If you are an American citizen please pass this on........
Pell Grant
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 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. Right?
COMING SOON!
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 legally 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, if you don't agree -- delete it!
Yep, I passed it
