ACTION

Subject: Wake up America!

Friends, as you listen to the news today about the student protests over illegal immigration there are some things that you really need to make yourselves aware of.

I am probably jeopardizing my wife's job by even writing this, but it has come to the point now that it must be revealed to a drowsy, uninformed people.

The Santa Ana Unified School District is now controlled by a militant faction of Hispanic Activists. Some are American citizens, most are not.

My wife, Shelli, is in charge of English as a second language department at Santa Ana Valley High School, which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students are from lower socio-economic and income levels.

Most of the schools you hear about - South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, etc. - where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools.

Shelli tells me that 100% of the students in her school and other Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast/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 according to her is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. Shelli estimates that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more she guesses have mobile or "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.

Shelli was ordered to spend $700,000 on her department, or risk losing funding for the upcoming year, even though there was little need for anything as her budget was already substantial. She ended up buying new brand new computers for their 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.

She has 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 "Pinche Putas" and throwing things that the teachers were in tears. The day of the humble immigrant is gone.

Free medical, free education, free food, free day care, etc.. etc.. etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand the rights, privileges, and entitlements to which they are NOT entitled over American citizens?

To my friends who 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 premiums, good medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more violent types of crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, horrible new diseases, etc., etc., etc.

As for me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.

We need to wake up. We need to wake our friends, familes and neighbors up. The guest worker program will be a disaster, because we won't have the guts to enforce it. Crime will escalate. All amnesty will do is open the door for more to get in and stay here....illegally.

Does anyone in their right mind really think they will leave and return voluntarily? Why do they think that? Who told them that?

There are many deserving, decent, hard-working Hispanic/American citizens who attained and earned their status as Americans the honest way. They contribute to our country, pay their taxes and many of them I consider my true friends.

We should encourage and accept those Americans of Hispanic descent, 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 age 15, and that refuses to assimilate - and an American culture that has become so weak and afraid - politically correct - that we don't have the will to do anything about it. Laws against illegal immigration & employers that hire them have been in existence for many years.

PLEASE. Write a letter, telephone, send a fax or even e-mail your congressman and your senators TODAY. Encourage them to support the enforcement bills pending in congress - they will work and they will be effective. We must secure and protect our borders, but only if you enjoy the America you have come to love and respect.

The ball's in your court, America. Serve or pass. It's up to you!

If you agree, pass it on. Pray that everyone who receives this cares enough to do the right thing.

I pass this on because I feel that we need to remind ourselves what is going on in AMERICA today and in the past. Wake up AMERICA or when you finally do wake up it won't be AMERICA anymore...
