The dirty little secret is that a lot of those so-called "Stuff the Bus" programs just like the "School Lunch" programs are  actually designed to go for illegal immigrant children where the parents should NOT be in the United States in the first place, and literally cannot afford to feed their children or get them school supplies.  In addition, through our taxes we end up paying the education for illegal immigrant children nonetheless, and this additional burden forces school cutbacks where its our American children that lose out in their education.    Most Americans can feed their children and get school supplies just fine.  Even families on welfare can afford it, so again the scam goes a lot deeper than what most people realize.  What got my blood boiling was when in my community local politicians were pushing the "School Lunch Program" beyond its mandate to feed children on the WEEKENDS.  What??? That is when I got suspicious, feeding kids when they are not attending regular classes on a weekday?  I did not believe that parents in my community could not afford to feed their kids.  I had to really dig deep and learned that it was really a plan to help out children of illegal immigrants and these programs had nothing to do with United States citizens with kids attending the local schools. Many parents demanded to know why we were not told this in the first place.  Well it was obvious that it was a ruse and a coverup to keep us in the dark. As a taxpayer, I refuse to be an enabler of law breaking ILLEGAL immigration and these programs do just that. The school board officials refused to comment, they got caught as supporters of illegal immigration and this is not over.
