the people and resources dry to enrich themselves.

Maybe someone wants the USA Canada and Mexico to be one big happy family... Maybe someone wants Mexicans to feel like one big happy family, regardless of whether they happen live in the USA, Canada or Mexico.
Not exactly the 'Great Melting Pot', is it.

So, how much money will the Mexican consul be contributing to the schools for these extra outreach programs?
A good question to ask them, otherwise I would tell them to kiss off.

Well, Mr. Beltran, if Mexico bothered to educate their own people we might not be having this problem. Oh, that's right!! NAFTA will cure all this!

Yes. But it was passed by the people, so it doesn't count. The ninth circuit will give us what they want us to have for law.:<)

Check this one out:
Link to story: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,114485,00.html FOXnews:
Most people know that Usama bin Laden's terror group, Al Qaeda (Arabic for the base), derives its name from the Mujahideen database that bin Laden developed through the 1980s and 1990s. Using the base, bin Laden could call on a corps of operatives to carry out missions.
There is growing evidence that the Mexican government, in similar fashion, is working with a group called the Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior (search) (Institute of Mexicans Abroad) to use its matricula consular database (search) to deploy illegals to state legislatures and city councils across America. There, the illegal aliens Mexican nationals who have been provided a matricula consular card pack the gallery and seek to apply pressure against legislators who sponsor or intend to vote for bills that enhance immigration law enforcement.

Considering the tens of billions Americans have spent to house, medicate, educate and incarcerate these invaders I think that's an understatement.

over the next few years when 140 schools will be built>>>>>>>>
"140 schools built in the next few years" ??? It would be much *cheaper* if the feds could *find* another 10 mil to rid LA county of their illegals. MAKE the LA cops help the feds with the 'round-up' or CUT all federal monies to LA.
"and the demand for credentialed, Spanish-speaking teachers is expected to surge.">>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yeah, Fox can't wait to start filling those, now UNLIMITED, NAFTA 'professional visas'........Soon, UNLIMITED, professionals will be crossing the borders, eager for more American jobs. (many with their own phony "mexican issued degree".)

Remember it was Clinton who sent his attack dogs to get
Fox in office. Something big going on with the Dems and Mexico. Bill Richardson wasn't put in New Mexico for no reason. My opinion he never got a vote. Gephardt and Daschle
make it a point of taking off to Mexico whenever they think
Bush and Fox are getting to buddy buddy. I think the Dems
are willing to do anything to get back the white house, even
if it means a war with Mexico.
The Dems don't want the borders closed off and Richardson
once said no way with the borders every be closed.
I think Richardson will be the key to bring down this country and putting us at war.
Bill Richardson needs to be exposed and put in jail for his
constant cover up of the Clinton corruption and the selling
out of this country. Covering up a crime make that party as
quilty as the party that committed the crime. Clinton was
pardoned but Richardson needs to be convicted.
My opinion of Richardson, he will hide and support every
illegal that comes into this country and that includes the
terrorist. The Dems didn't put Richardson in New Mexico for
no reason. My opinion of Richardson, he hates white America
and willing to bring down this country.

They've taken over Henderson,Nevada and parts of Las Vegas.
White children are writen up and sent home on a regular bases so the teachers can spend more time with illegal Mexican children. Childrne don't need previous school records nor do they need shots before entering school.
Principals are Mexican and they can get away with dening
white American children to right to an education

I find it absolutely hilarious that Mexico can't even take care of her own people and yet they find time and money to do things like this in the U.S. Mexico shows little to no interest in educating it's citizens that are in Mexico --- impressive how they would take such an interest after they left.
