Great perspective. |
Which school system in the area isn't overwhelmed with influx of new students? And BTW the vast majority of new students are here legally. |
Just like flight attendants tell passengers to put on their air mask before helping others, we need to do the same for our country. To preserve our American standard of living, which is the envy of much of the world, we have to control immigration and only let in those who will help make this country better. Otherwise, the US will become just like the 3rd world crapholes immigrants are escaping. Those with skills, not the world’s peasants, should be our immigration priority. Stop the policy of “family reunification” that JFK started. I’m liberal about many things, but immigration policy is not one of them. |
The problem is you don't lay out the welcome mat and create a magnet for these types of populations in the first place. This started over 30 years ago with lack of housing enforcement and turning a blind eye and now you have entire pyramids that are overrun. Classic case is Annandale HS which has gone from a great school to average to below average in less than 15 years Its basically too late at this point. Once the first generation comes everyone else follows suit once they come over Almost all the schools inside the beltway are overun at this point, the Route 1 corridor is the same, and Herndon has another cluster of failure Roughly 1/3 of Fairfax is elite at this point, the second 1/3 is fine, but the bottom 1/3 is a hellhole. If you look at the trend lines the problem is just getting worse. Part of the reason Loudoun keeps adding schools is the white flight out of FCPS. The elites living in the top 1/3 of Fairfax have no idea whats going on in the county and if things truely go south they can always go to private school. It's the middle 1/3 that has to deal with the consequences. |
+1 Wealthy people in both parties (Democrats and Republicans) send their kids to Private school or live in the area that are not affected by illegal immigration. It’s the Middle class that has to watch their schools deteriorate and watch while class sizes get larger as more and more money gets allocated to ESOL. |
You mean, what you perceive as "illegal immigration". Please provide some facts to support your "boogeyman" fantasy. |
I respect the low-income/ESOL families who move and try to improve their situation.
Lazy, entitled coal workers? Not so much. |
How many nations of the world would provide illegal immigrants with a free education, translation services/language lessons, free meals, subsidized housing, etc.?
I can’t think of any except the US. Man, we’re stupid. |

Numbers for everyone:
https://www.alexandriava.gov/uploadedFiles/dchs/adultservices/UndocumentedImmigrantsinVAandNOVA.pdf FAIRFAX LARGEST UNDOCUMENTED POPULATIONS El Salvador, Hondouras, Korea, Bolivia and Guatelmala POPULATION: 83,000 SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES FROM STATE FIGURES 96% of children 3 to 17 enrolled in school CENTRAL AMERICAN MINORS 205 were placed in Alexandria in 2014--13 in every 1,000 school children, the highest ratio of any jurisdiction in the country 1,023 were placed in Fairfax in 2014 http://www.pewhispanic.org/2016/09/20/2-state-unauthorized-immigrant-populations/ ![]() A variety of other countries dominate the unauthorized immigrant population in other states. El Salvador is the leading birth country in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. |
Whoops meant to say hybla valley and groveton down route 1 culmore is in baileys |
If anyone has a right to complain about this, it's Native Americans. You should just shut up with ignorant nonsense. |
So they are low-income and speak Spanish. WTF do you assume these people are illegal? |
Assuming those estimates are accurate: Out of the estimated 83,000 undocumented people living in Fairfax, 24% are children; and 93% of those are enrolled in schools. So 18,525 children out of 189,000 in FCPS; 9.8% undocumented. https://www.fcps.edu/about-fcps 17% ESOL 28% FARM 25% Hispanic So less than 1/2 of those people you despise are illegal. |
If they are legal, they should have no problem producing evidence of that, hmmm? Like a birth certificate or passport? |
