Lt. Governor To Honor Framingham-Based ESL Program
At a press conference in Lynn this afternoon, Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray will honor MetroWest ESL Fund and 17 other organization for their efforts to help workers learn English, as part of the first statewide English Works Campaign Certificate of Recognition
Press Release from the Commonwealth:
Today, Sept. 22 Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray and the English Works campaign will join with Secretary of Labor Joanne Goldstein and others to honor 18 very different Massachusetts businesses for one common achievement — they all recognize the importance of helping their workers learn English.
One of the 18 to be honored is the MetroWest ESL Fund in Framingham.
Ranging from bread makers to health centers, from a candy company to a plastics factory, the businesses will receive the first statewide English Works Campaign Certificate of Recognition in a ceremony at the New American Center in Lynn today.
The award highlights the importance of immigrants to the Massachusetts economy, where one in six workers is foreign-born. It also raises awareness about the tremendous shortage of affordable, high quality English language instruction, but with a positive spin, demonstrating how businesses have become involved in creative private-public partnerships to solve the shortfall.

This is outrageous! I guess having mostly illegal aliens in the ESL program isn't an issue with these people. Imagine giving an award to a program that breaks Federal Immigration Laws by helping illegal aliens to learn English.
Next they will be giving awards to the illegal alien drug dealers because they are doing jobs that most Americans shy away from.
How anyone can condone this turning an blind eye to abetting illegal aliens is incredible!
Here is the law read it yourselves.

Aiding and abetting at it's finest.

Most of the cash made never sees Massachusetts.
They pay no taxes on a tax form unless the SS number is stolen.
They send the untaxed money back to their third world country.
What a joke.

I've never seem a more corrupt, happy to oblige all that is illegal activity, as our present form of State Govt. Framingham of course is right behind in it's support of all that is illegal too. Instead of residing at the State House these criminal politicians should be in the State prison with the rest of their buddies.
This is definitely case of the wolves taking over the hen house.
