    New York City College of Technology in Brooklyn offers 15-week hospitality management training classes combined with English and math. Students will end up with a City Tech certificate that’s also recognized in Mexico.

    City University of New York Vice Chancellor Jay Hershenson said the program aims to head off an “educational catastrophe” among Mexican immigrants.

    CUNY said the program is funded by a $100,000 grant from the Mexican government.

    I’m an American – can I take the class or will I be excluded due to my US citizenship?

    Maybe the Mexican government should use that money to protect their borders.

    “A New York City college has launched a pilot program that allows undocumented Mexican restaurant workers to take classes.”
    Will there be raids on all these businesses taking in undocumented workers or are they only reserved for people like Rubashkin?

    We are in an upside down world:

    This college is making programs for illegals, schools cater to illegals, police are prohibited from asking illegals about their status, hospitals must give them free services, yet woe unto the person who gives the said illegal a JOB! Did you say JOB?! Oh, my, what a criminal you are, you employed someone?

    The “criminal” evil employer replies: what’s so terrible? I gave them jobs, I pay them, I pay their payroll taxes, they can put food on the table and pay their rent.

    ICE and the entire “morally outraged” public responds: No, you are a dirty criminal. Schools must teach the children, as they must get an education, we don’t want them on the streets, colleges are noble for giving them courses, so they don’t become vagrants and useless residents of the USA, hospitals must give them free healthcare with your tax dollars as that is only morally right. But giving the man a JOB!? That’s terrible! They might actually earn their own money! And you are an evil capitalist because you pay them low wages! You must pay them MORE, but you also may not employ them, we want them to be on the streets, but we don’t want the police to stop them.

    This is not insanity, the Mexican government is paying for it, not us, and it’s for the benefit of their citizens. Why is it insanity that people who are here should learn english and math?

    Cont…

    We wait for them to commit crimes and then we fill our jails with them, we will not *deport* them, because we must *punish* them for their crimes (besides, we may not ask them to show their citizenship status). But *you*, evil capitalist employers, how dare you give them jobs!! So what if they showed IDs and SS cards, you *knew* they were probably illegal!

    Then Arizona passes a law that permits police to ask for IDs, and the entire country from the President to NYT is up in arms: how dare you ask for IDs, they must not be disturbed!

    Bottom line is: It all started with employing illegals. Agri was torn down, R’ SM vilified, the Governor of Iowa announced that Agri must be investigated until they find some dirt on them, then they must prosecute to the utmost degree. Even now, when they run out of steam on the financial conviction they quickly point back to the *illegals* as the proof that this man is just “an all around criminal”. A Jewish “sheister” and “fraudster” (new favorite code-word) of the highest order, and he must be burnt at the stake.

    We can do whatever we want with these illegals, but how dare you give them jobs!!! Moral crime! Shame on the Jews!

    How do they determine who can take the class? Do you need a document to prove that you’re an undocumented worker?

    To top it off WE ARE ALL PAYING one way or another for this. If the govt was more interested in securing the borders instead of looking at these people as probable Democrat Party votes, we could get something done. Alas the Democrat Party is more interested in power than protecting its citizens.

    These libs are helping our enemies by sowing the seeds of our own destruction. If the libs have their way, the United States will no longer be the great country that it was. What the Communists could not accomplish, we are doing it for them.

    When “we” arrived in the U.S. sixty years ago we were also immigrants. I think we could show some compassion.

    At least these illegals work and put bread on the tables for their families.

    A very large percentage of our own, home-grown, American citizen, yeshiva bochers have not done a single, productive, day’s work in their lives.

    You people are a bunch of hypocrites. You cry and complain about the illegal Mexican immigrants, but you have no problem patronizing the dozens of KOSHER supermarkets and restaurants that employ them.
