Our immediate concern, is not just Iraq...
(My Quest for the Truth of Life, by Kerminator!)

It is time to start looking at what is happening in the United States as our freedoms and money is siphoned away... DUH!!

Some thing to think long and hard about... Came from an email based on the truth!!  A responsible citizen needs to think, in order to vote; not just follow the mass media Ads or follow a party... HUH!!    

          This should make everyone think, be that you are a 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.

          If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine,
          forward this to everyone you know.
          CHEAP LABOR?
          Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is
          about?

         Business doesn'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.

          BTW: Just another reason to vote for the Fair Tax; @ www.fairtax.org... Check it out!

          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 most likely 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 taxpayer's 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.
