Thread: Illegal Aliens...Tracking the Money

AS some of you saw, I earlier today posted up information about the MEP or Migrant Educational Program, a $350 Million dollar a year program that benefits illegals under the quise of migrants....this got me to thinking....just how much money is our government actually spending right under our noses on Illegal Aliens under the quise of/the term migrant. You would be surprised. Here is another one.....FIVE MILLION for a pilot program to train the children of migrants at our exspense to take jobs from our children:

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: These projects are to develop and pilot three demonstrations nationally that offer improved educational and alternative work experience opportunities for migrant farmworker youth. These demonstrations are designed to reduce incentives for migrant farmworker youth to perform agricultural work under any one or combination of the following conditions: 1) In situations that may lead to child labor violations of agriculture workplace rules such as those of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), or 2) during the scheduled school session, or 3) in lieu of summer school attendance needed to complete a grade advancement.

GEOGRAPHIC AREA COVERED: Nationwide

Some girl and her family got deported to screaming bloody murder to lower rates for school. So, she obviously didn't get any money from this organization. I've never herd of it at all here in Northern Miami. This is sad though. I'm tired of them getting the easy way out of everything.

For most of us a bit older, we remember when there was a national outcry over the plight of the migrant worker, and in many respects it is still there....problem is (in my perspective) what used to be something we could all embrace has become a runaway support mechanism for illegal aliens.
