FW: Illegal Immigration & Cheap Tomatoes

Cheap Tomatoes

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.

This English teacher has phrased it the best I've seen yet.

Tomatoes and Cheap Labor

CHEAP TOMATOES?
This should make everyone think, be you 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 be cause 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 ed ucation in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.


Americans, 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?


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 "political correctness" 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 t hat 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.

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 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 taxpayers 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

AMEN!!!

Clearly, this person needs to be fired if they weren't capable of managing the ESL department. My god, they didn't even have computers before they were "forced" to buy them? Someone may want to check the graft level there too.

As a sub-point, clearly this person would support a drastic supprot in the minimum wage and an employer mandate health care system so that legal employees of Wal-mart can make the same as "illegal" tomato farm workers.

Oh, that's great: the head of an ESL department who apparently hates poor people.

You know what she should have spent that $700,000 on? Security guards, extra teachers, teachers' aides... something like that. Obviously she's not very good at managing the department or the kids' behavior, and could probably use the extra help.

Also, teenagers everywhere will vandalize school property and call teachers names, regardless of their immigration status. A major factor in eliminating that kind of behavior is competent management of the school.

If you are so sympathetic to these illegals' needs, I suggest you adopt a family or 2 and provide for them in your own home: give them one of your guest rooms, feed them, pay for their medical care, send them to private schools, give them a car, pay for their insurance, and give everybody spending money so they will feel welcome and know the "true" America

@ Anon

I'm not sympathetic to their needs so much as I'm sympathetic to the cause of truth.

This email, just like most right wing forwards, is 100% bullshit. Illegal immigration is a problem that will never be solved, precisely because the people who benefit from it (big business) don't want it solved!

So go ahead, keep getting angry and lashing out with bullshit and impossible solutions, and voting for Republicans who promise to fix this problem but never have and never will.
