| When I was in mcps Hispanic were 10% of students now they are over half and given how welcoming the county is to illegals illegals are a very large percent of students |
How'd they get to over half the population? Is it because illegals flooded in or because non-Hispanics fled? |
thr county population has grown so illassume its from mostly illegals coming here. Anyone who is from here notices a huge difference |
I don't really get that at all. The Catholic Church faced some major backlash over the priest scandals. So many Catholics left the church. After any mass shooting, there are major calls to ban guns. Not sure where you get the impression that people only respond negatively to illegal immigration. |
Both. We have been at our MCPS ES for the past decade, with 3 kids. And, have seen it change. Several neighbors have left for Howard or Frederick or Loudon County. And, there has also been a huge influx of illegal immigrants into our neighborhood. At our schools, I'd say it's not exactly half illegal immigrant families, but definitely more than 25%. We're at a lower-income, nonW school, FWIW. It has definitely had a negative impact on the school, and we've watched it change first-hand. MoCo is very welcoming to illegal immigrants, so the community has grown. Also, FTR, we have illegal immigrants from all over. Definitely not just Mexico and South America. The lady who works at the Subway in our neighborhood is an illegal immigrant from South Asia. |
It was a take on the temperament of enthusiasts in this thread not a take on society as a whole. It's okay if you didn't get it feel free to move forward with the discussion. |
I went to magruder when it was 70% white. Now it is plurality Hispanic |
Why did the South Asian lady who works at Subway tell you she was illegal? |
| What’s the mentality illegals have? When I’m abroad I take extra precautions to not break any laws even though I don’t make it s habit to break laws. I’ve lived abroad and wouldn’t even drive after one drink just to be safe . Yet illegals come here and rape and steal, drive drunk etc like they have no fear of repercussions |

This x 1000000000000000000000 The PPs on here using these horrible crimes as a way to demonize all immigrants are awful, awful people. Anyone who commits a crime should be prosecuted for it. If the criminal is an illegal immigrant, fine, deport them. But stop using these cases to demonize lots of other people who don't deserve it. |
In MoCo, the mentality is that you've already broken the law, and gotten away with it. So, why can't you break other laws? You can work for cash. You can live in illegal apartments. Plus, the mentality also seems to be that you should be rewarded for being here illegally. Make sure you make the most of the opportunity - get the free health benefits, free education, free backpacks, free meals. The communities of illegal immigrants are very strong and they learn very quickly how to take advantage of all that MoCo has to offer. That's why they come here in droves. |
Written by the person who lives in a cluster that is still majority White. Where do your kids go to school? In many neighborhoods, the schools really have come to the point where the majority of students ARE from illegal immigrant families. Step out of your Potomac/Chevy Chase bubble and you'll see that not everyone has the luxury of wealth and privilege that you do. Also, I am incredibly doubtful that only less than 10% of rapes in MoCo are committed by illegal immigrants. That is nonsense. |
That's great. You should lobby our politicians for that. Make your voice heard. Currently MoCo politicians have explicitly stated that County Officials do NOT have to cooperate with ICE. How can we deport criminals if that is the policy? |
Better question: What's the mentality rapists have? It's not just illegals out here raping women. |
