[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think that allowing children of undocumented immigrants into public schools is putting an enormous strain on school systems (see MCPS) that they cannot and were not designed to handle, and I don't love that we are paying for ESOL, FARMS, etc. for children who aren't citizens or who aren't entitled to be in the country. But they're children who didn't have a choice to come here. It's pretty unconscionable to argue that they shouldn't be in school - what else should they be doing, once they're here? And if they aren't in school, that's going to create more issues - gang violence, another generation of a completely uneducated underclass, possibly illiterate adults, etc. What do we do about that?[/quote]

And, this is the dilemma.  (And, it is the law, as well, that we must (and I agree should) educate the kids.)

Unfortunately, our area is especially taxed by this. (FCPS certainly is.) Some of the people in other areas have no clue of how many undocumented, very poor kids are being poured into some school systems.

As for Pelosi and others saying that there are better ways to secure the border--what are they?

Technology may be useful--but it cannot prevent people from crossing.  It may find them, but it cannot stop them--I guess, unless we use tear gas or worse.  So, then BP finds them, takes them to a judge and they get a notice to appear which is ignored.  If they come with a child, they get a free pass.

Read the WAPO article today.  Smugglers are dropping hundreds off at a very remote outpost and the Dems are condemning our BP for not being prepared with medical help in the middle of the night when the outpost is supposed to be closed.  I'm guessing there are many places in North Dakota where American citizens are 90 minutes away from medical care, too.

Does anyone else have trouble with the fact that smugglers are making money by recruiting people to ask for asylum?
