[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the data from pew, pure data people without agenda, from this month with facts about illegal immigration. It is actually at a low point compared to a peak in bush years.

We're not providing fewer services to those who come here. Since the Bush years, more services are expected and even demanded re education, second language instruction, special education, post high school education support. housing support, medical care, and food.[/quote]

In many cases the kids are American citizens. [b]Do you want to discriminate against American citizens just because they are brown and their parents maybe undocumented?[/b] We have been giving ESOL and special education to Italians, Irish and others who immigrated in big numbers in the past too. Why is this any different ? It is not even a drop in the massive US budgets.

The link below is a book that explains the same issues faced by Italians and at that time there was so much hate crime against Italians because they weren’t considered white, at the time. History repeats itself, this time against Hispanics.

PP here. You're preaching to the choir, as they say. I've worked with kids from all walks of life for years. I care deeply about all of these kids, regardless of who they are; but it is expensive. There needs to be more control over the number of immigrants arriving and staying here. We already have impoverished, struggling children whose parents are American citizens; and we aren't doing enough for THEM. [/quote]

We are doing enough for all kids in blue states, just not in red states. The red states are perennially moochers because they  give tax cuts to the rich and have no money for its middle class citizens. We are the richest country and we do have the resources. But we just give too much away for the rich and that’s the issue we need to fix. I am all for Warren or kamala to come and tax the heck out of Trumps and other millionaires. [/quote]
