A partial translation of Colorado's guide for illegal aliens

An unverified partial translation is in post #10.

Just a few of them:

"There are various ways to send money to Mexico: electronic transfers, money orders, check or automatic deposit. There are various companies that transfer money electronically, such as Western Union." [p. 20. Included in the guide was a "sample budget" for Jose and Ana Maria which shows $200 per month allocated to "family in Mexico." )

"There are some clinics who serve people without insurance and without enough money to pay. It is important to bear in mind that you can apply for Medicaid or Child Health Plan Plus for your children if they were born here or are residents even if you are not a permanent resident." [p. 22-23]

[I guess they could be here on a guest visa... -- LW]

"Regardless of your economic or immigration status, you have the right to receive medical attention if you go to the ER." [p. 23]

"You can receive medical services at the community clinic closest to you. Doctors do not deport." [p. 22]

"Here, they feed [your children in school]...If your child's school does not have a program for students who are learning English, the district must provide transit services to a school that does. The fact that your children do not speak English should not be a reason for them to stay behind in their abilities or knowledge. Ask that your children be evaluated in Spanish..." pp 38-40

"Regardless of your immigration status, it is possible to go to the university. There are scholarships for Hispanics, legal or illegal aliens. The financial aid offices for colleges and universities can help students find the best options to pay, as well as to find and apply for these scholarships." [p. 41]
