E-mail received on immigration and education from
my sister, sent by the brother I no longer communicate with. Has anyone heard of this Frosty Wooldridge, or know anything about Rep. George Cleveland? The fact that Wooldridge is a supposed teacher, with this kind of attitude, is frightening.
I tried finding this on Snopes, to no avail.

*******************************


This came from a NC Senator (Rep. George Cleveland) in the NC General Assembly. I would be real curious as to where you stand on this issue...

February 27, 2006
News With Views.com

As a teacher, I sat dumbfounded last May 16, 2005, when the Rocky Mountain News inked a story, "What Happened?" to a stunned Denver, Colorado audience. In a five year study starting in 1999 in Denver Public Schools, 5,663 students started the eighth grade. Five years later, only 1,884 graduated from high school. That's a 65 percent drop out/flunk out rate! That's pathetic, if not frightening.

What was the cause? First of all, 30,000 illegal aliens, speaking 40 different languages, attended Denver schools. Our classrooms suffered thousands of kids functionally illiterate in English with parents functionally illiterate in English and Spanish. The classrooms featured so much incompatible diversity that it created horrific tension, stabbings and death.

Thus, American kids suffered a profoundly dumbed-down educational process. One in five teachers quit or transferred out of those Denver classrooms every nine month cycle during those five years.

Last week, the Denver Post announced that 30 percent of teachers in Denver schools were not coming back next year. This is a nationwide travesty Why? As a teacher, I taught in the inner city in the 1970s. It's exasperating beyond understanding to walk into a classroom where children suffer learning disabilities, broken homes, teen pregnancies at 14, 15, 16, multiple languages and violent confrontations with other ethnic groups. It's impossible to teach. I left my idealism in the ghetto and escaped to a suburban school. But, today, teachers can't escape because over 1.5 million illegal alien students with more than 100 languages attend our kids' schools nationwide. We witness a national breakdown in education. Last week, Superintendent Roy Romer of Los Angeles public schools resigned in frustration and defeat. California schools match the violence of a war zone.

Can you imagine such a failure rate across the country? Can you imagine the consequences of an illiterate generation leading this Republic into the 21st century? Folks, this country won't make it. Where is the outrage?

It takes four aspects for a free and democratic society to maintain itself. It requires a highly educated population that can write, read, think and vote intelligently. It takes a similar moral code whereby everyone adheres to the common good. It requires a similar code of ethics whereby citizens adhere to honesty, doing what is right and maintaining those ethics throughout the social fabric. Finally, it takes a similar language that allows citizens to discuss, debate and resolve problems. We compromise all four with an invasion exceeding four million new people into the USA annually? 20 million illegals to date and climbing. We allow the disintegration of our nation without a whimper. Where is the outrage?

Last Monday, February 20, 2006, the Rocky Mountain News reported, "Mile-High Drug Hub" making Denver the leading center for drug distribution in the United States. It's part of MS-13 Gang's dispersal of $128 billion in drugs crossing our border with Mexico every year. Ironically, Congress guards South Korea's border with 37,000 troops with our billions in tax dollars, pats down gray-haired ladies at our airports, spends $80 billion annually on the war on drugs, but leaves our border unguarded allowing that $128 billion in drugs to cross year after year. Additionally, terrorists from any country can walk over the Mexican border with a 99 percent chance of succeeding. Where is the outrage?

With a growing illegal alien population exceeding 300,000 in Colorado, the state House legislators on Wednesday of last week defeated six bills to stop illegal alien migration. One particular bill, HB 1134, would have given cops the ability to arrest, detain and deport illegals. It was soundly defeated after dozens of citizens, including this Coloradan, testified to support the bill's passage.

I demanded, "We are tired of being collateral damage for illegal aliens. We're tired of being raped, killed, robbed and our schools being trashed by multiple languages while our medical systems take better care of illegals than our own citizens."

Representative Francesca Natividad Coleman remarked that it was a Federal issue. I retorted, "We're the ones getting killed and raped here locally and we're tired of it." Last year, three Coloradans were killed by illegals; Greeley, Colorado suffered 270 hit and run car accidents alone; eight rapes by illegal aliens in Boulder and thousands of robberies. Where is the outrage?

To top off the crisis in our Denver schools, the Rocky Mountain News reported the next day, February 21, 2006, "Welfare Surges 45%" with an increase of 4,743 cases. They said it was tough job hunting, but neglected to mention that 300,000 illegal aliens in Colorado stole jobs from Coloradans in every sector: drywall, construction, landscaping, fast food, house painting, janitorial, paving and dozens of other jobs formerly worked by Coloradans. Where is the outrage?

Denver Mayor Hickenlooper hired illegal aliens long before he was mayor and one of his illegal employees, Raul Gomez-Garcia, killed Denver police officer Don Young last May. Hickenlooper stood in direct violation of federal laws and could have been fined $2,000.00 per illegal alien hired (estimated at 70 working in his restaurants) and he could have gone to prison for five years. Governor Owens actually endorsed a booklet showing illegal aliens how to imbed themselves in Colorado. He aided and abetted illegal aliens, but didn't receive a slap on the wrist. Where is the outrage?

Since it's happening in my state with 300,000 illegal aliens, can you imagine what is happening in California with three million. Or, North Carolina with one million. How about Illinois with one million illegals. How about Texas with 1.5 million. I know Texans pay over $4.1 billion annually for educating their massive load of student illegals. Where is the outrage?

We're being colonized with over nine million illegal alien Mexicans crashing our schools, medical systems, language, culture, parks, tax and welfare systems. One look at the headlines of major newspapers across the country echoes and mirrors the Rocky Mountain News. Where is the outrage?

It stupefies me beyond comprehension that Americans sit back and watch this invasion of their country without any outrage. Worse, without any response! More than that--without a concern for their own kids' future! Even more horrific, the line of immigrants from Mexico (and the world) shows no sign of stopping, as the number of Mexicans grows from their current 106 million to 200 million in this century.

As I open this can of worms weekly, as I expose this accelerating national crisis weekly, as you experience its quickening day by day I would think the outrage would reach fantastic levels. But it is not! In fact, Bush, Congress and governors of all 50 states not only watch it happen they actively aid and abet it. Arlan Specter ofPennsylvania wants to add another one to two million legal immigrants annually. Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy want to give amnesty to 20 million illegals and add more in a guest worker program. Utah's Chris Cannon welcomes millions of Mexicans as he encourages their takeover of our country. His sidekick Senator Orrin Hatch mirrors that sentiment. Representative Joe Baca of California actively promotes the takeover of California by Mexico as he endorses "Reconquista of Aztlan." As Mark Twain said, "Suppose you were an idiot; and suppose you were a member of Congress; but then, I repeat myself." Twain got it right, but where is the outrage?

While 85 to 95 percent of the American public wants our borders secured, they stand around quietly sucking their thumbs while doing nothing. However, the outrage and arrogance of millions of illegal alien migrants in America advances like Paris, France's recent experience with immigration. 10,000 fire bombed cars and a month-long conflagration! We watched stupidly as if it won't happen to us. Think again!

Of the thousands of emails I receive, the worst and the most frightening ones are from citizens who tell me, "Keep your powder dry!"

Cheap Labor?

Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?

Business don't want to pay a decent wage,

consumers don't want expensive produce,

Govenment will tell you Americans don't want the jobs
but the bottom line is cheap labor.

"The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie.

There is no such thing as "cheap labor."

Take, for example, an illegal Mexican who sneaks in here with his wife and five children.

He takes a job for five or six dollars an hour.

At that wage with six dependents he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year if he files income tax he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free.

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent,

He qualifies for food stamps.

He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.

His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.

He requires bilingual teachers and books.

He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.

If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled they qualify for SSI.

Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for medicare.

All of this is at that taxpayers expense.

He doesn't have to worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.

Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.

He cannot be fired, harassed, or sued.

He and his family receive the equivalent of $20 to $30 an hour in benefits.

Working Americans are lucky to have $5 or $6 an hour left after paying their bills and his.

They also pay for increased crime, graffiti, and trash cleanup.

Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT!"

1. "Frosty Wooldrige--speaker, author, environmentalist, patriot"
His bio mentions a "a career teaching in math and science"--but doesn't mention the length of his "career." He's had many interests & the anti-immigration movement appears to be his latest scam.

www.frostywooldridge.com/info/about.html

The Southern Poverty Law Center tells his story in the issued devoted to "The Nativists." Check out some of his pals while you're at it.

3. I received this e-mail too. It was pretty good up until the tirade
on immigration. I think we ought to have a good education, but why are we encouraging mutli-lingual society like other countries?

4. I'd like to know how much of those educational statistics are fact
myself. I also think multilingualism should be encouraged. This guy is spooky!

6. We've always had non-English speaking immigrants.
Some of the first wave don't learn the language well. But their children did. Most even embraced the American Tradition of English Only.

I'd also like to see some hard data supporting his "facts."

7. Hooray for Frosty Woodbridge!
Thanks for posting this. Woodbridge is right on the money. It's all about cheap labor, and everyone knows it. Unlike the elitist leaders of both parties, he's concerned about American workers.

Here's a great one page summary of Senator Specter's "plan" for opening the floodgates to more immigration:

8. Frosty did not write the addenda to his essay.....
"Cheap labor" is not his major concern. From the lovely folks at VDARE:

October 01, 2004

A Writer and a Filmmaker Speak Out For America
By Joe Guzzardi

In his new book, Immigration’s Unarmed Invasion: Deadly Consequences, journalist, environmentalist and activist Frosty Wooldridge (e-mail him: frostyw@juno.com), details how the 1965 Immigration Reform Act transformed America from the cohesive nation-state of yesteryear into the multicultural, unassimilated empire now slipping toward Third World status.

Whether readers live in Colorado, as Wooldridge does, or in California, as I do, or in virtually any other state, illegal immigration has found its way to your community.

And if your town is like my Central California city of Lodi, it has been changed beyond recognition.

In his 300-page book, Wooldridge writes about the multiple ways illegal immigration has adversely affected the U. S.—language, culture, crime, disease, wage depression and education.


www.vdare.com/guzzardi/frosty.htm

And--thanks for the link to that group with the inspiring name: "Coalition for the Future American Worker."

The Coalition for the Future American Worker is one of the many fronts created by national anti-immigrant groups to conceal their agenda. The so-called Coalition is actually the creation of the two largest anti-immigrant organizations, the Washington DC-based anti-immigrant group FAIR and the Virginia based Americans for Immigration Control (AIC).

Together, AIC and FAIR have received more than $1.4 million dollars from the white supremacist foundation known as the Pioneer Fund.

www.buildingdemocracy.org/reports/CFAW.pdf

Here's a (well-referenced) Wikipedia piece on The Pioneer Fund. Wikipedia entries are controversial; I'm sure somebody has evidence that these creeps are NOT Nazi eugenicists.

5. K&R! there is one BIG mistake in the numbers for sure...
Edited on Mon Jul-24-06 09:08 AM by Jeffersons Ghost
If an immigrant is "undocumented" how can anyone know how many are in America. In fact, CNN claimed we had 20 million 3 months ago. One month earlier it was also 20 million according to media. In fact every time I hear a number it remains at a static 20 million. I guess I should sigh with relief that no more of these undocumented aliens have entered the country through our very porous borders. It's really nice of them not to overburden us, considering the borders are still unguarded. I hope all the publicity doesn't make 10 million more decide to come into the US. Twenty million is enough for right now.
