WHY DO ILLEGALS HATE TO SPEAK ENGLISH? IT'S A DYNAMIC OF MEX RECISM!

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE CONTEMPT MEXICANS HAVE FOR AMERICANS even while the STATE EDUCATES THEM, PAYS THE BILL FOR THEIR BIRTHING, EMERGENCY ROOM HEALTH CARE, WELFARE, EDUCATION, CRIME WAVE, DRUG DEALS, and GRAFFITI ABATEMENT.

The Mexicans march on this country, waving their Mex flag, demanding any thing and everything, while not even concealing their contempt for Americans.

They hate this nation, that’s why they’re trying to turn it into a Mexican slum. How many communities have they been successful in doing this? Visit Santa Ana recently?

CONTEMPT FOR ENGLISH.

LATINOS REJECT GOVERNOR’S ENGLISH-IMMERSION ADVICE

John Wildermuth, Chronicle Political Writer Saturday, June 16, 2007 (06-16) 04:00 PDT Sacramento -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger knew he was setting himself up for plenty of criticism when he urged Latinos to "turn off the Spanish television set" in order to learn English faster, but it was a briar patch the Austrian immigrant was happy to leap into. Speaking to the National Association of Hispanic Journalists convention in San Jose Wednesday night, the governor, relaxed and seated in a chair on stage, answered questions for more than 40 minutes on Latino-oriented issues ranging from immigration to education. Late in that session, he was asked what could be done to help Latino students, many new to the country, pass the newly required high school exit exams.

FORTY PERCENT OF THE STUDENT BODY IN CALIFORNIA CAN NOT SPEAK ENGLISH.

He talked at first about providing more tutors and after-school help to improve their English-language skills, but then suggested that the ability of many California Latinos to lead their daily lives -- shopping, watching television, reading newspapers, speaking with friends -- almost entirely in Spanish was making it harder for them to learn English. "This is politically not the correct thing to say, but here I am, getting myself into trouble,'' Schwarzenegger said, anticipating the furor he was creating. "But I know that when I came to this country, I ... very rarely spoke German to anyone.'' The governor admitted that his experience as a young, single man moving into an area where German speakers were few and far between was very different from a Spanish-speaking family living in an established Latino community like East Los Angeles, because he was forced to speak English. But the governor quickly found himself under attack, both for his message and for its timing. When Schwarzenegger acknowledged that it was difficult for Spanish-speaking Latinos to find the time to perfect their English skills as quickly as possible, Pilar Marrero, a columnist for La Opinion, a Spanish-language newspaper in Los Angeles, said, "They're busy working; they don't have time to learn.''

BUSY WORKING STEALING CARS AND SPRAY PAINTING THE SIDES OF BUILDINGS. I’VE SEEN ILLEGALS HERE FOR DECADES THAT CAN’T SPEAK ENGLISH NOR CAN THEIR CHILDREN!

Schwarzenegger's statement was "both insensitive and irresponsible,'' said John Ramirez, a professor of media studies at Cal State Los Angeles. "This is a very scary and dangerous time because of the growing anti-immigration sentiment, which is all the more reason for the governor of California to be a little more sensitive.'' WHERE’S THE MENTION OF THE GROWING LA RAZA, THE RACIST MEXICAN PARTY’S SENTIMENT THAT THE AMERICAN SOUTH WEST ACTUALLY BELONGS TO NARCO-MEX?




Not surprisingly, the governor also took heat from the Spanish-language media, which didn't take kindly to his suggestion that their readers and listeners should just say no to their stories and programs. La Opinion, one of the nation's largest Spanish-language newspapers, suggested in an editorial that the governor was dealing in stereotypes when he suggested that California Latinos aren't interested in learning English as quickly as possible. "It is absurd to blame the Spanish-speaking media for low Latino academic performance,'' the newspaper said. The governor's office is receiving plenty of feedback, both pro and con, said Adam Mendelsohn, the governor's communications director. "It's been a very mixed reaction,'' he said. "But much of the negative reaction comes from people who didn't read the governor's remarks in context.'' Schwarzenegger's impassioned support for English immersion, which he admitted was "a drastic way" of learning the language, reflects the way he moved into his adopted country's mainstream, Mendelsohn said. Speaking to the Latino journalists, Schwarzenegger recalled his teachers at Santa Monica City College telling him to "read the L.A. Times, even though you don't understand it. ... Look at books that are English, look at comic books that are English, watch television, listen to radio that is English. And it really helped me.'' It was a very difficult path and a huge commitment of time and effort, but within two years, "I really got my act together so I could read the paper and I could understand the news and really get with it in school,'' Schwarzenegger said. That's not a path that's realistic for many Latinos with family responsibilities and ties to a local community, a community that's largely covered by the Spanish-language media, said John Trasvina, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund. "Nobody's saying, 'I don't need to learn English,' but while they're learning English, they should be able to keep in touch with their community,'' he said. A 21-year-old Austrian, virtually alone in a new country and wrapped up in the all-encompassing world of professional body-building, can spend hours in front of the television, living in a totally English-speaking world, Schwarzenegger's critics said. "That's not realistic for Latinos,'' said Ramirez, the Cal State Los Angeles professor. "They're still going to talk to Mom and the neighbors.'' Complaints about how best to teach newcomers English are nothing new for California. The battle between bilingual education, where non-English-speaking students are taught in both their native language and English, and immersion, where students who don't speak English are taught almost entirely in their new language, has raged for years, with groups like U.S. English, founded by former California Sen. S.I. Hayakawa, pushing hard for English immersion and an end to things like bilingual ballots and providing government services in languages other than English. In 1998, for example, California overwhelmingly passed Proposition 227, which banned most bilingual education in the state. Opponents say the immersion strategy it backed hasn't worked. "The governor was talking about kids in our schools who already are immersed in English all day,'' said Maria Quezada, executive director of the California Association for Bilingual Education. "There's a 40 percent dropout rate in the L.A. Unified School District, and their classes are in English.'' But this week was far from the first time Schwarzenegger has come out in favor of English immersion. In speeches, in newspaper op-ed pieces and in interviews he's talked about his experience as an immigrant and the absolute need to learn English in the fastest way possible. "The governor believes very strongly in immersion and believes very strongly in his experience with it and has no trouble talking about his experience as an immigrant,'' said Mendelsohn, the governor's spokesman. "He wasn't saying that Spanish-language media should be eliminated and he wasn't saying Spanish-language media plays no role in the community.'' Schwarzenegger also wasn't saying that by turning off the Spanish-language TV programs Latinos should turn away from their ethnic heritage, Mendelsohn added. When he stopped speaking German, Schwarzenegger said Wednesday, it wasn't "that I didn't like Austria, my heart was always in Austria, but I wanted to as quickly as possible learn the English language.''

By Robert Salladay Times Staff Writer July 26, 2006 LA MESA, Calif. — An outdoor campaign appearance by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger quickly turned into a bitter complaint session Tuesday, with conservative voters visibly angry at him over illegal immigration and the parole of murderers. The San Diego County event, at a community park, was carefully planned by Schwarzenegger campaign aides. But some of the invited, mostly Republican audience was livid at the governor while other members alternately booed and cheered during the tense exchanges. An El Cajon woman who said she had been a Republican since the mid-1960s scolded the governor for failing to secure the California-Mexico border and stopping illegal immigrants who come here and "get everything free." "I voted for you, and right now I don't see much difference between you and Phil Angelides," said Sally Plata, 66, referring to Schwarzenegger's Democratic opponent. "I don't see that you are standing up for the citizens of California." ASKING ARNO ABOUT THE MEX INVASION IS ASKING QUESTIONS WHICH WENT “INTO DANGEROUS AREAS”................................IT’S ALWAYS THE SAME. ELECTED PIMPS DENYING THE MEX INVASION AND THEN HANDING US THE 9 BILLION DOLLAR BILL. The tone of the unscripted exchanges startled the governor. After the event, Schwarzenegger told reporters that he found the questions, which went "into dangerous areas," troubling. "This was really the first time I had seen the intensity of prejudice," the governor said. "I had this woman come up to me [afterward] and say, 'Stop the invasion.' It was that kind of dialogue. It was 'invasion' or 'robbing our country' or they want to take it back." In his remarks, Schwarzenegger advocated a more tolerant position. "I think it's very, very important to never get mad at anyone who is trying to come to this country," he said. "  I know that people want to come from the south, people that are living in misery. They try to come. I did the same thing when I was in Austria. All I wanted was to come to California." ARNO: CALIFORNIANS OWE THE MEXICAN INVADERS A FREE RIDE. FORGET ABOUT THE CRIMES THEY CAUSE, GRAFFITI, HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM MELTDOWNS, EDUCATION SYSTEM MELTDOWN, JAILS OVER FLOWING.... WE OWE THEM THE CALIFORNIA DREAM........................................................................... In her questioning, Plata called President Bush a "bum" on immigration issues and asked whether the governor had actually sent 1,500 California National Guard troops to the border to assist federal efforts. She said she visited the border and didn't see them. "You are on a thin piece of wall," she said finally, "if you don't start changing your attitude and do something for the citizens of this state." AMEN! THAT GOES FOR BOXER, FEINSTEIN, HARMAN, ESHOO, WAXMAN............................. The governor, surrounded by about 150 people sitting in a circle on chairs and picnic tables, kept his cool through the barrage of criticism. But at one point, as Plata kept talking while he was speaking, he turned to her and snapped: "Please don't interrupt me when I talk; thank you very much. I let you talk also." He told her he had actually sent 1,000 troops to the border, and she threw up her hands with an expression of disgust. "We have to push them along and make sure they do their job," Schwarzenegger said of the Bush administration, later adding: "I will make sure you will have confidence in me so you will vote for me." FUCK HIM BACK TO AUSTRIAN! THAT’S HOW MUCH “CONFIDENCE” I HAVE IN THIS SELF-SERVING BACK ROOM DEALING CIRCUS FREAK! Angelides, speaking to reporters Tuesday outside a labor convention in downtown Los Angeles, ridiculed the governor for what he said were contradictory policies on immigration and his support of the Minuteman volunteer border-monitoring group. ANGELIDES IS A PUPPET OF LA RAZA. HE WANTS ALL THE ILLEGALS REGISTERED TO VOTE AND VOTE OFTEN! Angelides pointed to an interview with the Spanish-language newspaper La Opinion this week in which the governor said he thought Proposition 187 — the 1994 initiative to cut off most public services to illegal immigrants — was "the wrong decision." Schwarzenegger has previously said he voted for the initiative but also thought it unfairly targeted children. "What is his position?" Angelides asked. "He doesn't have a position." BULLSHIT! HIS POSITION IS LA RAZA’S! The La Mesa event didn't focus solely on immigration. Brad Boswell, an insurance executive and longtime Republican, told the governor he was alarmed at newspaper accounts saying Schwarzenegger had paroled nearly 100 murderers. The governor replied that his hands were often tied — that it is hard to keep people locked up beyond their release dates. PARTICULARLY WHEN THE PRISONS ARE FLOODED WITH MEXICAN ILLEGALS. Since taking office, he has allowed the parole of about 120 murderers and turned down the release of about 320 others, state officials said. Boswell also said he disliked the governor's proposed prison overhaul, which would relocate 4,500 female inmates to community detention centers. "Why do you want to put those people back in our community?" Boswell asked. "I am very, very concerned about your record on crime." He likened Schwarzenegger to former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, a Democrat who was lambasted during his 1988 presidential run for paroling killer Willie Horton. Afterward, Boswell said he would vote for another conservative candidate on the ballot. "I'm not supporting this guy," he said. Schwarzenegger responded to Boswell's question by saying he was tough on crime and supports a ballot initiative in November to strengthen penalties for child molesters. He said that the current prison system doesn't work and that innovative solutions are needed. A new Field Poll shows Schwarzenegger leading Angelides by 8 percentage points, with support from 85% of Republican voters. But the event Tuesday suggested deep misgivings among some of those voters. One woman asked why people come from Ireland legally but people from south of the border do not. "We want our country back," she said, quoting a conservative radio talk show host. “WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK!” WHO ISN’T SICK OF MEXICAN GANGS, CRIME AND THEIR WAVING THEIR MEX FLAGS IN OUR FACES AND SPRAY PAINTING WALLS ALL OVER WITH INVITATIONS FOR ANOTHER TWENTY MILLION ILLEGALS TO HOP THE BORDER FOR THE AMERICAN FREE RIDE....... Also Tuesday, Schwarzenegger said he would postpone a trip to Mexico scheduled for next month, saying he wanted to wait until the outcome of the presidential race there is officially settled. He said the delay had nothing to do with the immigration debate in California. Tuesday's appearance was the first stop on a two-day bus tour taking the governor from San Diego to the Inland Empire and Orange and Los Angeles counties. He traveled in a luxury bus emblazoned with his campaign slogan, "Protecting the California dream," THE ONLY THING WE NEED TO “PROTECT THE AMERICAN DREAM” FROM THE POLITICIANS WHORING FOR BIG BUSINESS AND THE US CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR OPEN BORDERS.......... I LIVED THE AMERICAN DREAM UNTIL TWENTY MILLION MEXICANS MOVED INTO CA AND LAID DOWN TIJUANA. He spoke briefly to customers at Sweet Lumpy's BBQ in Temecula and stopped at a quiet fruit market in Corona, where he signed two copies of the New Testament for a man in the crowd. He also bought grapes and strawberries for $30.79, using bills from a money clip. At the first stop, in La Mesa, some people offered personal, emotional moments. A 16-year-old from El Cajon told an extended story about being assaulted by a gang. A woman with crutches said she had been beaten by police. Schwarzenegger called her over to him and gave her a hug in the middle of the crowd. He promised to check into their stories. RIGHT!

EDITORIAL
California's dropout problem


A state senator offers a package of bills that could help keep in school some of the 150,000 kids who drop out each year.July 17, 2007CALIFORNIA'S CHILDREN are abandoning school at the rate of about 150,000 a year — a number equivalent to the population of Torrance, or Irvine, or all of Imperial County. Fewer than 70% of ninth-graders statewide will graduate from high school, and in some districts the percentage drops to less than half. Shockingly, this is not particularly a problem for schools, which are ranked primarily on their test scores. If marginal students leave, it only helps their averages.The result is a calamity in education that has almost no effect on schools, and that paradoxically has allowed schools to remain on the margins of a public debate about how to keep kids in the classroom. Fortunately, the Legislature is taking note.The stakes are high. In Los Angeles, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa forced an awareness of the dropout crisis in a district that has coolly accepted the slide of thousands of children into failure. We can squabble about the exact percentage of students leaving schools in L.A., but more than 35,000 students disappeared from the class of 2005 between the first day of ninth grade and the last day of 12th grade. Where do they go? Too often, dropouts fall into gangs and crime. Los Angeles is the gang capital of the nation. California has the largest prison population in the country, and more than 80% of the state's prison population did not graduate from high school.Reducing the dropout rate statewide will require a profound rethinking of how we encourage students to stay in school and how we hold schools accountable for keeping them there. State Sen. Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) has introduced a package of bills that starts that process, creating a sturdy framework for reform. The legislation, now in the Assembly, would hold schools accountable for their dropout rates and offer funding to help them engage students in the classroom, and it takes a thoughtful approach to curtailing the excessive hours some students work. Most notably, SB 219 would add dropout rates for eighth- and ninth-graders to the Academic Performance Index. By law, 60% of the API must be devoted to test scores, but the other 40% is in play. How much the dropout rate would count toward a school's API would be determined by the state schools superintendent and board of education, but including that information would give a more realistic measure of performance. A school with high test scores but also a high dropout rate, for example, would see its API dip. This bill would also assign API responsibility to the school and district of origin for students enrolled in alternative education programs — which is not currently the case. That would remove what Steinberg calls "a perverse incentive" for schools to stand by as the least able students walk out the door.Another bill in the package, SB 405, would help schools in the lowest third of the API increase the number and quality of college prep and career tech courses they offer. This sounds like common sense, but it is actually a visionary attempt to eradicate the 100-year-old bias in education that allowed career tech to become a second-tier option to college readiness.The voluntary grant program created by the bill would provide schools with $100 a student. Schools could, for example, add a "shadow" algebra class for struggling students (shadow classes reinforce lessons previously taught in regular class) or Advanced Placement chemistry for those who excel. They could meld career tech and college prep in an "auto physics" class, like the one taught at Duarte High School.How will this keep kids in school? A report released last year by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation found that almost half of dropouts say they left school because classes were not challenging and they did not see any real-world, or work-world, applicability to what they were learning. Steinberg's SB 405 would advance what should be the ultimate goal of education: fully preparing students to perform capably whether they enter college or the work world.Work brings us to another bill in the package, SB 406. One reason U.S. students often lag behind their international peers, research shows, is that they work outside the home more and study less. California permits 16- and 17-year-olds to work a Dickensian 48 hours a week. Steinberg's legislation would tie work to school performance. Students with lower than a C+ average and less than 90% attendance could work no more than 20 hours a week; students with a C average or lower and attendance that dips below 80% in the current semester couldn't work at all. The bill would, however, allow principals to consider extenuating circumstances, such as student and family economic necessity, and grant exemptions. More policy work remains to be done if the dropout rate is to reverse course, but these bills set the state on the right path. They deserve the support of the Legislature and governor. A TEACHER’S POSTING ON CRAIGSLIST:


Subject: Cheap Labor 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 A T 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 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, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes. 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? There are many hardworking Hispanic/American citizens that contribute to our country and many that I consider my true friends. We should encourage and accept those Hispanics 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 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and an American culture that has become so weak and worried about "politically correct" 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 abou t? 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 that 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 qua lify for SSI. Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at 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 taxpayer's also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up. Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people!



Wake up America!!! Illegal Immigration has to be stopped. Take a look at this website and see where all your tax dollars are going: 1. 1. http://immigrationcounters.com/ Politicians bitch and moan that there is no monies available for improvements in schools, hospitals, etc...... I have an idea. Cut off ALL ILLEGAL immigrants freebies; education, hospital, & food stamps. Give the money to who really deserve it, AMERICANS!!!
