MONDAY MADNESS-#3 : A WAKE UP WARNING










“Just Hitting Another

Brick Wall”




















NOTE:


Please take the poll which you will find at the end of this posting. Thank you.


I received the following in an email early Sunday morning. Please read the entire piece because it is true and it is a message that should be gotten out to every single American.

A WAKE UP CALL:

Tomatoes and Cheap Labor---A Different Look

Cheap Tomatoes:


This should make everyone think, be you Democrat, Republican or Independent. From a California school teacher - - - "As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:

I am in charge of the English (as-a-second language) department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels. Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, etc., where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools. Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)!!

I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK) !!

I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which (one month later) have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)!!

I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less then 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas" (whores) and throwing things, that the teachers were in tears. Free medical, free education, free food, day care etc., etc., etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?

To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: Spend some time in the real world of illegal Immigration and see the TRUE costs.

Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.

We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won't have the guts to enforce it. Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return?

There are many hardworking Hispanic/American citizens that contribute to our country and many that I consider my true friends. We should encourage and accept those Hispanics who have done it the right and legal way. It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and an American culture that has become so weak and worried about "politically correct" that we don't have the will to do anything about it.



CHEAP LABOR?

Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about? Businesses don't want to pay a decent wage. Consumers don't want expensive produce. Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs. But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as "cheap labor." Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or $6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free.

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.
He qualifies for food stamps.
He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.
His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.

He requires bilingual teachers and books.
He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.

If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI. Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense.

He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance. Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material. He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits. Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills and his.

The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.

Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people. THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR EITHER PARTY; AND WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON'T DO AS THEY SAY, WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT ONCE! THIS HAS GOT TO BE PASSED ALONG TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE OR WE WILL ALL GO DOWN THE DRAIN BECAUSE A FEW DON'T CARE.

If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know.

The following are my thoughts:

This is what I have been trying to get across to people for a long time now.

I am so sick and tired of listening to the line of crap that these people are wonderful, law abiding, hard working folks that are contributing so much to our economy and that they are just doing jobs that Americans won’t do. That is such a line of B.S.

How the hell can they be law abiding when they broke the law by coming here illegally? How can they possibly be contributing so much to our economy when they are depressing wages, costing Americans jobs and not paying taxes, yet sucking up all of the gravy?

These people and their spawn do not deserve, merit nor are they entitled to all of the freebies they are getting. The only thing they are entitled to is to be arrested and deported.

I am all for LEGAL immigration. I don't care what country people come from as long as they come LEGALLY.

The way President G.W. Bush has turned his back on the majority of Americans who are against amnesty, and the way he seems to care more about the citizens of Mexico then he dose about the citizens of the United States, it is looking more and more like the only thing that will stop this madness, is a revolution because even if we vote out those that insist on doing what they want, the new ones that we replace them with, do the same thing. Our very own elected officials are hell bent on selling us out.

We don’t need our politicians telling us to shut up and calling us bigots because we want secure borders. We don’t need our president telling our senators and representatives that they don’t have courage to do what is right for the country because they wish to listen to those who elected them when it comes to immigration reform.

We did not elect our representatives, senators and president to insult us. We did not elect them to tell us that what we want isn’t as important as what the special interest groups want. This is OUR government, this is OUR country. We pay your salary and you better damn well start acting accordingly, because if you don’t, we will show you what a “WELL ARMED MILITIA” is capable of and it is our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to do so.

We either remain silent and go along with the sell out of our freedoms, rights and national sovereignty, like sheep to the slaughter, or we take up arms and take our country BACK by force, if need be.
