How
America Treats Illegal Aliens vs. Veterans
Q: Which Group Gets The
Government Benefits? A: The likely Obama voters.”
A government that fails to secure its borders is
guilty of dereliction of duty. A government that fails to care
for our men and women on the frontlines is guilty of malpractice. A government
that puts the needs of illegal aliens above U.S. veterans for political gain
should be prosecuted for criminal neglect bordering on treason.
Compare, contrast and weep:
In Sacramento, Calif., lawmakers are moving forward with a
budget-busting plan to extend government-funded health insurance to at least 1.5
million illegal aliens.
In Los Angeles, federal bureaucrats callously canceled an
estimated40,000 diagnostic tests and treatments for American veterans withcancer
and other illnesses to cover up a decade-long backlog.
In New York, doctors report that nearly 40 percent of their
patients receiving kidney dialysis are
illegal aliens. A survey
of nephrologistsin 44 states revealed that 65 percent of them treat
illegal aliens withkidney disease.
In Memphis, a VA whistleblower reported that his hospital was
usingcontaminated kidney dialysis machines to treat America’s warriors. The same
hospital previously had been investigated for chronic overcrowding at its
emergency room, leading to six-hour waits or longer. Another watchdog probe
found unconscionable delays in processing lab tests at the center. In addition,
three patients died under negligent circumstances, and the hospital failed to
enforce accountability measures.
In Arizona, illegal aliens
incurred health care costs totaling an estimated $700 million in 2009.
In Phoenix, at least 40 veterans
died waiting for VA hospitals and clinics to treat them, while government
officials created secret waiting lists to cook the books and deceive the public
about deadly treatment delays.
At the University of California at Berkeley, UC President Janet Napolitano (former secretary of the Department of Homeland Security) has
offered $5 million in financial aid to illegal alien students. Across the country,
16 states offer in-state tuition discounts for illegal aliens: California,
Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New
Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington. In
addition, the Rhode Island Board of Governors for Higher Education, the
University of Hawaii Board of Regents and the University of Michigan Board of
Regents all approved their own illegal alien tuition benefits.
In 2013, the nation’s most selective colleges and universities had enrolled just 168 American veterans, down from 232 in 2011. Anti-war
activists have waged war on military recruitment offices at elite campuses for years. The huge
influx of illegal aliens in state universities is shrinking the number of
state-subsidized slots for vets.
In 2013, the Obama Department
of Homeland Security released 36,007 known, convicted criminal illegal aliens,
according to the Center for Immigration Studies. The catch-and-release
beneficiaries include thugs convicted of homicide, sexual assault, kidnapping,
and thousands of drunk or drugged driving crimes.
The same Department of
Homeland Security issued a report in 2009 that identified returning combat
veterans as worrisome terrorist and criminal threats to America.
In Washington, Big Business
and open-borders lobbyists are redoubling efforts to pass another massive
illegal alien amnesty to flood the U.S. job market with low-wage labor.
Across the country, men and women in uniform returning home from
Iraq and Afghanistan have
higher jobless rates than the civilian population. The unemployment rate for
new veterans has spiked to its worst levels, nearing 15 percent. For veterans
ages 24 and under, the jobless rate is a whopping 29.1 percent, compared to
17.6 percent nationally for the age group.
A Forbes columnist reported last year that an
Air Force veteran was told: “We don’t hire your kind.”
And last December, Democrats led the charge to reduce
cost-of-living increases in military pensions — while blocking GOP Alabama Sen.
Jeff Sessions’ efforts to close a $4.2 billion loophole that allowsillegal aliens to collect child tax credits from the IRS, even if they pay no taxes. The
fraudulent payments to illegal aliens would have offset the cuts to veterans’
benefits.
America: medical and welfare welcome mat to the rest of the world, while
leavings its best and bravest veterans to languish in hospital lounges, die waiting for appointments, and compete for jobs and
educational opportunities against illegal border-crossers, document fakers, visa violators and deportation evaders.
Shame on us.

An organization that published a list of 29 “Pitfalls of Working
With White People” that was circulated at a diversity conference earlier this
year received hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants from the U.S.
Department of Justice, the Daily Caller has learned.
Beyond Diversity Resource
Center, based in New Jersey, is listed as a partner organization for the White
Privilege Conference which was held in Madison, Wisc. in March.
One of the “pitfalls”
listed on the Center’s pamphlet, published by the website Progressives
Today, is that white people “ask stupid questions”.
The diversity group, which
claims that it “works to build a society that honors individuals because of
their cultural differences”, wrote on the pamphlet that whites “benefit
financially off the backs of people of color.”
White people “are
arrogant”, they “say something stupid” and “get too friendly too fast,” the
diversity center’s pamphlet claims.
The organization has
published several books on diversity and racism including “The Anti-Racist
Cookbook” and “The Great White Elephant”. They also lead educational seminars
and workshops throughout the country.
And an increasing share of
their funding has come from the federal government–mainly the U.S. Department
of Justice.
In fiscal year 2011, the
center received a $250,000 grant from the Office on Violence Against Women,
which falls under the DOJ.
In Aug. 2012, they received
a $249,479 grant from the Office for Victims of Crimes to conduct
“National field-generated training, technical assistance, and demonstration
noncompetitive continuation projects.”
{snip}
The Center’s grants have
increased substantially over the past several years.
They received nearly
$325,000 in government grants between July 2012 and June 2013, according
to their 2012 Form 990. In the year ending in June 2012, the Center
received just over $147,000. In the prior two years, the center received no
government grants while receiving smaller grants in the years before that.{snip}
[Though
the article did not mention another point, I shall. The Governor of Wisconsin is Republican Scott
Walker. Yet, for the Conference on White
Privilege in Madison, Wis. this April, 2014, Wisconsin state departments spent
at least $20,000 to subsidize this hate-whitey conclave. The Wis. Dept. of Instruction, part of the
Dept. of Education paid to have teachers and students come to hear this
anti-white propaganda. One expects this
evil from the racist hate-whitey Obama Administration. One expects the Democrats to push this racist
ideology on teachers. But most
Republicans do nothing to stop it, and in the case of Wisconsin Republicans,
they even subsidize this evil, racist, hate-whitey propaganda.---Hugh Murray]

There really is no end to the insanity that goes on at the
Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. Now the agency says it will no longer perform
personnel reviews, on the grounds that the results of earlier
reviews appeared to show that it discriminates against minority employees. In
particular, on a 1 to 5 scale, whites got higher scores than Hispanics, who got
higher scores than blacks. To remedy this, the agency will now proceed (and pay
everyone) on the basis that all of its employees are 5s. Everyone’s a winner!
Only rather than a trophy, everyone gets cash money. Welcome to cloud-cuckoo
land.
One wants to burst out
laughing, but this is actually yet another sign of what a messed up bureaucracy
the CFPB really is.
First, this is an important issue for banks for the simple
reason that the CFPB intends to regulate them on the basis that “disparate
impact” on minorities–the same disparate impact that showed up in its
performance reviews–is prima facie evidence of discrimination in things like
lending decisions. Which is ridiculous. No one believes the CFPB is a hotbed of
deliberate racism, regardless of how its performance reviews turn out.
Similarly, the agency shouldn’t rely on disparate impact as a sign lenders
deliberately discriminate against minority borrowers. If it does, then banks,
to stay on the safe side, will likely respond by making credit less available
to all borrowers. Who does that help?
But more to the point, this is no way to run an organization.
It’s an issue of simple equity.“By self-identifying and self-correcting these
[performance review disparities],” CFPB head Richard Cordray told American Banker, “we
are holding ourselves accountable to the same standards of fairness that we
expect of our regulated entities.” {snip}
