Eh, I voted Dem up until this election. I’m sick of the leftist school board and my compassion well has run dry. It’s been used up on all the F’ing equity bs.

You’re talking about detaining and deporting children from the only homes they’ve known. Respectfully, I don’t think this was a particularly deep well at the outset.

Nah, they can all go together.

Yeah? We can deport U.S. citizens with their non-citizen family members? What a great insight into the depths of your “compassion”

If the parents committed the crime of entering illegally and have a child who is a citizen, the compassionate thing to do is to pay for the child to be transported with the parents and keep the family together.

Americans who commit crimes go to jail, whether they have children or not and no one cries about "don't separate the family!"

In the case that their citizen children have other family who are citizens willing to care for them, that is an option the parents can use. That's what happens to Americans. They commit crimes and their children go to aunt, grandpa, or cousin if both parents are jailed. We don't allow them to remain free and untouched because they have children.

And if the children aren’t legal citizens of the first country, having been born in the United States? You think the U.S. should pay for individuals to commit crimes?

Look, when you guys were talking about people committing crimes, I had sympathy for your views. If you were talking about the appalling conditions in meat packing factories which are allowed to persist because undocumented workers don’t have recourse to complain about them, I’d think you had a really good point.

But you’re talking about ripping kids out of classrooms and putting them in detention centers. I hope your children are proud of you.

We're not making that choice. The parents made that choice when they came here. They can return to their home country at any time and attempt return legally.

See this is MAGA~no empathy, no kindness...just a lot of hate and greed. Jesus would be so proud

What greed? What hate?

Expecting laws to be followed is showing lack of empathy? You sound unhinged.

Expecting infants or toddlers to “obey laws” is what’s unhinged. That’s who is in schools with your kids now. Not people who knowingly broke any laws coming here. That’s who you’re being asked to show empathy for.

We can be empathetic, but we don’t need to reward the parents for illegal behavior because they have children. They can be deported with the parents.

You can? There’s no evidence of it here. You don’t want to target criminals, agribusinesses, not even gangs. This thread is about wanting people who had no say in coming here dragged out of your child’s classrooms and detained and deported. Truly I hope you’re either a bot or deeply ashamed.

DP. What? That's exactly what we all want - anyone with a shred of common sense, that is. What are you even talking about?

Here you are on the **Fairfax County Public Schools** board talking about the impact on test scores and teacher attention of taking kids out of their classrooms and throwing them in detention centers.

You want to target illegal immigration? Your perpetrators are Tyson’s and Purude, who not only employ undocumented workers, let children as young as 13 work in conditions so bad they result in the loss of limbs, which of course is totally illegal but what is an undocumented kid supposed to say about it.

But I bet you would be thrilled to have the CEO of Tyson’s invite your kid over.

You must be unaware of the gangs that have infiltrated Fairfax county and surrounding areas.

But here you are arguing to keep them here because they procreated.

I’ve lived in Fairfax under three presidents and every time heard how there’s a horrible gang problem and never once heard a suggestion that deporting children would help.

So you are suggesting that we separate the American born children of these gang members from their parents? Or should they stay together in the parents home country? Won't our kids shun us for ripping their friends out of the classroom??

Maybe the immediate post is partly in jest.. But no, your kids won't "shun" you. Perhaps you could use it as a teaching moment to encourage your own kids to know and obey the laws they live under. Put another way: the American-born children of these 'gang members" should not be used as anchor babies to keep their criminal parents in our country. They could bring their kids to their own country, which might be better for all concerned. If they go to jail for their crimes here, we end up paying for both the incarceration of the parents and the basic needs of the children. By the way, children of US-born criminals get separated from their parents too; it's an unfortunate part of the criminal lifestyle.

Don’t kid yourself. If large-scale mass deportation did happen (and it won’t because the people benefiting from undocumented workers are wealthy donors not MC suburban internet warriors) it would be a generational event and the children of those who supported it would view their parents the way children looked at parents who participated in other atrocities.

This definitely won't happen.

+ 1 Also, I would have a much harder time explaining to my kids if one of them was criminally victimized by an undocumented immigrant. https://www.nbcnews.com/investigations/13000-immigrants-convicted-homicide-living-freely-us-ice-data-rcna173125. That's would be tough.

As to the rest, we can explain why people here illegally to begin with went home (or were deported if it comes to that). Not sure why so many on DCUM are on the aide of the rule breakers. We have a country; it needs a secure border. We have labor needs; we need to have problems to meet those as well, but lawfully. I don't disagree with those who believe employers should be on the hook as well, but sometimes immigrants present fake documents.

I think some people are against anything and everything Trump supports. The problem is they are often against something but not for anything else, which is why they lost the election.

Immigration was one of the top three issues based on the postmortem analysis. Democrats are just on the wrong side of this issue. Before the election most also said they wanted people here illegally deported and it they voted accordingly.

Chamber of Commerce propaganda. American men will work in construction.

They don’t now. Why do you think that’s likely to change?

Americans have been blocked from employment in construction for a long time in favor of immigrants. And then they turn around and cry about losing a chunk of their workforce if there are immigration raids. Cry harder. They have put this narrative out for years while being the main manipulators behind the scenes to make it so that illegal immigrants make up a significant part of the workforce.

"The high rates of displacement and discouragement stem from a history of union racism and contractor preference for immigrants. As such, the racial demographic in the construction industry is now 60 percent white, 30 percent Hispanic, and 5 percent Black American, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics."
https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/4559922-race-the-construction-industry-and-the-francis-scott-key-bridge/

That doesn’t at all answer the question of why American men don’t presently work in construction. 4% of men over 20 are unemployed— what keeps them from working construction?

Working in an industry that destroys your body so you’re disabled by the age of 50—doesn’t sound very good for the same wage teenagers can make working at a McDonalds.

If the job is awful/conditions are awful/dangerous/physically taxing—the pay should reflect that. It doesn’t because of immigration.

I sure heard a lot of fear mongering about Florida’s e-verify bill and the corresponding “fear” from employers and fear-mongering about higher prices. But what happened? Nothing out of the ordinary except less burden on local taxpayers who suddenly didn’t have to pay to support migrants.

Sure hear the “agribusiness will never let it happen, the GOP is controlled by these people so they’Ll never actually do anything about the root cause which is employers”

Well, they did in Florida. And yeah there was pushback by farmers but they still passed the bill..and… did the world end?… no.

Even though the state of Virginia is NOT a sanctuary state, the Democrats who run Fairfax made our county exactly that:

“In January 2021, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors adopted the Public Trust and Confidentiality Policy, known as “the Trust Policy,”  to “reaffirm current county policy and improve community health, welfare, safety, security, and trust by ensuring that immigrant residents can access county services without fear that the information they share will be disclosed to federal immigration officials,” according to the county’s official website.” Retrieved from:
https://www.fairfaxtimes.com/articles/fairfax_county/recent-crimes-again-raise-concerns-about-county-s-sanctuary-policy/article_237e17fc-5b3a-11ef-b659-d368a63c62b7.html

As a result of this change, massive illegal migration has been drawn to our county, flooding our resources and overcrowding our schools, all at the taxpayer expense. FCPS provides a list of some of these resources in its website:
https://www.fcps.edu/services/community-healthcare-resources

Prioritizing the needs of illegal immigrants over those of Fairfax residents is unacceptable. Taxpayers shouldn’t have to be required to drive around town in a medical emergency to locate a hospital whose ER can admit them because most of them are already full to capacity.

Contrary to some previous comments, recent illegal immigration doesn’t contribute to the county’s revenue, as most of these newcomers don’t generate any income, nor pay any taxes. And why should they, because additional to receiving free housing, medical care, and food stamps, they also receive large amounts of cash. We don’t need a Finance degree to understand who is footing the bill for all of this, or why our schools are overcrowded.

At this point, not even the most progressive virtual signaling crowd can justify this disparity. And, to the taxpayers who have had enough, watching our school Superintendent receive a salary increase that is close to a teacher’s starting salary, paired with the irresponsible spending on pet projects of our school board, January 20th couldn’t come soon enough.

This.

So many people on here claiming we will lose necessary workers working jobs Americans won’t do.

I don’t care. Millions of people coming to the US who are POOR, bring no assets and use our healthcare, schools and infrastructure are way more of a strain than the construction industry losing workers.

I want them all kicked out.

Yes! The ER waiting rooms are packed to capacity now; it's completely unacceptable.

I am very disappointed that Youngkin didn't do anything at the state level to address all these issues listed above. I hope his political career is over once his term ends.

The longest we have had to wait at Inova Reston ER is 10 minutes. They have a sign at the street you turn in on off of Fairfax Park Way that shows you the wait time, the longest I have seen it is 30 minutes. I am not sure where these jammed ERs are but not in the Herndon/Reston area.

Well on the other side of the county it is always packed. We once waited 2 hours. Not only is the waiting room packed but the hallways of the ER are lined with beds. I'm sure the rest of us picked up their bill too.

Who cares? Illegal immigrants shouldn’t be receiving free medical care in the US

GTFO with your pro illegal immigration stance.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2ld7r4432o

BBC article on why so many Indians are crossing into the US illegally. The article points out that Indian immigrants are the third largest group coming into the US with 170,000 detained since 2020. Most come in through the Canadian border, which is less protected and with fewer criminal groups. The Indian population heads to the big cities to find jobs in there and not into rural communities.

I figured I would post on a non-Hispanic population that has a high number of people attempting to cross into the US illegally. The article discusses the economic reasons, economic hardship, and a fear of a potential conflict in India. Most of the people coming to the US from India have completed HS and are looking for better jobs in the US then they can find in India.

Contrary to some previous comments, recent illegal immigration doesn’t contribute to the county’s revenue, as most of these newcomers don’t generate any income, nor pay any taxes. And why should they, because additional to receiving free housing, medical care, and food stamps, they also receive large amounts of cash. We don’t need a Finance degree to understand who is footing the bill for all of this, or why our schools are overcrowded.

At this point, not even the most progressive virtual signaling crowd can justify this disparity. And, to the taxpayers who have had enough, watching our school Superintendent receive a salary increase that is close to a teacher’s starting salary, paired with the irresponsible spending on pet projects of our school board, January 20th couldn’t come soon enough.

Yes! The ER waiting rooms are packed to capacity now; it's completely unacceptable.

I am very disappointed that Youngkin didn't do anything at the state level to address all these issues listed above. I hope his political career is over once his term ends.

Don’t blame it on Youngkin. Blamed the Dems who managed to block all of his initiatives.

The Fairfax County School Board is entirely dominated by left-leaning Democrats, with every member endorsed by the Fairfax County Democratic Committee and not a single Republican endorsement. This one-sided political makeup has contributed to the district's ongoing issues, as partisan policies take precedence over addressing the real needs of students and families. The current board members are:

- At-Large Members:
- Ryan McElveen
- Ilryong Moon
- Kyle McDaniel

- District Representatives:
- Braddock District: Rachna Sizemore Heizer
- Dranesville District: Robyn Lady
- Franconia District: Marcia St. John-Cunning
- Hunter Mill District: Melanie Meren
- Mason District: Ricardy Anderson
- Mount Vernon District: Mateo Dunne
- Providence District: Karl Frisch
- Springfield District: Sandy Anderson
- Sully District: Seema Dixit

This lack of balance in leadership reflects a partisan approach that has left Fairfax County Public Schools struggling year after year.

12 random people could do better than this bag of nuts.

Actually, Illrong Moon seems to have some common sense, so he can stay. The rest can go and will neve be missed.

What legislation has he proposed? Maybe I missed it but all I've seen him do is posture about how bad Harris is on the issue which is true but that's all talk. Kicking noncitizens off the voting rolls is a non-issue. That was never found to be a problem in VA.
