If you are voting for Trump based on immigration- why?

I'm a teacher. Do you honestly think a class in which 75% or more of the students are learning English as a second language doesn't impact the instructional pace? That's not a racist comment. It's a big challenge for the teachers and students.

I’m still appalled that teachers are supposed to deal with this. I subbed a few times in a school like this and was completely overwhelmed. No one was learning anything at all. It is so incredibly unfair to both teachers and students.

My wife is a school nurse.

They need to give combat pay for title one schools but there is no salary adjustment so everyone runs away from These schools .

But the liberal elites never show up. Or help. They just yell RACIST!

Can you let us know how Trump made your wife’s job easier? Did her salary decrease under Biden? Also, which GOP elites showed up to the school? Just curious.

Do you remember what Biden said and did regarding the border when he took office?

Are you joking? Is this satire? Because my kids deserve attention from the teacher who - through no fault of her own - is overwhelmed trying to teach and manage kids who speak no English.

Notice all the hand-wringing about "immigrants are flooding our schools and making our kids dumb" bullshit never gets into detail. It's all noise with no evidence.

You likely fall into one or more of these categories:
-- a college student
-- have no children
-- live in the northeast in a non-diverse area
--live in an expensive area with excellent public schools
--send your kids to private schools

Exactly. What a complete idiot.

I grew up in CA and they have been complaining about immigration for 45 years, even through GOP leadership. It’s a refrain there to be sure.

Gosh, I can’t imagine why… couldn’t possibly be because, you know, it’s a huge problem? Nah, that couldn’t be it.

Umm what voting demographic do you think a majority of teachers are. Most of us have a lot more empathy than your wife and the PP

You mean all those teachers that have finally quit because of this?

When Democrats were moderate supported US workers first!

1) this was 30 years ago. It’s ancient.

What? You must not have school age kids. The huge surge in ESOL kids in recent years is a major drain on most public schools in the area. It is driving how districts handle curriculum, how much funds there are for other kids, and in FCPS now considerations of redistricting. Schools are where the big negative impact of illegal immigration are shouldered.

Empathy? I'm the PP you referenced. I've spent my entire career teaching and evaluating kids in Title I schools in both rural and urban areas. I bet I've bought more school lunches, snacks, bookbags, and supplies for kids than you have, in addition to after-school free tutoring and supporting parents. What I've done is not unusual for any teacher, school nurse, social worker, administrator, etc in any school with kids who need assistance and caring support.

Trump doesn't go nearly far enough. The borders should be 100% closed to immigration for a decade or so, and many deportations need to happen during that time.
After a decade, then start merit based immigration only. That is the only fair and equitable immigration, when it is based on intellectual or job-related ability only. No "refugee" junk.

It is not “recent years”. South Arlington was like this 15 years ago. Arlington’s “immersion” school is set up to give ESL speakers a leg up as much as it is for English speakers to learn a second language.

The problem is this area. When you grow up along the border it is a much more seamless process. I had numerous classmates who only spoke Spanish at home. It didn’t slow things down because teachers were far better at managing the situation and many spoke Spanish or some Spanish. The rest of America just needs to catch up. Being monolingual as a teacher makes things much harder. Schools will catch up.

You don’t want any economic growth and are pro-inflation.
