[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Responding to a MoCo tax hike by complaining about immigrants is nonsensical. As if the County Council controls federal policy. MCPS has to play the demographic hand they're dealt.[/quote]

You know, if more localities complained to the federal government about the cost of supporting illegal immigrants, maybe, just MAYBE, they would start enforcing our laws. 
It is ridiculous.  I view this as an unfunded mandate by the feds. 
And, this is precisely why Trump is rising in the polls.  
A Clinton presidency will mean no illegal immigrants deported, which in turn, will mean more illegal immigration.  [/quote]

+1.  The cost of educating undocumented students need to be funded by the FEDS and sadly,  this is a trend that will not stop until we do something about illegal immigration. It is amazing that in our elem school (a FOCUS school I add), is seeing an increased number of hispanic ESOL students year after year. Classes are overcrowded, 5th graders are all in those lovely trailers, but yet they have decreased  school budgets and continue to deny requests to add additional classrooms and teachers. I know that this situation is not limited to our school and in fact is pervasive throughout the county. But wait, we live in liberal MOCO so the solution to everything is to hike up our taxes.  This my friends, is why I'm no longer voting DEM. [/quote]
