“Trading in tacos A new oppourtunity for construction related fields” will be taught in Adelphi all week long. Special Guest tutors will teach illegal alien survival including Casa 101 basics all illegals must know. I can’t wait to tie my storm door open 24/7 to let all know there is a room for rent.

No Kurtis
It is better if our Tax Dollars are spent on the many Americans and our homeless,of which many are war veterans.Lets use the money to help our citizens first. Believe me there are plenty out there that needs a lift for education and job training.

Even our so called middle class are struggling with a home,utilities,food and Gas.Our teachers,police,firefighters,the regular troopers of our County Govt. do not make a living wage.

And you want to give it away to Illegals that run across our Border.

How Pathetic.

I see stories like the one here and it makes me think-does Kaine actually wonder why we don’t trust him to increase taxes and send the money where it’s supposed to go? Does he really think that we’re that stupid? Worse yet, ARE we that stupid?

This could be our last best hope of ridding our County of Jose Walther Tejada once and for all, if he is indicted for aiding and abetting the unlawful presence of illegals (apologies for this redundancy).

Is it preferrable they, whoever they are, stay untrained and hang out at 7-11?

Calm down Krusty girl. They are getting training for construction, not chalupa making. Oy!

Greg:

It may be time to start enforcing the VA code section you cite with something like a mandamus action.

Interestingly, the WaPo presented another example of Virginia’s ineptitude

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/11/AR2008061103554.html

Va. Substance-Abuse Funding Diverted in ‘06
Finding Gaps in System, Audit Says $18 Million Went to Undetermined Programs

“State funding for substance-abuse programs is taken from annual profits recorded by the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The money is transferred into the state’s general fund, not to the agencies that provide counseling, group therapy and other programs. But state officials said that although the transfer to the general fund is mandated by state law, there is no language that specifies what happens to the money. ”

OK, I have no proof, but doesn’t most of the “back door” funding for programs that assist illegal aliens come from the (hard to track) General Fund?

Krutis, since they’re not returning, we need to help (ahem) them understand that they WANT to return home. Remember, the parasite eventually kills the host.

On a better side (and maybe this will help a little)…

Of course, Popeye, that is preferable, but since they aren’t returning, isn’t it better that they are gainfully occupied?
Just call it “foreign aid”!

Krutis, its preferable that they return to their country of
origin and apply for legal immigration.

Oh, American citizens are SURELY prohibited…don’t you know, programs such as this are designed to help the underpriviliged and downtrodden of our society…that we have so badly abused for so many years.

cough, cough, cough…

Maybe it’s time to put the word out to out-of-work Americans that this program is available and FREE, courtesty of the VA Taxpayers.

I’m sure there are even some stay-at-home Moms who would like to learn how to do some of the fix ups around the house - dry wall and simple electrical and plumbing.

The Program is already in place and there’s really not much that can be done about that - if you want to make it back fire, load it up with Americans applying for the courses and demanding they be in English.

There’s really no reason to be surprised that our General Assembly and Arlington County would fund programs like this with tax funded grants. Heck, Fairfax County has over $500,000 sitting in a bucket for day labor centers (that no one wants).

What a bunch of fools! They are certainly putting out the welcome mat in Arlingon. We must get the word out to our illegals. They need to get in on this gravy train.

Years ago, I saw the handwriting on the wall as a resident of
South Arlington. It was time to move away and raise my
children elsewhere. There must be something in the water.
I’m sure that tomorrow morning, Jim Moran will have something
to say in support. He is notorious for drinking some pretty
strong “water”.

OMG!!!!! I can’t believe how inept our government is. Will this madness ever end????

Wake up people and make some noise. It is the only way you are going to stop this waste of money on illegal aliens.
