The leftist/Marxist agenda of the teachers unions has screwed up education. Ever since Jimmy Carter instituted the Department of Education, the quality has gone downhill since.

I am not sure what you are referring to if you could explain. Former President Carter split The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services by the Department of Education Organization Act. He continually advocated to expand funding for free public schools. The No Child Left Behind Act essentially monetized each child despite hopefully good policy intentions.

Didn't you claim to be Cuban, immigrated to the US?

Your post is unintentionally ironic, albeit correct, given that you got all your education payed for by taxpayers, regardless the cost, then grants to start your own business, interest free loans (in effect, a grant) to buy a home, etc...

Long time VagabondSouffle. I came from Cuba, but government did not pay for my education. I am not an "African American" who can claim free college money based on my skin color, victimhood status, or ethnic background. Nice try VagabondSouffle.

The Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 fast tracked resident status for any Cuban that got to the USA. One year and a day, Green Card. Free Housing (was 24 months till the early 90s, then 18), free education at whatever school of choice, incl college, job training, grants, interest free loans, etc - by the early 90s (when I first heard of this), the US Gov't had given over 5 billion dollars in Cubans - more than ALL Hispanics in the US at the time COMBINED, including 10 million of Mexicans and 6 million Puerto Ricans, and a couple of million others.

In 1995, it was modified into the Wet Foot/Dry Foot Policy in response to the Mariel Boat Lift innundation - those who made it to dry land, stayed, those caught in boats got turned back.

In 2017, the Obama ended the Wet foot/Dry Foot Policy as normalization with relations with Cuba began, and also because other imigrant groups have complained for years about the unfair program.
(Koreans and those from Soviet/Eastern Block countries also got similar Feet on Ground special treatment)

Doubtful that even if you got here after 2017 you were totally oblivious to the program as it was a BIG incentive to get here. And you joined this site in 2016, so I doubt Castro allowed you to, especially since internet access in Cuba at the time was zero.
Oh, but that's right, you said you went from Cuba to Venezuala to Panama and wended your way north from there, because it was a heckuva lot shorter than 93 miles to Florida, right?

btw, the wave of Cubans that came fleeing immediatly the revolution were richer 'Whites,' Marielers and those afterward were poorer, of mixed racial/ethnic background, AKA Creolas. Being a second-waver, that would mean most likely you'd fall under Afro-Cuban, and/or with some Taino coursing through your veins as well.

Regardless, Hispanic-Americans are eligible for the same exact educational assistance as African-Americans (as others), and as them, this depending on economic status/need.

That you claim to have immigrated here and yet have never heard of all this is rather suspect.

Aww. I see what your problem is. You have been misinformed. All the Cuban adjustment act does is give Cubans instant residency and residency benefits upon arriving in the USA. It does not give them free housing or free college education. So technically, a cuban entering the USA was welcomed and never considered illegal immigrants. After all, they had superior education and built up out of the swap in Florida the great cities it currently has. The #1 tourist state. It was beneficial to the USA to let them in. You are just poorly informed VagabonSouffle, poor you. I never received free housing or free education. I am curious: What's your ethnicity?

tl;dr

Lookie that,, three days later and you're now suddenly are all up in the know about something you've been claiming since last year did not exist. Something I've known about decades before you were even born. Isn't that precious!

Thanks for playing!

Knew what was unconstitutional? I’m seeing the meme out of context. What are the specific obligations, restrictions and responsibilities of each separate branch including the same as above with respect to concurrent jurisdiction with federal branches and ststes.
