This from a University professor:

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?????

Yes!  There is something very, very wrong here.

What's wrong is not simply a question of the appropriate amount of legal immigration.  It even goes beyond the economic drain on this nation caused by illegal immigration.

The problem is pretty well summed up in Barack Obama's new "Global Poverty" bill.  

This proposed legislation would commit the U.S. to spending 0.7 percent of gross national product on foreign aid, which amounts to a phenomenal 13-year total of $845 billion over and above what the U.S. already spends.  All in order to END poverty world-wide.

Our government has for years been in the business of redistributing wealth.  And NOT just within our nation's borders.

They can't very well RE-distribute your tax dollars, by giving money back to you, now can they?  They have to give the product of your labor to someone else.   

C'mon, mum, get with the program.
