Arizonans Will Read This And Think New York Taxpayers Are All A Bunch Of Suckers
The government of Mexico is outsourcing the education of its citizens to the CUNY system:
New York City College of Technology in Brooklyn has launched a free pilot program that aims to get Mexican restaurant workers to go back to school, even if they’re undocumented.
“For me, it’s going to open a lot of doors,” said Salvador, a 45-year-old busboy from Mexico City who illegally moved to the city nine years ago.
. . .
The first class at the CUNY branch started in February. It gives bussers, line cooks and other restaurant staffers — some of whom dropped out decades ago — 15 weeks of hospitality management training combined with English and math.
. . .
Students end up with a City Tech certificate that’s also recognized in Mexico. CUNY officials said the program, funded by a $100,000 grant from the Mexican government, is likely the first of its kind in the country.
Though many city agencies, such as public schools and hospitals, are required to provide services for immigrants regardless of status, the CUNY program goes further and actively courts even illegal immigrants.
More Daily News articles like this and we’ll probably get the same kind of wack legislation the Arizona State Legislature likes to try . . .
