“Our President has told us that it will take a bold, unprecedented approach and requires all of us to turn the economy around. This is our audacious plan! We are appealing to the good people of Palm Beach County to create a temporary job, fill it with a LWRC jobseeker and provide short-term relief to struggling friends and neighbors” said Lisa Wilson.I know. You have heard this all before and you are probably saying, “Not again.” However, as we all know, the Illegal Hiring Hall was opened at our Shuffleboard Court, displacing the senior citizens there. It is costing the legal residents of this city for the upkeep of the building and illegal immigration is costing society, as a whole, billions of dollars a year. The city recently authorized improvements to the building which included a new roof and new driveway that have now been completed as well as insurance, general maintenance, and the like. In other words, we pay for it all. The Mentoring Center gets our building for $1.00 a year. I just can’t emphasize this enough.
We can’t afford a trolley so that our seniors can get to the grocery store but we can afford a labor center to help illegals find jobs and play on computers. Because of budget problems, we stop the concerts in our Bryant Park that were always attended by Seniors and families but we encourage illegals to come to our city, which, as everyone alive knows, costs the legal residents plenty. We allow kids to tear up our Bryant Park playing soccer and not worry about a $50,000 price tag to replace the grass. We don’t worry about our Park being trampled but we are willing to spend tax dollars on an illegal act.
The Mentoring Center is a “do-gooder” organization funded by tax dollars wherever it can find the money. If there is Federal, State or local funding, these groups pop up. Here in Lake Worth there was a need to drive the illegals off the streets and educate them on our culture. While 53.8% of the mentoring centers were scaling back because of lack of funding, the Stimulus Plan came along…just up their alley. The government, because the situation was allowed to get out of control, is not immune to aiding illegals. Businesses are perpetuating this crime and exploiting the illegal worker and our government is spending and estimated $11 to $22 billion a year on welfare to illegals.
Now the Director at The Mentoring Center had the audacity to quote Barack Obama who said during the campaign that we needed a major immigration policy overhaul. He called the current immigration system “dysfunctional.” He said that our borders should be more secure and the government should get tough with employers who hire the illegals. He called for a system that requires illegals that are in good standing, to pay a fine, learn our language and go to the end of the line to become a citizen here. That to me is more than fair. But no, these illegals scream bloody murder that they have rights, the same as legal citizens of the Untied States. The Open Border people right here in our own city agree. How can a criminal have rights?Lisa Wilson encourages illegal behavior and without our city management allowing her to do so, the Mentoring Center for illegals would cease to exist here. "It's going to help the community, help the recently arrived refugees and immigrants integrate into the community,” said Lisa Wilson, who runs the center’s mentoring program, “We're going to provide services that will help them become more economically self-sufficient."
What about giving them some instructions on how to come here legally, instructions on ceasing to defecate on our property in and around the Shuffleboard Court. That would be a great help. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that’s two and a half times that of non-illegal aliens. We spend a whopping $338.3 billion a year on illegal immigration across our country. And we think Bernie is bad! Bottom line--The government is committing a crime against the citizens of this country.
I wasn’t even going to write this because it is at the point where we all have just given up and resigned ourselves to the fact that this is the way it will be whether we agree or not. We are so used to seeing them loitering on Lake and Lucerne that we throw our hands up in despair. We continue to deal with them on our streets and some situations are out of hand. Some neighborhoods are totally fed up and have been consumed by illegals and witness crimes daily. However, I wrote on this again because I believe strongly in legal immigration and the proper way to enter our county and assimilate, becoming a productive legal resident and eventual citizen.
A crime is a crime no matter who is committing it. And that goes for The City of Lake Worth.
