A local NAACP president spoke out against how illegal immigrants are using up public resources that would have otherwise gone to people of color in the country legally on "The Laura Ingraham Show" on Monday.
Bob Ross, president of the Maryland Prince George’s County NAACP, was on the show to discuss his efforts to lobby against Prince George County’s efforts to create two high schools specifically for recent immigrants and dedicated to teaching students English. The local NAACP chapter is vocally against the proposal, with Ross calling it ”separate but equal.” (RELATED: NAACP Battles Latino Group Over Special Schools For Immigrant Students)
“67 million — almost 68 million when you round it — spent on illegal immigrants children’s education [in Maryland],” Ingraham noted. “What is your reaction to that?”
“It’s a lot of money, and our resources can’t handle it here in Prince George’s County,” Ross said. “We’re fixing to lose about $68 million statewide, on the local level we’re losing about $10 million of school funding. So, I don’t know how we’re going to handle this, the cost factor.”
“Why isn’t the national NAACP not kicking up a huge public fuss on this amnesty push by the president?” Ingraham asked.
“I can’t speak for the national,” Ross said. “Each local organization has its own charter. So on local issues– and this is a local issue–we’re fighting it based on our demographics…”
“You have to stand up for what’s right,” he continued. “After the Selma March and what we went through as a people, we have to continue the fight. Like I said before, we’re not going to the back of the bus again. We already been on that route.”
“Do you think they should be sent back home?” asked Ingraham. “Or should they just be educated in all these communities, despite the cost?”
“If they follow the process and go through the legality to remain in the country, they should remain,” Ross said. “But if the process says they have to return, then they have to return.”
“Our kids have dreams too,” he pointed out. “I want to be real clear about that. They keep saying: the DREAMers, DREAMers, DREAMers. We have dreams also. Every child that is native-born in this country has a dream. We should not have to sacrifice for newcomers that are coming in and not followed the process.”
#brownlivesmattermore!
And if you talk to the RINOs in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, they'll work cheaper too!
Attention NAACP....you’re yesterday’s news.With 30 million new voters waiting in the wings your opinions...needs...and votes are no longer important to the Rat Party.You’ll take he leftovers of the taxpayers’ largess and you’ll like it.

Wow. Sounds like what a conservative would say, and while I concur with him, it’s hard to feel sympathy for Blacks who just sat by and did not challenge the push for amnesty. Maybe it’s dawning on some Black leaders that the Dems are about to throw them overboard for the growing Hispanic ranks, but it’s too late for the deed is done.
My kids have dreams too, Jeb.
Silly NAACP. So what are you going to do, vote GOP? LOL. You’re usefulness is over.
I really am wondering when blacks are going to wake up to the fact they have been sold down the river (sorry for the racist statement), by their plantation masters.
The blacks are not going back to the back of the bus. Obama has thrown them under the bus.
Some of us have been saying this for years and now you want to complain because Obama and the Democrats are looking to push you out the car for their new pets.
Black lives matter. Black votes matter. Their dreams mean nothing.
Silly NAACP. So what are you going to do, vote GOP?
Yeah, that would be silly, because he’d get amnesty anyway!
Obama never experienced American or American black real life. He fooled you blacks into voting for him and now he has no further use for you. He’s selling out all of USA - including you. In this respect, and pretty much only in this way, he does not discriminate. Welcome to Getting Screwed Bigtime, otherwise known as Transforming Amerika. Sorry it’s happening to you ( and the rest of us). Maybe next time we can all vote a little more carefully, perhaps?
Eat your peas Goober.
Bout-time PING
I’ve found some great black conservatives on twitter.
it appears that the guy form the NAACP may feel....like hes been mugged...
theres always I hope I guess.
Yes they just don't have parents or a habitable home.
One of my black twitter friends confessed that she had voted for Obama the first time because she was caught up in the hype of a historic election.
It turned out to be historic enough for her to vote for Romney in 2012. LOL
I told her that I can forgive her for her 08 mistake.
