Obama Spends $25 Million To Prevent Illegal Immigrants’ Kids From Getting Fat

Law-abiding politicians would deport illegal immigrants; the Obama administration spends scarce tax dollars assuring their well-being. Judicial Watch reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a ground-breaking new program to stamp out childhood obesity — among the children of illegals. (Apparently Americans aren’t the only ones who have “gotten a little soft.”) “Like all other child obesity war programs launched by the Obama Administration this one will target poor ethnic minorities,” writes Judicial Watch. But this program will serve “limited English” communities:

[T]he CDC will spend $25 million on “innovative approaches” to reach low–income and minority families in a quest to wipe out childhood obesity. This, in turn, will prevent the onset of many diseases associated with fat kids, including type two diabetes, asthma, and heart disease.

The “innovative approaches” include combining changes in medical care with “supportive changes” in schools, child care centers and community venues such as retail food stores and parks, according to the CDC’s announcement. Additionally, health workers will provide a bridge between families and community resources to better inform and educate hard-to-reach, limited English proficiency and minority communities about disease prevention, health insurance opportunities and disease management.

The money will spent in three states: California, Texas, and Massachusetts, where members of Obama’s own illegal alien family live.

Michelle Obama, the president’s bitter half, has repeatedly blamed white racism for the pandemic of overfed minority children.

Obama’s U.S. Dept. of Agriculture has already spent $2 million installing cameras in Texas school lunch rooms to document the foods minority children eat. The “very sophisticated” spy cams photograph students’ trays before and after lunch, then an associated software program calculates the total number of calories each child consumed.

This administration has been particularly solicitous to those who barely speak the language. The Labor Department, headed by Hilda Solis, spent $10.7 million to provide safety training to “low literacy or limited English proficiency.”

The program’s wording proves the Obama administration is explicitly catering to first generation immigrants, most of them poorly educated and in this country illegally. Richard Alba of the University of Albany’s Mumford Center claims limited English is largely confined to first generation immigrants, and the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) reports 67 percent of Hispanics without a high school diploma do not speak English at all. According to Alba, Hispanics are more likely to resist speaking English than previous generations of immigrants, but most learn the language within a generation of exposure. Obama’s exclusive focus on non-English speakers means he is intentionally spending American tax dollars on a program that disproportionately aids non-citizens.

Why has the president graciously deigned to send your taxes to those who have no right to be in the county? Because Hispanics are one of the few demographics left that still favors his reelection. Securing the Hispanic vote, which breaks at least two-to-one for Democrats, is pivotal to 2012. First-generation immigrants, including illegal immigrants, have involved themselves in national political races such as Patty Murray’s razor-thin Senate race. It is hardly an exaggeration to say amnesty is Obama’s 2012 election plan. Until he can find a way to legalize millions of new wards of the state/Democratic voters, American taxpayers have the privilege of footing the bill for the services he has chosen to render to his future constituents.
