Invasion! U.S. 'sanctuary city' succumbs to illegals

Friday 30th of July 2010 09:40:20 AM
Posted by admin / Under Spanish Missions In California

A California "sanctuary city" has fallen victim to illegal immigration – going bankrupt and firing all of its public employees, Jerome Corsi's Red Alert reports. The city of Maywood, Calif., hit the budget wall after it decided not only to be a sanctuary city, but to be a completely "safe haven" for illegal aliens seeking protection from deportation. "Predictably, mainstream media newspapers, including the Financial Times in London, chose to present Maywood as a victim to the recession, rather than to tell the whole story – that Maywood fell victim to illegal immigration," Corsi wrote. "Crushed by the recession and...

Created under the orders of Bernardino de Sahagun by 20 tlacuilos or painters and 4 Indigenous masters, Florentine Codex is one of the greatest expressions of the Renascence in America.

Restorer Diana Magaloni had access to the original document at the Laurentian Library (Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana) in Florence, Italy, to deepen research:...

As the academic year winds down, Creighton School Principal Rosemary Agneessens faces a wrenching decision: what to do with veteran teachers whom the state education department says don't speak English well enough. The Arizona Department of Education recently began telling school districts that teachers whose spoken English it deems to be heavily accented or ungrammatical must be removed from classes for students still learning English. State education officials say the move is intended to ensure that students with limited English have teachers who speak the language flawlessly. But some school principals and administrators say the department is imposing arbitrary fluency...

Posted by admin / Under Spanish Missions In California

The current edition of Gun Facts, the de facto desk reference for firearm policy, has been translated into Latin American Spanish and released on the Gun Facts web site at www.GunFacts.info. “Freedom is not negotiable,” said Guy Smith, author of Gun Facts. “This includes the human right of self-defense.

It is time for Gun Facts to help refute the anti-freedom factions in the South as it has in the North.” For more than a decade, Gun Facts has debunked common gun control myths. In 118...

Teenage Spanish matador kills 6 bulls By DANIEL WOOLLS Associated Press Writer CACERES, Spain (AP) - A 16-year-old Spanish matador killed six bulls in one afternoon Saturday, pulling off a feat normally attempted only by seasoned veterans and winning trophies for his skill—ears from animals he had just slain.

A tall and slender boy who is also amazingly articulate for his age, he showed off...

DEFEAT OFFERING IN-STATE TUITION TO UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS

Friday 30th of July 2010 09:40:20 AM
Posted by admin / Under Spanish Missions In California

As the Tennessee General Assembly debates education as a whole, it should be noted that offering in-state tuition is an unfair, unjust and incredulous smack in the face to the thousands of Tennessee college students who are American citizens and who are facing dropping out of college because of the tough economic times and the expense of rising college costs. Furthermore, the Assembly and Governor debate on the viability of transfer credits from a community college to a four-year Tennessee university for these same students so that their degree attainment is quicker and without delay.

Habla Ingles? Bill White, former Mayor of Houston and current front-runner for the Democratic Party heading into the Texas Governor's primary. was in Amarillo today. Education was the main topic.
