[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the solution would be to enforce our federal laws and [b]deport the families[/b]. Flame away but the problem will never ever get better. It won't even stay the same. It will only get worse and worse. I get the empathy but the fact remains. Our borders are basically open, the article about Montgomery County, MD being the #2 place to live for illegals is very scary. Our test scores go down, ratios get higher, we can never estimate the # incoming kids with thousands of illegal immigrants coming yearly and the schools are overcrowded. Public services on the school budget (Farms/ESL) take up billions of dollars each year. Money needed to build new schools, recruit better teachers. Money that the county will never get if our path continues this way.  Private and Parochial schools have massive wait lists. People are fed up. Schools try to help assimilate and it does not work.

Including the American born sons and daughters? Does that make sense in the long-run when those young people are U.S. citizens who can legally return at age 18 to work here anyway? I'd think it's best to educate them so that they will be productive members of our society in 10 to 15 years.[/quote]

But the cycle will forever continue and our budget is not going towards educating legal law abiding citizens. Too much money is placed from a school budget to help them just make it they the day. They work measly jobs under the table so our wealthy can get richer.  We can not continue to be an open refugee. Will there ever not be a line in the sand? We've gone too far. It is too expensive. Our country is in trillions of dollars in debt.  Rich don't pay taxes, lower class don't pay taxes. Middle class is dying because of it. Shrinking each year. We can't continue to take on the burden of millions of poor people who want a better life. It is sad but there is a legal process to follow and it is embarrassing that our country does not follow it and expects the middle class to pay for them. [/quote]
