In my grand ole state of Virginia, we just announced the winners of over $550,000 in college money, taxpayer funded of course. Anyway, a young girl won a $36,000 dollar scholarship. Her parents just moved here last year from China and they are "struggling" to get by.
I hate to say this, but this really ticks me off. I mean, we're giving our $ away to folks who just recently came here, while our own kids get nothing.
Here is the website of winners for each grade. http://www.virginia529.com/news_home_posters2.html
If you go there, you'll see an amazing, AMAZING thing. 5 of the 13 winners have an Asian name and at least two others have foreign names too. There is one kid with a Greek sounding name, so he gets the benefit of the doubt. So, of the 13 winners, there is only two clear cut American names in the bunch. This is not right.
I've lived in many different areas of Virginia, and I feel quite safe to say Asians do not represent 5/13 of the population of our state, not even among school age children. Yet, my kids, whose parents are also "struggling", whose parents have actually paid into the freakin' system for many years, to include service in the Army, get left behind to accomodate newcomers.
Folks, I never thought I'd say this, as I am, or least used to be, a very libertarian oriented person, but whoever runs against immigration in the next election will get my vote. I could care less about any other issue, right now,(gun control is the other one). ANd I don't mean this pansy ass "illegal immigration" i mean, all immigration. Put a moratorium on it and get control of the culture. If Buchanan runs again, and I agree with him on not a whole lot, but he's got my vote.
I hope someone stands up and says enough is enough!
