Thread: Wkgn: Buying a house? Immig. advice? School Fair, text flyer

Our school district has sponsored numerous Health and Immigration Fairs on site at schools in the past.

My children brought home a flyer for quite a new event this week. Not only are they holding a 'Immigration Services Forum' but also it will be a 'Financial & Housing Information Fair.'

FYI: The state of Illinois estimates that we have 62,000 illegal aliens -pop. is around 100,000. The police estimate we have 1/3.


The topics will include;

10:30 How to avoid housing discrimination and programs for first time home buyers

11:15 Your money, your life: How to handle your finances effectively

11:40 What to do to avoid losing your home: options for home owners

A rep from US Citizenship and Immigration Services will also be there to talk about pending cases.

Brings a lot of what ifs to mind. What if the conference gives wrong advice and our district is held liable. Who is paying for the free childcare during the event? Who is paying for the building being open on a Saturday?

This information came home on a flyer with the school children. It was approved by the superintendent.

Warning: Although this information applies to most all of us the note says that "most sessions will be conducted in Spanish with an English translator available if needed."

*The announcement isn't on the district website. When it is I'll link it.

Can you believe it??!! Sessions will be held in a foreign language with English available if needed. I'm going just so they need it.

Good luck going and please let us know what happens! I would definitely ask a lot of questions in English, especially why there is a course on immigration, when these people are already here and supposedly know the laws. I would ask questions in Finnish and demand translation of the answers. If you know of another irate parent that speaks another language besides Spanish, take them along. Oh, I could have fun with this!!
Of course, it is taxpayer dollars that are paying for this event.

I would be making some call claiming 'discrimination' and also pandering to those who brought this country down to begin with. This is unacceptable. Is it at the tax payers' expense.

Language discrimination!!!

I would be gathering some folks to protest this.

This should be made a you tube video of letting taxpayers know what they have to pay for!!!

ENGLISH AVAILABLE IF NEEDED.... WHERE THE HELL DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?!!!! OUTRAGEOUS!!!!

Well if that doesn't just take the cake! I hope tons of English speakers show up and demand translators.

How nice.......any other translators for the other "immigrants" needing immigration and housing help? You know the HUNDREDS of other immigrant languages spoken? Or do they not count? And American CITIZEN with housing issues needs a TRANSLATOR? In an OFFICIAL LANGUAGE ENGLISH state?

I tell ya fedup.......this irks me to no end. I've seen occational mentions in the papers for "hispanic home buyers" and special meetings for them at the high school to diversify our "community". They already constitute about half but that's not "diverse" enough.

FedUp: please PM me the details of the meeting - date, time, any details you can share especially the language about English translators.

Would you also please send this information to Fred Flannigan at WKRS radio. He participated in the "Hold their Feet to the Fire" meeting in Washington.

Count the refugee "Flor Crisostomo" impersonating "Elvira Arellano" as 2.
She seems to be getting bigger at the mid section.
