The difference is now we are dealing with Radical Islamic terror and unchecked immigration,

We've always had threats against this nation. Sorry if I have a hard time believing those threats are worse than the Soviet Union and Communism, or that Hillary would be any worse than Nixon.

How do you feel about 65,000 refugees coming in when the current system has proven faulty with people with active tb being admitted and not proven vetting system. How about immigration and illegal immigration being referred to as the same - meaning if you speak out against illegal immigration you are labeled anti-immigration.

Refugees are different from the economic migrants crowding into Europe and illegal immigrants. It is abhorrent that we simply sit by while these people suffer.

Also, newsflash, it is not 1910, TB can be treated. Get a life, pp.

It's not about TB. It's about overcrowding in schools that already face enough obstacles. The higher-ranked schools won't be seeing refugees anytime soon. I lived through that period a few years ago when our school - 75% FARMs- absorbed "only" 40 kids. We had to hire another teacher (who was terrible) and then all hell broke loose with rival gang activity.

It's so easy to say, "Let's take everyone in." But unless you're the one dealing with the kids and knowing that YOUR school is the one who will suffer in program cuts b/c allocations are shifted from one area to another, don't pretend to talk FOR me.

YOU need to grow up b/c you clearly don't understand life.

It's not all about kumbaya and peaches and ice cream, you moron.

Save your insults for your real life friends and family, pp.

Refugees are deliberately placed and assisted and funded. You are confusing immigration and overcrowding and refugees.

Also, Syrians are not going to join MS-13. Good grief.

Maybe you would be less anxious and upset if you were more informed.

Personally, I feel that Hillary is a political animal. She eats, sleeps, and breathes Washinton politics. She is calculated, mechanical, and everything she does is premeditated. She has spent so long in the political spotlight that she probably can't remember what it is to be candid. But, I think she's intelligent, driven, "a fighter" (to quote her opponent), and when you look at her history of public service, she wants to serve the people. She is well-versed in presidential politics, and I choose to view that as a good thing: there won't be any learning curve for her figure out some way, any way, to try to work WITH the other party. In short, while I don't feel much connection to her, I feel her drawbacks (DC insider who rubs elbows with big-shots, using a personal server to evade scrutiny, being married to an unfaithful two-term pres...) won't impact me, the "little guy", in an adverse way. On the other hand, an untested, former reality star who made his mark in real estate, casinos, and branding--with his own questionable personality quirks--kind of embarrasses me. Oddly enough, I feel that had greater potential to impact my life.

What am I not seeing?

Personally, I feel Clinton is a disgusting animal, period. He eats, sleeps, and breathes greed and misogny. He is calculated, mechanical, and everything he does is in his own interest without exception.

"Quirks" is not quite the way I would describe Trump's narcissistic, unpredictable, and downright dangerous personality.

Exactly they are "funded" by whom? Us! Funding refugees when our own vets are homeless. Help them there we don't need to bring them here where they don't want to assimilate, cost us money, may bring tb (fact numerous refugees came with tb).

PP here. That should be Trump, not Clinton. Nope, it wasn't a Freudian slip, LOL! Okay, I opened the door for the crazy Trumpsters.

But Hillary never lied to me personally, never stole anything from me personally, and frankly, I think she looks very presidential: about as buttoned-up, conservative, and well-coiffed as a physical representative of our country should look.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, has offended me personally (child of immigrants here), and I find his demeanor and his business background (casinos, steaks, cheap ties and a bogus university) embarrassing. And if he can implore the crowd to assess his alleged sexual abuse victims appearance, then I can do the same to him: He's kind of gross (and the sniffling doesn't help).

To me, it's not about looks or what offends me PERSONALLY. (geez....selfish much?) It is about which policies are better for the country, and there is no question in my mind that Trump is right - while Hillary will turn us into another failed socialist country. We simply cannot afford to throw open our borders and support all the poor, uneducated people of the world. The Lazarus poem says "give me your poor, your hungry" - true - but it does not go on to say "and America will bankrupt the middle class in order to provide them housing, food, medical care, and spending money." All we owe is an opportunity for those who come here legally.

You can't have it both ways. According to the Trump supporters she is connected to all the evil capitalists or she's a socialist. Last I looked, she's for a free market. Illegal immigration is not that big a deal given how large a country we are. And most "illegal" immigration are people who overstay their visas, but eventually go home. As for refugees, we took 80,000 total this year from all parts of the globe. Including 4000 from Europe and 25,000 from Africa and 13,000 from East Asia. We help launch them with a start, but then they have to get going on their own with help from churches and community groups. Germany took in 800,000.

Trump has a limited set of policies. End trade agreements. (Yeah, right.) Bring jobs home again. (What incentives?) Build a wall. (Got a plan for the tunnels and the smuggling cartels?) Take care of veterans. (How?) Take care of ISIS. (Know more than the generals?) His proxies keep saying he will do things and then he contradicts them with his own words. Many people ascribe policy choices to him, but he himself doesn't seem to agree with what has been said in his name. People project their views onto him, because they heard some little thing they agree with.

Stupid is forever stupid, PP.

The experiences that are affecting schools that are already in trouble may not all result in gang violence. However, the overcrowding and higher rates of poverty and transience and absenteeism and - (Should I go on??) will ultimately affect quality of instruction.

You're a moron if you can't see that. But why am I arguing with you? Those informed folks are dealing with it. The uniformed and ignorant just read about it while sipping their lattes.

My kids are at an extremely diverse and yes overcrowded school with a high FARMs rate. I'm happy that they are going to school with kids from all over the world, with many languages spoken and many religions observed. I think the knowledge of the world my kids are gaining from their classmates will more than make up for any effects of overcrowding and help them get along with every type of person once they are in the workforce. Education doesn't get any richer than this.
