[b]So this is what I don’t understand. They travel thousands of miles to come here to escape a toxic culture in their home country only to continue to live by this toxic culture here in the US[/b]? I’m sorry for their struggle but heck, they sky has just opened up for them with opportunities galore! Why continue to live defeated lives when they have attained freedom? Let’s empower them and challenge them to live better lives. I have been where they have been and it angers me to see them waste opportunities. They might as well have stayed put in their home country. Sorry to anyone I offend but it offends me when immigrants waste their freedom because there are so many others who couldn’t make it here that would’ve loved these opportunities.[/quote]

This statement is so laughable. We are talking about PTA participation for crying out loud. What makes you think that their disinterest in it is a sign of being defeated. Trust me, for them, coming to this country,  being able to live here is priceless. The fact that their kids are[b] getting a US education so that  they can have better lives[/b] than them is the ultimate dream. They don't see it as toxic at all. They could care less about PTA meetings. [/quote]

Neither of you guys understand immigrants.

We come here, mostly because of we can earn more money here. That's it. Culture? Sky opening up? Priceless? US education? 
What are you talking about? You really think everything is heaven here compared to other countries?

So you are affirming the assertion that immigrants are just here to take, take, take from Americans, without any loyalty or buy-in to American ideals.  But we should welcome you with open arms, so that we can spend $200,000 to educate each of your children.[/quote]
You got a terrible attitude about work if you think people who com here for better pay are "take take take"[/quote]

They all state, right on the news, that they came here for the wage armitage opportunity. They are economic migrants.  They make more in Mexico than Central America,they make mire in America than Mexico. They work cash black market jobs and remit over half back to Central America to build a bigger house for their wife and remaining kids and to return some day. Yes they can get int the asylum claimant line but that’s just to gain entry and stay forever. And fund chain migration of their other relatives via their remittances. $billions of USD to Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador per year. Never through the USA tax system.[/quote]
