Undocumented immigrants will lose some civil benefits in budget
UW Badger Herald ^ | March 27, 2011 | J.P. Cheng

Posted on 03/27/2011 9:32:48 PM PDT by moonshinner_09

Items in Gov. Scott Walker’s new biennial budget would cut programs that provide aid and support to immigrants, a move that has drawn outrage among immigrant advocacy groups.

Walker’s 2011-2013 budget contains proposals that would end access to in-state tuition for undocumented immigrant college students and eliminate the FoodShare program for low-income legal immigrants.

The Milwaukee-based immigrant advocacy organization Voces de la Frontera reacted to the proposals with harsh criticism.

“With this budget, Walker is seeking to institutionalize discrimination against low-income immigrant families,” Executive Director Christine Neumann-Ortiz said.

In terms of eliminating the FoodShare program, which benefits legal immigrants who do not meet federal residency requirements, Walker said the growing cost of the program was unsustainable in the budget bill.

Rep. Donald Pridemore, R-Hartford, who will introduce a bill this week giving police the right to ask for proof of residency from criminal suspects, said he supported these budgetary measures on philosophical grounds.

“It’s not a question of how much money it’ll save us. It’s a question of principle. We shouldn’t be giving any taxpayer-funded benefits to people who have come to this country illegally,” Pridemore said.

Undocumented immigrants will lose some civil benefits in budget

Illegal aliens should lose ALL civil benefits. The only thing they should receive is a beating from the local good ol' boys and an unpleasent one way trip back to the border.

“legal immigrants who do not meet federal residency requirements” So how are they “legal” immigrants?

I would guess that people who are officially here as "tourists" are not eligible for welfare programs.

Most on the Left leave out the word ‘undocumented’. I have been accused of being anti-immigrant due to my position on illegals. My husband is a legal immigrant to this country. Even my own family members have tried that accusation with me. They simply aren't logical or have completely bought into the lies of the Left.

Struggling taxpayers are subsidizing these immigrant advocacy organizations like Voces de la Frontera.....probably through the racist La Raza which is sucking up millions of federal tax dollars.

We should take these pronouncements with a grain of salt. Obviously latinos hope to intimidate Americans. The latino PR machine is going at mach speed....thanks to our tax dollars funding their mouthpiece---La Raza. They are flexing their muscles to gain political power...........Third World satraps are egging then on b/c they hunger for US tax dollars to pour into their hellholes.

===============================

Remember 2010 Midterms, when Obama told latinos to "punish their enemies" by voting against Republicans. How'd that work out for suckup Dems (who got annihilated)? ROTFL

Vote-starved Obama and the rest of the endangered Dems continues to tolerate this ntl-security nightmare for fear of offending the Mexican government, the National Council of La Raza, and other immigrant advocates....all of whom are providing Democrat voters to endangered Dems. This outrage is burdening taxpayers and corroding our sacrosanct system of laws.

======================================

REFERENCE AZ Senator Reads Shocking Letter from Teacher whining that 'Americans Stole Our Land'(video)
http://www.gannettonline.com/external/scripts/momslikeme/?siteid=6297
Written by JACQUES BILLEAUD, PAUL DAVENPORT, Associated Press

EXCERPT The letter was read aloud in the Arizona Legislature during a debate on an immigration bill. The letter sent to Senate President Russell Pearce said a majority of the eighth-graders at a Glendale school had refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance and declared that Americans had stolen their land and that "most Hispanic students do not want to be educated but rather (want to) be gang members and gangsters."

'Mexicans' and 'Latinos' holding signs like this crack me up.

Because they ARE all part 'European'. Unless they are all indigenous 'Indians' whose family tree (DNA) is 100% pure, and was never mixed with those evil Spanish - aka: European - explorers.

So technically they're -- Protesting Against Themselves!

Stupido is as stupido does----they are making ONE big mistake thinking the US is a Third World satrap---like their homeland hellholes.

It's obvious they are too stupid to navigate the sophisticated political system of a republic.

No immigrant should ever receive public funds. We used to have SPONSORS who would ensure that.
__________________________________________________

No we used to have provisions in the requirements for wouldebe immigrants that assured that...

The applicants would swear that they would never apply for public assistance and would sign documents to the same ...

under the penalty of deportation...

The applicant had to prove they would bring at least $US1000 40 years ago...

or have a sponsor that would put that much up in advance..

that was to pay for the first 3 months until the new immigrant got their green card and could work

or a plane ticket back to their own country if they committed a felony and were deported...

or a misdemeanor that demanded deportation

It was also a deportation if the immigrant worked before they got their green card..

there was a time the US did not muck around...

Don't forget that today many legal immigrants waltz right onto SSI and sundry other entitlements. Other work at salaries so low that their employment is subsidized by the safety net, i.e. tax payers.

Neumann-Ortiz identified the proposal ... as particularly harmful toward the undocumented immigrant Illegal Alien community.

“One of our members, an undocumented student ILLEGAL ALIEN supporting her young family, is only able to study engineering at UW-Milwaukee because she has access to in-state tuition,” ... “If this item in the budget goes through, she would have to drop out of school. She would be forced to pay out-of-state tuition, which she can’t afford ...”

'Series' - Okay Neumann-Ortiz let's say your ILLEGAL ALIEN continues to get in-state tuition, graduates, and gets her BSME degree.

So now what 'Neumann'? First off she can't legally get a job at an Engineering Firm. And if she somehow did - like with phony papers (SS Card and DL). If she was working on any type of government funded project, or even a little addition to an Elementary School, she couldn't PASS A BACKGROUND CHECK you moron!

And an Engineer that cannot go to a jobsite for a meeting or to review a problem is .. USELESS!

So all that taxpayer funded education money for your ILLEGAL was for nothing. FBI Background Checks are the norm now for any type of gubmint contract, not only construction as was my scenario. So she may as well drop out and get a job as a maid in a Red Roof Inn. Because Ortiz - Illegal is still, ILLEGAL!

I like simpleminded drones who 'will follow orders'. As they're usually the ones in the front lines and give you time to sight in your rifle or zero your scope ;-)

*** and we cant start shootin em yet because they are nibbling the edges ...***

True, but 'yet' is the operative word. And 'yet' is coming sooner and sooner.

My parents sponsored my mother’s best friend when she came from England to visit and wanted to stay. She lived with us when I was young.
My parents had to agree that they would provide her room and board and any help she needed to bring her education credentials and certifications in line with American standards. They did so until she was able to obtain the necessary licensing for her occupation and get a job and apt of her own.

Landmines and Claymores at the Border would be great. I'd have laid them down in a heartbeat right after 9/11.

But I was thinking of the commie infiltrators, and illegal alien dupes, already here and ready to 'get it on'. What happened in London was a precursor of what's coming here - and soon.

A couple days ago I read there's something they're planning for April. (think: Madison Wis with Clubs, Molotov Cocktails, and Guns)

There is a HUGE difference between immigrants and "undocumented" immigrants (illegal aliens).

Only if you have a legalistic view of the world. I myself have a conservative view.
