Letters to the editorial and more

Hi JIFM,- what's going on?

I know, one more week, i think the weekend wasn't long enough, but we got one more letter that is going to the editorial this week. This is Summer's letter below, she emailed it to us. If you wanna do the same for others to read them submit it to us : jifmuhcentral@gmail.com

The stories/ letters would ideally be submitted this week early so that they can publish something ideally Tuesday or Thursday, the days when more students are on campus, lets strategize guys!

Also, Dos Centavos blog posted more information about the dude that paid the hateful ad in the daily cougar, take a look at what Dos Centavos tells us: http://dos-centavos.blogspot.com/2005/11/preston-wiginton.html

Thanks Tacho!

I am outraged at the fact the daily cougar published such an incorrect and disrespectful article about HB1403 students. People who benefit under the HB1403 are not simply illegals. We are Americans. We came to America when we were young, we grew up in America.

We are educated under the same system as every American out there. We gather and fight for our rights even if we are labeled as ¡§illegals¡¨. We are Americans in every sense of the word except the approval of the government. Therewere numerous inaccuracies in that article.

First of all, most people who qualify under the HB1403 do not qualify for government aid and grants.

The same people who qualify for HB1403 cannot work legally even if they get their degrees after college. HB1430 cannot take jobs away in the fields of Engineering and Medicine because they simply will not be hired. We are not taking taxpayer¡¦money by attending school, we pay our own tuition. No one should be denied a chance of education.

What is the meaning of being an American? The meaning of being an American is to have an opportunity for the pursuit of a better life, a better future. HB1403 students are not illegals, we are people who are fighting for a better future just like you. We
are the people who are studying hard in the library, the girl who is sitting next to you in math class. Therefore, I am not only outraged, but also disappointed at the fact that the Daily Cougar would allow such an article to be published.
