Letter by a Florida teacher…………… A teacher speaks
 

 This is a subject close to my heart. Do you know that we have adult

 students at the school where I teach who are not US citizens and who

 get the PELL grant, which is a federal grant (no pay back 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

 PELL grant which paid for her total tuition and books, plus money left

over.

 

 She was looking into WAIT which gives students a CREDIT CARD for 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 and all

 sorts of needs while they go to school or training. The one student I

 just mentioned told me she was not going to be a US 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 US   is giving her and

 then not even bothering to become a citizen and she told me that it

 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 US Citizen, you don’t 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 they want to

 sing the National Anthem in Spanish - enough is enough.

 

 Nowhere did they sing it in Italian, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German

 or any other language because of immigration.   It was written by

 Francis Scott Key and should be sung word for word the way it was

 written. The news broadcasts even gave the translation — not even

 close.Sorry if this offends anyone but this is MY COUNTRY

 

 IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP — please pass this along.

 

 I am not against immigration — just 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!

Lee ADDS: Look at what our Elected Officials are fostering! Our tax money is being spent on making life easier for Illegal Aliens and New Immigrantas to live than LIFE LONG American CITIZENS! This is NOT RIGHT!
