These corrupt bastards need to be driven from our state or we will most certainly be kneeling before them someday too

Fillmore Unified has about 3,800 students and according to Dr. Alan Nishino the Interim Fillmore Superintendent of Schools (stated at the FUSD meeting Aug 16,2011), over 500 (about 13%) of the students are from migrant farm workers families. Which means it costs the taxpayer about $2,724,284 of the $28,694,259 FUSD yearly budget. That’s your tax money used to educate the migrant workers’ children here in Fillmore, a town with a population of 15,000 people. They don’t advertise the statistics. This is the secret the growers and the politicians who benefit from the growers donations don’t want the public to know about, the actual cost of their cheep labor to the public. How may heads of lettuce could you buy with that money? And this is just one small town, multiply this by the thousands of towns throughout the country.
