I've read studies on both sides. I'm against illegal immigration. I have no issues with immigration, but the US really doesn't need millions of new citizens with no education.

Uncontrolled immigration of poor uneducated workers isn't bringing those in. It's as simple as that.

I also find it amusing that you think there's only one person who feels this way and posts.

If the US didn't need millions of new citizens with no education, they wouldn't be coming here, because there wouldn't be any jobs for them. Somebody is cleaning offices and picking tomatoes and mowing lawns, and it's not the best and the brightest.

(Have you read The Best And The Brightest, by the way? It's a book about how the brilliant whiz kids in the Kennedy Administration got us into the Vietnam War. You may want to reconsider your hiring decisions.)

Undocumented immigrants getting paid way below they are worth and millions of lazy Americans on government assistance claiming they can't get a job. It is just more people the government has to help. Send them packing and give the unemployed Americans their jobs. If they don't take them, they are cut off from assistance. Maybe it could help the deficit.

Yes, undocumented immigrants get paid very little. So let's raise the wages for the jobs they do to a level that people born in the US will accept as a fair and reasonable wage, and while we're at it, improve the working conditions as well. Of course, this will triple the price of everything. But you won't mind that, right?

Why are people against upholding the law? You really don't mind millions coming into the country? Our economy is in the toilet as it is.

If breaking a law makes you illegal, then I'm pretty sure you're illegal too. Because if you drive, then while driving, you have not come to a complete stop at a stop sign or a right turn on red, and you have driven faster than the speed limit, at least once. Why don't you uphold the law?

This is not even apples to apples. You can't compare this to running a stop sign. Ask this question- How much tax payer money is going into educating and supporting illegal immigrants?

Why isn't it apples to apples? What's the difference to you? If a law isn't being enforced, aren't the lawmakers the ones at fault?

I am wondering how you are determining the legal status of the minority members of the community. Just came back from a rec soccer game. Majority of the parents were speaking Spanish but we all were cheering and supporting our kids - one happy community- they won!

How much taxpayer money is going into enforcement of traffic laws? How much taxpayer money is going into dealing with the consequences of people breaking traffic laws?

The law is the law! Uphold the law!

Based on the speed camera tickets I get, I'm guessing traffic laws make the county money.

So, you're saying you want the county to enforce traffic laws as laxly as immigration laws?

"Illegal" immigration is a net benefit to our country. I care less about it than I do "illegal speeding". So, no, if they were complaining about any undocumented immigration, I'd think it was dumb and counterproductive. That it's so clearly based in racist fears is just the icing on the cake.

I've read studies on both sides. I'm against illegal immigration. I have no issues with immigration, but the US really doesn't need millions of new citizens with no education.

+1000. Legal immigrant here who moved to this country at the age of 9.

Agreed. Child of a legal immigrant who was separated from her mother while she legally waited to enter the country.

Send them the fuck home.

OP here, I'm against the poster who keeps posting the same ignorant racist comments on almost every school thread.
Immigration is a complicated issue, not one that can be dummied down to a simplistic "for" or "against" opinion.

[Anonymous]

Let me call you ignorant if you think a person is an illegal immigrant just because she/he speaks Spanish.

Can you just please start your own website, blog, kickstarter group to fund your campaign to kick the brown people out of MOCO.
Do whatever you have to but please, oh please -- JUST GET OFF OF THIS FORUM, THIS BOARD..matter of fact just get out of MOCO...because the rest of us are done with your ignorant, racist, tiring diatribe.

Just so that the illegals don't move into your neighborhood or overpopulate your school you are fine with it?

This thread doesn't seem to have much to do with Maryland Public Schools. Please discuss immigration in the Political Forum.
