[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Let me guess. Higher taxes soon because there are no more seats in our schools, amirite? [/quote]

MCPS has 162,680 students. 1,200 unaccompanied minors is less than 1%. If there are no more seats it is hardly the fault of these kids.

Except thaat's in less than one year with no end in sight.. Multiply the problem by 10 years.  Illegal immigration has been going on for decades in MoCo and it is already straining the county's resources. That's 1,200 more seats taxpayers have to pay for to educate foreign nationals from another country. Every dollar spent on another country's child is a dollar not spent on our own children.[/quote]

Then maybe we should fix the immigration and refugee problem that leads to the children being unaccompanied so that their tax-paying, labor-providing parents come along, too. Seems like a win-win. In addition to not being terrible.[/quote]

No, that’s not a win-win at all.

Yes, we should fix the immigration problem that has been caused by essentially having open borders and encouraging illegal immigration.  It’s not compassionate to encourage parents to send their minor children into the US unaccompanied.

Why are we encouraging illegal immigration?  No other reason than to ensure that our construction companies and landscaping companies and agriculture employers have an endless supply of cheap labor.

You can advocate to allow for more legal immigration.  But advocating for more illegal immigration is a terrible, selfish and misguided idea.[/quote]
