I have the greatest respect for anyone addressing
the gross injustices in funding that affect the quality of
life for students and families today.
BUT, As I am aware with documentation about the money
not being used in School District 299 for education,
i.e. Federal dollars. Can't one also address making
those in charges of these valuable dollars more
accountable for how they are being used than to
speak constantly abou how Illinois ranks 49th in
the nation in the amount of funding provided to
the states revenue.
Ponder the thought that if without fail it cold
be demonstrated that real accountablity was in
place for what was being done with the dollars
(Chicago) received for education,
It would not be so difficult to get more funds.
Failure goes both ways, money not being used
that was given and money being requested
and you cannot show what you are doing with
what you have and finally how can anyone
justify not spending 54 million dollars of Federal
dollars by a given dead line yet you want more
money??

tienes toda la razon solo los indios americanos son los nativos americanos de este pais y ellos ni dicen nada lo que pasa es que no quieren dar una reforma migratoria por que todo el dinero que los inmmigrantes no reportan al I.R.S el gobierno se queda con el y con ese dinero a muchos americanos les pagan el welfer y si dicen que los inmmigrantes les bienen a quitar el trabajo es por que ellos no quieren trabajar

No one here is FULL American!
Every American ancestors are not Americans. some are Italians, Irish, polish , British ect. So I don't get why everyone is making a big fuss about it.
Immigrants came to America to built their own future, if you were in a country that was poor and had no money and you wanted to support your family, you would travel anywhere to make money. NO ONE came from to America just to have fun . I don't think anyone would leave their country unless they have to and they need too..
America has opened many opportunities for everyone. and helped everyone build their future. so before anyone saying that their shouldn't be immigrants in America, then they look at it in a different point of you. and need to stop being prejudice about it..

This is to encourage you, Oronde, for all of the hard work that you are putting in to tell the story of the African-American people, more specifically African-American youth and families. With the ever-widening gap of the disproportionate representation of African-American children in the foster care system continuing to enlarge itself and at the same time being ignored by itself, it takes someone committed to make sure that the truth is getting disseminated so that the truth can set the people free. I know tha it can get discouraging sometimes to fight the good fight when it appears as if the masses would rather snub the obvious rather than address it. But you stay encouraged. The good Lord knows your heart and the desires you have therein shall be granted by Him. Continue the good fight of faith. I'm in your corner. Somebody has got to tell the story. I'm praying for you.

Linda,
I just saw you interviewed on www.democracynow.org regarding the decline of the newspaper industry. Something that no one addressed is one of the reasons, and my specific reason for no longer subscribing to any newspapers.
Even though I spend about $ 500 per year for web based newsletters I refuse to spend one penny towards any newspapers because of their liberal biase.
thank you.

Dear Brothers & Sisters:
We the slave descendants who have been in bondage in America for 453 years are planning to return to our original homeland in the near future. We have been working for years inside the international legal arena to establish our Human Rights and secure Reparations for all 250 million Afrodescendants in the western hemisphere. In order to learn more about the Reparations Movement please read each and every issue of Muhammad Speaks newspaper published by the Lost-Found Nation of Islam under the leadership of the Honorable Silis Muhammad. When the Lost Sheep return home we plan to help the entire continent elevate itself. We need each other to truly succeed.
Peace,

El escándalo en torno al agotamiento de nuestras reservas no lo provoca su rol decisivo en nuestra economía, que no existe, sino las presiones y necesidades de los poderosos que nos compran el crudo. Y en contrapartida, ahí están los cientos de miles de mexicanos cazados como bestias feroces en la frontera yanqui; usados descaradamente como “tema electoral” por los aspirantes a la presidencia de EE.UU.; tratando de enternecer a los perros de presa que los persiguen y deportan exhibiendo su dolor humano por la separación de sus hijos y repitiendo, hasta el hartazgo, que no los deben echar porque son necesarios para la prosperidad y bienestar del blanco anglosajón, es decir, suplicando al poderoso que les permita servirlo cuando debería ser al revés. Esta vergonzosa situación podría revertirse de modo rápido y efectivo si disminuyera la oferta de brazos mexicanos; si México se pusiera en serio a producir a base de un uso racional y moderno de sus recursos naturales, el petróleo en primer lugar, en vez de estar disputando sobre si es inteligente o no darle una rebanada del pastel petrolero a la iniciativa privada. Por ese camino no lograremos otra cosa, evidentemente, que incrementar el desempleo, la pobreza y el desamparo de las masas populares, ya hoy mismo al borde del abismo de la desesperanza y del rencor social.

i was once a immigrant and i came here without permission. I am now legal but that has not change me at all. im proud to be mexican and i feel bad about the people that are illegal and i think that they should be given a chance to be here and have a life. not only are they suffering but many of them have families to support and people who are against them have no idea what is like to be here illegal. i believe that one day all the immigrants will soon have a to be here legally.

As I read these Posts I am just dumbfounded by the amount of hatred people of Latin American descent can have for one another. All Hispanics share much in common, most especially our language. I do not understand how some of you could post such sick nonsense about others who share your language and still concider yourselves God fearing persons. Do you not realize that you are generalizing a whole culture? Do you not understand that your bigoted attitude is exactly what great men like Dr. King gave their lives to rid this great country of? Why then do you perpetuate this racist mentality towards those who are of a lower economic status than you? You are hypocrites! Latinos come in all different shapes, colores and sizes. We are also all tied together through history. If you do consider yourself an American, then you should never use class, "smell", skin color, or language, to catagorize what a good person is, or should be. Remember, Americans come from all around the world, and smell or look all kinds of ways!
With that said, most Hispanics living here in the U.S. ( I say most because I can't generalize all) realize there has to be some sort of solution to solving Mexico's emmigration problem and our immigration problem. However, MOST of us believe that there has to be a better solution, and not just a better solution, but also a long lasting solution to these problems. Bickering about physical traits and cultural practices gets us no where. Doing so simply places us in a vicious cycle of hate and prejudice; and this is exactly what politicians like Dick Cheney want, because then they can make their corporate buddies richer.
Consider:
1.) The economy is in a recession, mostly caused by the Mortgage crisis and the bad lending practices of banks. Not because of Immigrants.
2.) Low Skilled Jobs are leaving this country because we are in a globalized economy (for those of still living in the 20th century as suppose to the 21st, this may come as a shock) where countries attempt to liberalize economic tariffs and have their corporations compete globally. As a result the U.S. job Market is quickly moving towards service sector jobs, ie. Intellectual Properties, Computer Software etc. What does this mean for our generation? Well it means a lot, but mainly it means GET YOUR COLLEGE DEGREE. All of you who were born here and competing with immigrants for jobs like Janitor, Construction worker, landscape, etc. are in a losing battle. Use the fact that your an American to demand that our Congress lower the price of public universities, raise the quality of primary and secondary education in your neighborhoods, Universalize Health Care, etc. Kicking every immigrant worker who works for less than minimum wage out at once will not guaruntee you the good future you desire. Health Care costs too much, gas cost too much, houses cost too much, Private education and college cost too much, etc.
3.) My friends, roofing, Cooking, Cutting the grass, Walking the Dog, Cleaning the Motel, Painting, etc. cannot and will not ever go to China. These jobs are here to stay forever because they can only be done by someone here in the U.S. It is silly to say that those type of Low Skilled labor jobs will be exported to China!!!
However, if there is no one to clean the motel 6 you sleep at for less than six dollars per hour, then your nightly rates will rise. The same goes for everything else.
However if you're complaint is that it is not fair that immigrants take these kinds of jobs because he or she is willing to work for less $ than you, lets consider the alternative.
You work for motel 6 as a cleaner, you demand that your pay be at least enough to sustain you. Let us just say that for this to occur you need to be paid at least $8.50 by the hour, well above minimum wage in most states. Well guess what, gas costs over $4 a gallon, good Health insurance is way over your price range, rent costs are going up, and that kind of job almost always has no union; so the moment you miss work or mouth off to a boss, your gone, because there are tens of thousands of other Americans who also want your job. Not only that, but all of us who do have a college education, and can afford to vacation, now have to pay more money for a room because the motel has to make up for the extra money they spend on having you work there for $8.50 per hr. In the long run we all end up back at square one.
4.) Stop getting all of your information from Lou Dobbs. He is not an expert, and he is not objective. Try reading about this subject from different sources and wathcing multiple media outlets. Expand your minds my friends!!!
So I say, why waist our time writing hate Posts? Articulate yourself respectfully and RATIONALLY. Let's talk about solutions, instead of arguing about who smells and such. Si SE Puede!!!!
Best wishes to all!!

-How can this,or any other, country afford to take in so many illegal immigrants who do not have even the most basic education to be successful in an advanced country like the USA? Yhey can come to COOK, CUT THE GRASS, WALK THE DOG, CLEAN THE MOTEL, DO ROOFING, PAINTING, ETC, but where will they be when more and more of the jobs in Ammerica are shipped to China and other undeveloped countries? Real legal Americans are having a hard time finding a job in this era. How are these illegal immigrants going to live in here. Calderon, Slim, Obrador, Televisa, Monsenor,,,,take them back to where they belong.
