U.S. Spends $10.7 Mil To Train “Low Literacy” Latinos
With no end in sight to the devastating unemployment rate, the nation’s Department of Labor (DOL) is dedicating nearly $11 million to foreign-language programs that help workers with “low literacy or limited English proficiency.”
It marks the latest of many wasteful DOL initiatives aimed at helping Latinos (the feds’ code for illegal immigrants) working in the United States. Since President Obama appointed renowned open borders advocate Hilda Solis to head the agency, the former California congresswoman has dedicated vast resources to the cause.
It’s safe to bet this won’t be the last. The DOL has just given a list of “community groups,” labor unions, colleges and “joint labor/management associations” $10.7 million to provide hands-on safety training and educational programs for “vulnerable” workers that lack education and don’t speak English. The idea is to eliminate hazards in some of the most dangerous industries, according to Solis.
A quick glance of the grantee list reveals a common thread; all of them will provide training and materials in Spanish and at least one in Portuguese. Most will recruit “hard-to-reach workers” with “limited English” and “low literacy” in fields such as construction and manufacturing. A Washington D.C. environmental group will use its $48,000 grant to develop an online “hazard communications” for “weatherization professionals” in Spanish.
And now… the rest of the story. …..

Harold, today you hit me with all my pet issues. I have been writing Obama it makes no sense what he is saying about unemployment while at the same time welcoming more illiterate to be trained when we have our own who need re-training. In facts I told him “you sound a bit like a cat trying to grab his tail” Need to plug that hole.
Obama is not the Progressive Democrats, but he most deal with them, they messed up Obama original Health Plan and keep on helping the opposition their extremism.
with their extremism. My suggestion to all is to target the congress person not Obama who cannot pass the laws.
