AFT Pledges to Support Immigrants in Face of Trump Presidency

In the wake of Donald Trump winning the presidency after a campaign that often targeted and scapegoated immigrants, Latinos and Muslims, the AFT has pledged to take concrete action to assist these groups, with a particular emphasis on assisting and defending undocumented students. AFT President Randi Weingarten said AFT will "do everything in our power to stop any kind of action against our immigrant families, our Muslim families, our Latino families and especially our undocumented students."

Specifically, she said that the AFT will:

• Support cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and others as they reaffirm sanctuary status for immigrants and, in some cases, establish municipal ID programs to protect immigrants with no identification from being detained unnecessarily.

• Help members establish and maintain sanctuary status in schools, colleges and communities.

• Provide guidance and resources for teachers, staff and faculty to support and prepare undocumented students and their families for changes in immigration law—including basic "know your rights" advice on how to handle a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid and what to do if family members are detained.

• Provide lesson plans to address the social, emotional and mental health needs of all children and promote diversity and inclusion.

• Urge the government to reaffirm that children cannot be barred from enrolling in public schools based on their or their parents' immigration status.

• Participate in a national week of mobilization, education and action Jan. 9–14, spearheaded by United We Dream and other immigrant advocates, and in a day of action Jan. 19, organized with the Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools.

Guess who I’m supporting.

[JonPreston]

The ATF would be wise to study the lesson of PATCO and Ronald Reagan.

[JonPreston]

ATF = AFT (oops)

[Carl Vehse]

AFT President Randi Weingarten should be careful about what he excretes out of his mouth. Giving aid and comfort to the enemy, including the support of insurrection, is treason.

Advice for illegals in Spanish and English:

Asesoramiento a todos los ilegales para hacer rápidamente una de las dos cosas antes de ser deportado de regreso a su país de origen.

1. Deport a ti mismo lo antes posible. No espere para regresar a su país de origen para los mejores trabajos y la vivienda. Si espera hasta enero de 2017, habrá cero puestos de trabajo y no habrá vivienda en México / América del Sur.

2. Si usted no hace # 1, entonces haga # 2: Inmediatamente vaya a una de estas ciudades del santuario enumeradas abajo y solicite la vivienda, el bienestar, las tarjetas EBT gratuitas, los teléfonos de Obama y Obama Care:

La Raza, antes LA, San José, Gay Frisco, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, San Luis, Nueva Orleans, Miami, Atlanta, DC, Baltimore, Nueva York o Boston. No esperes o vivirás en las calles luchando contra las pandillas negras y BLM por territorio, comida y beneficios.

Batir la prisa, hacer # 1 o # 2 arriba

English form: Advice to all illegals to quickly do one of two things before you are deported back to your home country.

1. Deport yourself asap. Do not wait to return to your home country for the best jobs and housing. If you wait until Jan 2017, there will be zero jobs and no housing in Mexico/South America.

2. If you don’t do #1, then do #2: Immediately go to one of these sanctuary cities listed below and apply for housing, welfare, free EBT cards, Obama phones and Obama Care:

La Raza, formerly LA, San Jose, Gay Frisco, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, St Louis, New Orleans, Miami, Atlanta, DC, Baltimore, NYC or Boston. Don’t wait or you will be living on the streets fighting the black gangs and BLM for territory, food and benefits.

Beat the rush, do #1 or #2 above

The Youtube video belows shows what happened to Paris, a sanctuary city in France. In 2017, this horrible scene will be replicated in America’s sanctuary cities, when our illegals flock to our sanctuary cities, which will welcome them.

I need to buy some stock in Vaseline...there's gonna be a lot of butt hurt come January.

[Libertynotfree]

We can shut down AFT.

[Reily]

It wouldn’t do any good!
Beside, teachers are county/state employees FedGov has no jurisdiction over them. The most that could happen is restrict (or cut! Yay!) the Federal dollar flow.

[mountaineer1997]

AFT members can ask for a refund for that portion of union dues designated for political action. You have to request it in a very timely manner, and it will only be about $25.00 total per member.

Accessory to Fraud.

Put ‘em in jail.

[txrefugee]

Cut off every dime of federal money to every school that does this. We’ll see how long the teachers unions can stand that.

[onyx]

AMERICAN FEDERATION of TEACHERS.

(That Union should be dissolved)

[Leaning Right]

It’s worth noting that the AFT national leadership is NOT elected by the membership. That’s typical of most unions.

Here’s how it works. The members elect delegates to the national convention. At the vote the members are usually presented with a single slate of boss-approved delegates. The national offices aren’t even mentioned.

There might be a few “independent” delegates on the ballot as well. And by “a few”, I mean just that. A few.

The slate carries the day 99% of the time. The boss-approved delegates then elect the national leaders.

It’s sort of like the old Soviet system.

Looks like union teachers are gonna be busy;)

I advocate a full frontal Scott Walker style assault on all teacher's unions in all red states, simultaneously.
