Seeking knowledge and finding threats

MARY SANCHEZ

Freshman year of college is anxious enough for most young people. There are exams, missing home, dealing with roommates, keeping up with classes and often a job as well.

Thirty young students in Kansas have an additional worry.

They fear their college degrees â€â€

My son wants to go to the college of his choice and freshman year will be a very hard year for him (and all freshmen/women).

His first concern is how will he pay for said college? Also, how will he get into the overcrowded dorms that have a wait list already? He NEEDS to live in the dorm as he cannot afford to live in an apartment. It's hard enough to get through college with a full course load without worrying about getting to your job. The job he will have to have to pay for college and a place to live, if the dorms are unavailable to him. He also will need time to study. It is obvious that your study time will be cut down if you are forced to work a job while in college just to pay for a place to live.

UNC Wilmington has implimented a backgroud check and a complete check of answers on the application forms due to the deaths in 2004 of two of their students. The murderers, also UNCW students, lied on their applications by stating they had no felony convictions in their past. These were not illegal aliens and no implication is made that they were.

However, with the implimented backgroud check and applications, it would be fairly easy for the UNC College systems to release the information regarding applications of illegal aliens to the police. Not the Campus Police either. The City and State police.

Why should my son or any other American citizen stand in a line behind an illegal alien for anything? Especially not for admission to college or admission for Dorm space.

The column written in the Wilmington newspaper has been written by someone who doesn't understand the issue. This issue is not about who "deserves" to go to college, the issue is who "deserves" under American Law to BE IN THE UNITED STATES.

This bill in Kansas, like the HB 1183 proposed here in North Carolina, will take seats away from ALL AMERICAN STUDENTS. We've learned through the debate here in North Carolina, that there is already in existence a federal law that specifices if a state gives in-state tuition to any non-legal-resident, then they must give it to all who apply, where they be from NC, California, Mexico, Russia, China, Africa, Viet Nam, Korea, Aghanistan, etc.

The law is not about an education for a few children of farmworkers in Kansas or North Carolina, the law, part of a national legislative agenda devised and advocated by the National Council of La Raza to put American students in competition with the entire world for the sole purpose of displacing American students in American colleges and universities with foreign nationals who would then legally under state and federal law have as much right to a seat in any college or university as an American student.

Trust this--not one bill, NOT ONE, that supports illegal or legal immigration at this point into the United States is in the best interest of the American People. It is part of a plan devised by globalists to take away our education; to take away our jobs; and make us drones to an "international free market that allows proper allocation of resources to achieve maximum econoic efficiencies". This is the definition of socialism created by Carl Marx that requires a single administrator or world government to administer what is "proper" and what is "maximum".

The best that I can determine from more than 2 weeks now of almost 24 hour a day research is:

The world government would be an oligarchy using marxism to serve the oligarchy on a world-wide basis. The oligarch would consist of a few international multi-national corporations along with some government-owned corporations like those we see in China.

Individual nation-states would still exist but more for policing purposes than any other purpose.

Freedom and democracy would not exist for the purposes of economics or trade. The "free" in the term international free market means without borders and has nothig to do with "freedom". It means "free-flow of goods and labor".

The individual who wrote the article for the Wilmington newspaper is obviously sheltered by their existence; has no common sense; and has either been looking the other way or doesn't know yet what is up. There is the theory that many hold that some of the oligarchy members will be communications companies and part of the new controlled "world order". A free press doesn't exist in a Marxist world or a Marxist economy.

Look it up in your dictionary; look it up in your encyclopedia; look it up wherever you must to get to the bottom of what is going on so we all know and can take action to stop it.

Begin now with calling representatives, senators, everyone that has been elected to a post, including your newspapers and radio and television stations and tell them to vote NO NO NO on any bill that does anything for non-citizens of the US here without permission except provide for a safe return to their country of origin.

It has to stop NOW. These in-state tuitio bills MUST be defeated, not only in North Carolina but every state where they have been introduced through the legislative agenda of the National Council of La Raza.

What's that sound?

Oh that's applause! I'm one of them! You are absolutely right, Judy.

Thank you for the excellent information.

Center School District accused of denying Hispanic children enrollment

The Center School District is being investigated for a civil rights complaint alleging that Hispanic elementary children were denied enrollment because they were suspected of entering the country illegally.

District officials say they already have learned a valuable legal lesson: The Supreme Court ruled in 1982 that all children, whether they are in the country legally or not, must be allowed to be educated in public schools.

"It happened, and we learned," said David Leone, Center's director of human resources. "This district has learned what to do with undocumented children."

As it turns out, the children in question were born in this country, making them not only legal residents, but also U.S. citizens.

Nationally, cases like Center's are becoming more common, paralleling the movement of Central American and Mexican immigrants into states where they have not traditionally lived, said Raul Gonzalez, education policy analyst with the [color=darkredNational Council of La Raza[/color], a Washington-based organization.

La Raza has dealt with similar cases in Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and Hawaii. Often the issue is ignorance of the law, not outright discrimination, Gonzalez said.

"You can ask people for information, but you can't use it to deny them an education," Gonzalez said. "And you also violate the law if you have what is termed a `chilling effect,' which is using scare tactics or creating a climate of fear when people try to enroll."

Leone said he hopes the case with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights will be resolved quickly. The office won't comment publicly except to acknowledge the case is pending.

The 1982 Supreme Court ruling involved a Texas statute allowing schools to bar children of undocumented people or to charge them tuition. The court struck it down 5-4, saying the Texas law forced a "lifetime of hardship" and a "stigma of illiteracy" on the undocumented children, taking from them the opportunity to "contribute in even the smallest way to the progress of our nation."

The Center case is the result of the first attempts of Marlyn Figueroa, Sonia Alvarado and Rosa Lopez to enroll their children at Center Elementary School, 8401 Euclid Ave. Figueroa tried in September, the other mothers in January.

All but Lopez are fluent in English. The women allege they were asked for passports and green cards and were told the school does not accept illegal people. Also, they allege, they were questioned about how they crossed the border, and school officials threatened to call immigration officials.

The mothers had lived in the United States for years and came to Kansas City for its cost of living.

"California is too expensive," Alvarado said. "We wanted to move where there are jobs and where we could afford to buy a house."

Leone said the district still is investigating the allegations. He said all district schools were sent notice of the Supreme Court ruling after the women visited his office in January.

One of the children, 6-year-old Lucas Martinez, was out of school for nearly two months while Figueroa tried to get a copy of his birth certificate from California.

Figueroa said she thought she had all of the paperwork necessary to enroll Lucas, including his Social Security number, immunization records and a lease agreement to prove residency in the district. But she did not have his birth certificate.

She alleges the principal asked her, "Well, how do I know you are the mother of this child?"

Leone said attempts to prove the children lived in the district caused much of the confusion. Two families had been living with Figueroa within district boundaries. But since they were guests in the house, they did not have a utility bill or other receipt in their name to prove residency.

Lucas and three of the other children now are enrolled at Center's Indian Creek Elementary School.

"I really like this school," Alvarado said. "The teachers and the principal are very nice."

Two other children attend a Kansas City, Kan., parochial school.

Several had attended Pearson Elementary School in Kansas City, Kan., where 475 of the 725 students are in the English as a Second Language program.

Jean Henderson, principal at Pearson, said she called Center Elementary and then Center district offices when the parents told her of the complaints.

Henderson thinks Center officials were simply ignorant of the law and did not intend to discriminate.

In her school, Henderson said, all children are asked for the same documentation, but with the understanding that some may not have it.

"If they don't have immunization records, then our school nurse gives them the immunizations necessary," Henderson said. "If they don't have Social Security numbers, we don't worry about it."

Often, the undocumented children may be living with other families as they try to establish themselves, Henderson said. So sometimes they do not have proof of residence in Kansas City, Kan.

"You just go ahead and enroll the child," she said.

I found several articles written over the past several years by Mary Sanchez. You are right good12me, this author is not from North Carolina. Again, the people pushing education for llegals do not have the best interest if America in their hearts. She writes for hispanicbus.com, poynter.online, and apparently the Kansas City Star and free lances to boot. She wrote an article which has already been posted by someone else, Watchman I think, on the Minutemen. It was soft on both sides of the issue. This last article that you posted is without question over the line of reporting and a based article.

Our public education is already being destroyed by illegal immigration. In North Carolina, we are so beyond what we can handle that the Governor has thrown up his hands and said, lets leave the education of North Carolina children to "games of chance" and pay for it with Lottery Money.

Now, powers that be, globalist advocates, probably with ties to the oligarchy are aiding and abetting the same crisis in our state colleges and universities--all for the purpose of I believe dissolving the United States as we know it--no protected borders and thus no sovereign territory; flooded with illegals from every nation in the world once that occurs; our jobs taken by them because we already know the globalists prefer foreign labor; and the American People disempowered and turned into drones of commerce following a Marxist theory to achieve "economics of efficiency".

This is a national crisis of monumental proportions.

There at at least 50,000,000 illegals in the country now. You can take that to the bank....well, you better hurry because pretty soon you won't have an account.

That means these young people are actually meeting higher criteria than most students. Other kids simply have to live in the state for a year to establish residency and thus get the lower in-state fees.

I'm NOT buying this tripe. Minorities are not held to the same standards when entering college and quotas must be met by the school to avoid further lawsuits. PERIOD

Another case to go before the modern 'holy men' of the land:the judges and courts.Not very good.

And illegal does not equal minority to begin with!! For example the many Latinos are not minorities at all. Just plain old Caucasians like many of us and not entitled to anything "extra" or "special".

You're right.

Be that as it may---they're "considered" minorities according to our educational system and receive the same benefits.
