It is time to tell our politicians (Democrat or Republican or Independent) enough is enough. The United States is NOT a dumping ground for corrupt countries that don't care about their own people!

This email is from a retired former teacher friend, whose wife is a teacher in the Riverside area, and has been for many, many years. The attached is first hand knowledge...

As you all listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration there are some things that you should be aware of.

As most of you know my wife is in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at large southern California high school, which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socio-economic 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.

My wife tells me that 100% of the students in her school and other Title 1
schools are on the free breakfast, 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.

She estimates 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 baby-sitters or having family watch
their kids.

She was ordered to spend $700,000 on her department or risk losing funding
for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; her
budget was already substantial. She ended up buying new computers for
their 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.

She has 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 "putasb whoresb " 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 my bleeding-heart liberal friends 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 leave and return
voluntarily?

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 politically correct that we don't have the will to do anything about it.

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