Agricultural Industries Transportation Services

[Jeanfromfillmore]

I couldn’t believe what I heard at the city council meeting last night. The taxpayers are paying for illegals to have their own transportation system. Federal grants were given to supply large vans that the illegals drive (if they can supply a drivers license, which some manage to get) and the illegals only pay for the mileage. The program is called Kart Farmworkers Project, Agricultural Industries Transportation Services. Their site is a PDF but quite interesting. Is there anything that the taxpayer isn’t paying for when it comes to illegals? We pay for their housing, child care, medical, legal, food stamps, wic and every other possible cost of having them here. But now we supply them with their own private transportation.

A description of the van is: All vans are late-model GMC Savanas 15 passenger equipped with air conditioning and CD players.Vans for agricultural workers are also equipped with water receivers, trailer hitch, fire extinguishers and first aid kits. They include 24-7 road side assistance, gas and maintenance, no credit check is required and $10 million in liability insurance. How's that for a perk?
