Should be of interest to those who have paid for their children's     education

                                      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 
    
leftover.     
                              
                            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 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 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     U.S. 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 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 news     
broadcasts 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 America to speak up.       
                                
                            If you agree -- pass this along!
