Per my earlier thread about the Mexican American Legal Defense & Education Fund....the readings on their site get worse! Here is a paragraph sure to inflame from a document to be found on their site at http://www.maldef.org/fair/index.htm:

"Further, MALDEF provided extensive oral and written comments to the California State Commission on the implementation guidelines for Proposition 10, the tobacco tax set to fund early childhood development for California's infants and toddlers. As a result the state commission guidelines now explicitly recognize that all young children are eligible for initiative-funded programs, regardless of their immigration status. At MALDEF'S urging, the funding distribution guidelines also included commitments to create childcare facilities in urban Latino communities, to focus on the issue of pesticide exposure to children of farm workers, to develop culturally and linguistically appropriate media/outreach efforts and to utilize a diversity task force as part of the program. "

Note that all these programs mentioned above are to benefit ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS CHILDREN (whether the child is an anchor kid or not)
