LETTER BY A FLORIDA TEACHER - A MUST READ

The Donald has his > work cut out for him!!!
Do you know that we have adult students at the school where
I teach who are NOT U.S. citizens and who get the PELL Grant,which is a federal grant (no payback required) plus other federal grants to go
to school?
One student from the Dominican Republic told me that she
didn't want me to find a job for her after she finished
my program, because she was getting housing from our
housing department and she was getting a PELL Grant which
paid for her total tuition and books, plus money left over.
She was looking into WAIT which gives students a CREDIT CARDfor gas to come to school, and into CARIBE which is a special program
(check it out - I did) for immigrants and it pays for child care andall sorts of needs while they go to school or training. The one studentI just mentioned told me she was not going to be a U.S. Citizen because she plans
to return to the Dominican Republic someday and that she 'loves HER country.'
I asked her if she felt guilty taking what the U.S. is giving her and
then not even bothering to become a citizen and she told me thatit doesn't bother her, because that is what the money is there for!
I asked the CARIBE administration about their program and if you
ARE a U.S. citizen, you DO NOT qualify for
their program. And all the while, I am
working a full day, my son-in-law works more than 60
hours a week, and everyone in my family
works and pays for our education.
Something is wrong here. I am sorry, but after hearing that
they want to sing the National Anthem in Spanish
- enough is enough. That's a real slap in the face. It
was written by Francis Scott Key and should be sung
word for word the way it was written. The newsbroadcasts even gave the translation -- not even close.
I don't care whether this offends someone or not but this is
MY COUNTRY. IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP --
please pass this along. I am not against
immigration -- I just expect immigrants to come through like
everyone else. Get a sponsor; have
a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live
by the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants
have in the past -- and GOD BLESS AMERICA!
PART OF THE PROBLEM - Think about this:
If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone-YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!
It is Time for REAL AMERICAN’S to speak up. If you agree – pass this along!
