IMMIGRATION
Monday November 1st – the day before Election Day – the lawsuit challenging Arizona’s SB 1070 resumes. What right does Mexico have to have even filed a brief in US Federal Court against Arizona’s immigration law? Our own President of The United States has sided with foreign Nationals by suing Americans. The Obama administration is taking away from our own children while using our tax money for the children of illegal aliens.
EDUCATION
September 15th speaking on the Small business Fund Act of 2010, Senator Dick (Durbin) basically blamed our kid’s student loan defaults as a major reason for the bad economy. Look what he is doing to our children vs. illegal alien children.
“Low-income students don’t know any better. They are signing up for courses with promises that can’t be kept. Today, school officials are working with incentives, incidentally, that push companies to bring in the highest volume of financial aid, which means they will sign up anybody who can qualify. They don’t care if you can read or write. Literally, they will put you on as one of their students earning a baccalaureate degree, and they will get the money from the Federal Government. Incidentally, they complained recently because we capped how much Federal money a for-profit college can receive of their revenues at 90 percent–and they complained. Colleges that have burdened students with this debt, without giving them the skills and credentials, should share a piece of this default risk. Maybe then the colleges would focus less on bringing in as many students as possible, at the highest tuition as possible, and focus more on preparing students to succeed. We need to seriously consider this risk sharing, as well as other ideas to bring student loan debt defaults under control. I look forward to working with my colleagues. For those of us who have voted reflexively for Federal student loan increases and Pell grants, the party is over. I will not stand by and watch billions in taxpayers’ money funneled into for-profit schools that heap debt on the students and fail to give them the training and degree they need to succeed in life. It is time to bring this to an end.”

Then the very next day yet, Liberal Senator Dick (Durbin) on the Dream Act;
http://www.c-spanarchives.org/program/ID/2330…
While Senator Dick obviously knows what our own children in poverty are facing, he wants to make it harder on us as he would be adding many millions of older poor (fifth grade educated) low income illegal’s (parents and siblings’ of Dream Act recipients) to our welfare system, housing, medical care, and social security, and job market. Senator Dick asks how we can turn our backs on the many, many children of illegal aliens. Well how about our children? Look at the number of students which graduated between 2006 and 2009 from any US high school which still cannot get grants or loans to attend their cheapest community college. Many of who are also unemployed, poor, and need healthcare, there are many legal citizen children who deserve to attend college or trade schools. Put our own kids first! Aside from all the anchor babies, look at the older adult education that will be required. Can anyone estimate the huge cost of providing the education needed just to receive a GED for the millions upon millions of fifth grade educated new US citizens which would be place on tax payers?
EDITORIAL: Short-sale scandal over Obama rules Traders win as for-profit college students suffer
The Obama administration is proposing new regulations to block college access to 300,000 students of for-profit colleges. This benefits sharpie short-sellers out to make their own profits.

[...] Thought this might be good time to remind everyone, while there is a big push for this Nightmare Dream Act, there is also a move to stop Federal student loans and Pell Grants from going to our own citizen children presently in private colleges. It is again take from our own children and reward the children of illegal aliens. Senator Dick… [Durbin’s], exact words are here; http://papundits.wordpress.com/2010/10/21/there-is-no-midterm-dilemma/ [...]
