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 socio-economic 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.
One hundred percent of the students in this school and other 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 AT 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 my bleeding-heart friends 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.

Somehow the violent criminal, Juan Sanchez, sneaked back into the U.S. and lived under the radar in the southern California community of Rancho Cucamonga about 50 miles from Los Angeles. He recently beat his girlfriend’s 8-month-old son to death after the infant’s nose was “mistakenly” wiped with the methamphetamine-laced cotton swab Sanchez used to clean his pipe.
Fearful that he would be sent to prison, Sanchez forbade his girlfriend from seeking medical care when the baby became sick from the drug exposure. For three days the barbaric convict tried to get the infant “off the high” by shaking him, slapping him and tying him to a bed. When the baby was finally hospitalized, he had a skull fracture, bleeding in the brain, detached retinas and a broken arm.
The mother and Sanchez have been charged with the infant’s horrific murder. A sad component to this depressing story is that Sanchez should not have even been in the U.S. because in 2001 he was convicted of robbery and deported. He crossed the border illegally and authorities had no idea of his whereabouts until he committed this heinous crime.
Just last month a previously deported Mexican man with a criminal record killed an entire family when he crashed his car into theirs on a Houston freeway. The illegal alien (Juan Felix Salinas) had been deported two years ago and was free on bond in a criminal case yet was allowed to remain in the country. He had a blood alcohol level three times the Texas legal limit when he murdered the family.

My bachelor’s degree is in journalism with a minor in engineering. I have been working for news organizations for the last 2 /12 years or so. I don’t really know anyone who would hire a proposal writer so networking opportunities are limited.
I never see entry level proposal writing jobs advertised. They always want lots of experience.
I support myself so I can’t do anything crazy like quit my job without another one to go to or work for free unless it was after hours (I am willing to give up my second job).
I’m especially interested in hearing from anyone who’s done proposal writing. How can I get a break without having a friend in the industry?
How did you get the government job?
