I shall wear them with pride...and sadness.
***More business welfare.***
It's been my impression for years that the schools have used the "English/Spanish classes as a way to soak the taxpayers out of more money. This may not be true everywhere, but a woman who called a local radion show some years ago said this:
She lives in the southwest. Her father and mother came here legally, learned the language, and worked hard to start a business. She and her husband spoke NOTHING BUT ENGLISH in their home. Yet, the school wanted to force her six-year old daughter into classes for Spanish students because her mother was the child of an immigrant. The child did not know Spanish. The mother said that they were doing it only to fill up classes and get more money from the government.
***Get Cardinal Mahoney behind it***
WOO HOO! The soft-hearted but misguidedd Cardinal would probably do it, and cheaper than the government.
Not a bad idea, if I say so myself ;)
Me too. "You bleeding hearts support me from womb to tomb while I remain loyal to a country that abandoned me." The ironic thing is that these parasites, in their delusion, hold out a glimmer of hope that Mexico will reform and become a desirable place to live. Welp, as of a few days ago, the leading Mexican presidential candidate is PRD. Can you say "commie"? Note also the idolatry as far as Cesar Chavez is concerned- many illegals marched "in honor of him." Apparently, the marchers never heard of the "Wet Line". Chavez and his brethren were as anti-illegal as anti-illegal can get. When they weren't calling INS to deport illegals, they were kicking their butts.
As far as I know, the only money the immigrants will need is to cover babysitting services, books, CDs. Most beginning English classes are free.
Unfortunately, the House bill will turn me into felon for "aiding" illegal aliens, since I don't check the ID papers of my students
You're kidding , right?
....and I would like to learn German...and Italian...maybe polish my Spanish...
***You're kidding , right?***
NOPE!
We shouldn't have to pay for anything for these people! Why is it our responsibility? We should have rules.....period. If the immigrant, legal or illegal, doesn't wanta follow them on their own dime then citizenship doesn't mean much to them and they can go back where they came from....imo. Afterall, we are not begging for immigrants, heck everyone in the world wants to come here. Why can't we be picky about them, it is a priveledge, not a right.
Okay, you're right- Mahoney would be a (slightly) less malicious pickpocket than the feds. Pyrrhic victory......
DEMAND EMPLOYERS SANCTIONS NOW
AT THE SAME TIME BUILD A WALL
FIX MEXICO
DRAFT A REASONABLE IMMIGRATION POLICY
Typical politician. A CD-ROM language course would cost a lot less than $500. They could supply their own dang 'puters. And they could do it in their home country after Lamar and his pandering butt-buddies get real and give us a bill that secures the borders and sends the illegal aliens packing. Get tough on the employers and the illegals will self-deport. No roundup necessary.
A bumper sticker I saw today that I totally agree with:
"ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION".
