Income tax return? Section 8 housing?<BR/><BR/>I don't know that it's <I>not</I> true, but I'm skeptical. These are means-tested programs. It wouldn't be too hard for them to check citizenship. I call BS on this one. <BR/><BR/>Snopes lists this urban legend as "Undetermined":<BR/>http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/tomatoes.aspAdamBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625655604759074752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671777.post-39339236199888031122007-11-30T00:39:00.000-06:002007-11-30T00:39:00.000-06:00When my children went to school they were required...When my children went to school they were required to learn a foreign language. French, Spanish or Latin and it was included in their cirriculum and there was no extra charge for it. <BR/><BR/>If we hire American workers to do the jobs the "cheap labor" is doing those workers will pay taxes and keep the money here in the United States and not send it back home to be used tax free. There is no such thing as "cheap labor". Its a myth that employers have made up to help them keep their costs down, or so they think. They don't realize that the taxes they pay are making up the difference of what they don't pay their workers. WAKE UP.<BR/><BR/>Also, if you want to be an American and don't want to be labeled as different then why do you call yourselves Latin-Americans, or African-Americans? That obviously sets you apart and you did it to yourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671777.post-41437074432843444872007-11-27T22:21:00.000-06:002007-11-27T22:21:00.000-06:00If those who can't speak English are given free le...If those who can't speak English are given free lessons in school, why are those who want to learn Spanish forced to pay for after school classes...at least in the upper Fox River Valley?Cal Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04337955959473420714noreply@blogger.com
