Democrats Seeking Pell Grants for Inmates at the Expense of the Law Abiding

Red Statements ^ | May 23, 2015 | Steven Ahle 


Six democrats are seeking to grant Pell Grants to inmates in prison. 

They claim that it will make them desirable applicants to companies when they get out of prison. Hey liberals, believe it or not companies aren’t clamoring for graduates of Stu’s University online even if they haven’t knocked off a bank or raped small children. So, why would these cons be employable? Of course, if they were to take computer classes they might stop mugging senior citizens and join the growing identity theft industry.
It’s also important to know that there is not an endless pool of money in the Pell Grant program. Since the proposal covers all state and federal prisoners in the United States (332,000 in 2014) that could mean that a sizable portion of America’s youth, who never even considered knocking off a liquor store could be denied a Pell Grant, especially since we know liberals will give a preference to criminals. (Out of professional courtesy)
The liberals behind this brain storm are Rep. Donna Edwards, Reps. Danny Davis, Barbara Lee, Robert Scott, Rosa DeLauro, and Cedric Richmond. Edwards released the following statement:
“The REAL Act is about restoring education opportunities for our nation’s prisoners so they will have the opportunity to reintegrate as productive members of the community post-incarceration. We know that helping economically challenged individuals work toward post-secondary study and training provides a better future for all Americans. We should provide such opportunities to all to ensure that the cyclical process of repeat incarceration does not continue.”
When you consider that 755 of college graduates of STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering and Math) cannot find work. STEM students are not able to find work because politicians like Marco Rubio favors bringing in foreign workers to take those jobs. In fact, Rubio is currently sponsoring a bill to triple the amount of foreign workers allowed in the STEM field. These prisoners, even if they successfully pass courses in any field, they will find themselves competing against cheap illegal alien labor.
Soon, parents will be encouraging their children to steal their neighbor’s car so they too can get an education.
