Illegal Protest

It is just plain wrong for American taxpayers to foot the bill to educate the children of illegal aliens, whether they be illegal aliens themselves or they were born here and wrongfully given citizenship.

Turning them into citizens is NOT THE ANSWER. Giving away citizenship like they are raffle tickets CHEAPENS the value of becoming an American citizen and spits in the face of those LEGAL immigrants who are going about the process legally.

These people at the NEA are supposed to be smart people who are teaching our children but it appears they don’t have the common sense of DIRT. Did any of them notice that the 1986 amnesty only increased the problem of illegal immigration? Do any of them understand history and how not knowing it we are destined to repeat it? It’s a case of BEEN THERE DONE THAT. Giving “amnesty” to illegal aliens by “adjusting their status” after they have come here KNOWING THEY WERE BREAKING THE LAW BY DOING SO only rewards their illegal behavior and the illegal behavior of millions of future illegal aliens.

Their “vision” of educating illegal aliens and promoting their education smacks of terribly clouded judgement. Who the heck is going to pay for all this huh? Do they realize that the illegal alien families are a BURDEN on communities where they settle? Do they realize that they do not contribute to the TAX BASE that funds the community schools? Turning them into citizens is not going to help solve that either because these illegal alien families are dirt poor, uneducated adults with barely a 4th grade education and they will never rise above the minimum wage. Yes a few may do so but they will be few and far between. The majority of illegal aliens coming here as they do across the border, will always be landscape workers or hotel maids or dishwashers. Is that the caliber of people we need more of?? NOOOO! Talk about self-limiting stupidity!

Here is what I suggest. If these teachers care so much about educating these people from other countries - why don’t the go to those countries and teach?! We cannot afford to bring all the poor people of the world here to make their lives better. I do not feel guilty that I have a better life than a lot of people in the world. Apparently these teachers are buying into the “equalization of wealth” socialist plan and it is very scary that they are teaching OUR CHILDREN!!! Yay for home schooling! My grandmother, who was a schoolteacher, would be outraged at what is happening with teachers and schools in this country.

Washington (CNSNews.com) - Some of the almost 10,000 members of the National Education Association (NEA) attending the teachers union’s annual conference this week in the nation’s capital spoke out on the issues they hope their lobbyists will fight for during next year’s legislative session, including the establishment of a peace academy, in-state college tuition and a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who graduate from high school.

Susie Jablinske, a first grade teacher at Central Elementary School in Edgewater, Md., said children who are in the country illegally should have the same educational rights as American children.

Oh really? So I guess Susie, you think it is pointless to control immigration or have immigration laws then huh? And I have news for you Susie, we already DO give illegal alien children the same rights to education as American children and THAT my friend, has to STOP. Free education and jobs that pay more than they do in their country ARE THE MAGNET for illegal aliens to come here and it HAS TO STOP if we are to stop and start reducing illegal immigration.

She proposed that the NEA add the following words to its resolution to develop programs to help minority students become college graduates, regardless of immigration status: “Access to higher education and in-state tuition, regardless of immigration status, as well as paths to legalization to undocumented high school graduates,” Jablinske proposed.

She said as many as 65,000 graduates from U.S. public high schools are “undocumented,” even if they don’t know it.

Do the math. It is estimated that each student costs the US around $10,000.00 a YEAR. So with 65,000 students who do not belong here, taxpayers have spent around $650 MILLION a YEAR on educating children who are from other countries and are not supposed to be here. That takes away from spending that money on OUR OWN CHILDREN.

“Many of them actually didn’t even know they were undocumented until they started applying for a driver’s license or financial aid for college,” she said.

Outgoing NEA President Reg Weaver, in an interview with The Hill newspaper in February, said that the NEA - with a membership of 3.2 million - plans to spend $40-$50 million to help get candidates who will help advance its agenda in the 2008 election, including the union’s endorsement and support for Democratic candidate Barack Obama.

So there you have it. The NEA supports Barack Obama which means if he becomes our President you better get ready to give up even more of your hard earned dollars educating, feeding and employing illegal aliens so they can have their American Dream. How nice. I wonder how much brainwashing of students will be going on to get them to accept the socialist policies of Barack Obama?

“We plan to be very aggressive,” Weaver said in the interview, citing at least 25 House and nine Senate races around the country the NEA supports.
