Town Hall – by Courtney O’Brien
Illegal immigrants, or “undocumented workers,” as New York lawmakers like to classify them, were just given the green light to teach children in the Empire State. The state Board of Regents ruled on Tuesday that people who are enrolled in President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals plan will be eligible to apply for teaching credentials.
But the Board of Regents, which sets education policy in New York, made the regulations official on Tuesday after first proposing them in February, saying individuals who came to the U.S. as children and can’t become citizens because of their parents’ status should be able to teach in New York.
“Today thousands of young people across the state have gained new opportunities,” Board of Regents Chancellor Betty Rosa said in a statement. “Their futures are no longer restricted in New York.”
Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia also praised the decision and insisted these undocumented citizens are innocent and should be given the opportunity to succeed.
“They are American in every way but immigration status,” Elia said.
Well, that’s kind of the point. Those who are American both in effort and status, are getting the shaft. They worked hard too – only to see their dreams dashed by an administration that is placing political correctness on a pedestal. Hiring an undocumented citizen means a natural born citizen is going to be denied a classroom of minds to mold.
As Sen. Terrence Murphy (R-Yorktown) pointed out, this new policy also puts military servicemen and women in an unfortunate position, for those who come from out of state already have a difficult time getting teaching licenses.
What about their futures?
OMG!!!!
Think about this for a moment. In NY, they will probably be teaching OTHER illegal immigrants. It’s like the catholic church opening up their basements to so-called asylum seekers. With the growing number of middle-class unemployed, it’s really not a stretch to consider homeschooling, and the long-term benefits for the children far outweigh the lifestyle change.
Slaves teaching slaves how to be better slaves and love their slavery. It’s a beautiful day on the new plantation.
So from this I can assume there are no unemployed American teachers?
These are more “jobs Americans won’t do”, right?
The news itself is becoming irrelevant. I think we’re only here to find out when the war is starting.
What else is there? All that’s offered are new ways to lie about how they’re screwing the American people in every way they can.
Perfectly articulated comment Jolly Roger.
This has become nothing but a freak show we’re witnessing.
“What you do gringo, is renounce your citizenship, move to Mexico, then step back across the border. They’ll fly you anywhere, free housing, money, the whole enchilada.”
Now we also have a Cuban invasion from the south, stemming from Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, and more that “don’t want them there.”
“Welcome, welcome”, says Obummer. Hum, well Barry, these people were kicked out of Cuba, then kicked out of other third world countries because they’re all murderers, druggies, “undesirables” , lowest form of human trash, it’s a “toss up” as to which is bottom on the Totem Pole.
Well they better teach all them mthrfkrs how to grow beans to goddamint.
