[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the average DCUM poster illegal immigrants are great lower prices overall and cheap labor for you

Not to keep beating a dead horse but the reason Trump won again is illegal immigrants drove down and are continuing to drive down blue collar wages

And in some cases not all they are having negative effects by overwhelming schools by ESOL and other services and by sheer population.  You don't have to go far in Montgomery county or fairfax county to see the problems

And again the typical DCUM poster in Bethesda or other rich parts of these places doesn't see the issues first hand[/quote]

Can you back up your assertions with actual numbers, pleas. How many students in schools are undocumented. Also how many taxes are undocumented workers paying?  That would be helpful to know. Because you must be basing your post on actual numbers that you can cite. Otherwise why make those assertions. [/quote]

There have been 600 unaccompanied minors released in northern VA just this fiscal year with most of those dumped in Fairfax County. There are probably many many more who weren't caught at the border and show up at our schools. If your schools were impacted like some of ours you would understand. Our school is overflowing already and when you include kids who are way behind everyone else and don't speak a word of English, it slows down the entire class and negatively impacts everyone.

+ 1 The high school where my friend lives (in MoCo) is rated a 3. It's half Hispanic and very high ESOL and FARMS. Don't tell me these are legal American citizens. It's so bad that you can buy a 5-bedroom house in her neighborhood for the low $400s. [/quote]

Yeah MoCo went way down after Prince William County ran out illegal immigrants and a lot of them went to MoCo. It used to be one of the best school systems in the area but now their schools are in the toilet because of the influx of these kids. I've heard the graduation rate dropped pretty low too.

I wouldn't move there if you paid me[/quote]
Yes, I grew up there and went to the local public school. It was a middle to upper-middle class school, with parents who were mostly college graduates and very involved in their kids' educations. Now it's unrecognizable.[/quote]

Glad you’re no longer here.[/quote]

I'm sure PP is too![/quote]
You said it. Why would I want to live in an area that looks like a third-world country, 14-year-olds who should be in school hang out in McDonalds all day, and people don't even speak English? You think that's appealing, here in America?[/quote]

So happy you’re not my neighbor here in my beautiful street in MoCo. By the way my next door neighbor is an immigrant who has been here for 40 years and barely speaks English. Love her and her generosity and neighborliness.

She’s European, by the way. [/quote]
There are always exceptions. But parts of MoCo have gone downhill big-time because of the influx of illegal immigrants. Deny it all you want. [/quote]
