Do you even have a college degree? if you have, you better get a refund.  Gang wars have been happening throughout human history. White supremacy gangs, Italian mafia, Russian gangs, black gangs, Hispanic hangs  etc etc.

America is a country of 330 milllion, what happens in small school is not representative of the country. That’s why data makes sense, not anecdotes. Data suggests what you are describing is an exception and not the rule. You have no credibility because you are trying hard to extrapolate and exception case into a everyday rule case. It’s not gonna work, fortunately there are enough educated Americans. [/quote]

Actually it did already work when Trump was elected, you know.  [b]You are still blind to the anger people feel when someone "educated" tells them their individual situation is irrelevant, the pain they feel is irrelevant, their personal struggles are irrelevant because "big global trends" show something different.[/b][/quote]

I don't care what your 'data' says.  When my standard of living is being lowered due to illegal immigration, it becomes an issue for me.  And, many like me.  Educated and not.  [/quote]

 Yes, the blame

Yes yes yes.[/quote]

How is your standard of living being lowered "due to illegal immigration." I would actual facts and examples, please. Not talking points.[/quote]

Have you been conveniently skipping posts that have already laid out these facts and examples?  Too painful for you to hear about the overcrowded schools full of kids who don't speak English, whose needs come before kids of American citizens?  How about the neighborhoods with multiple families of illegal immigrants crowding into houses and lowering the value of said neighborhoods?  Shall I continue?  If you can't keep up with the thread, perhaps you should simply do some googling of your own.   :roll: [/quote]

I’m the PP who posted about how illegal immigration affects my kids and my community in a daily basis.  Why is that unimportant to the a Democrats?  It’s important enough to me that i’ll be basing my vote on it for the next election.  And call me xenophobic and uneducated all you want.  IRL, I’m not White and I have an advanced degree.  Not that it should matter anyway.  Educated or not, people have a right to their opinions.[/quote]

It's not just an opinion. I chose to sell my house due to high influx of undocumented  immigrant children in my local school AND the lack of enforcement of various local laws in my neighborhood. The local school did not receive adequate funding, test scores were really bad, and my neighbors were quickly selling their houses. I stayed for 10 years after the first people started moving out. I meet with the local school board, offered to take two weeks off and volunteer in the local school 2 years before my child reached kindergarten, and finally sat on my front steps and cried when I realized that I needed to sell the house. I wanted a good public education for my kid, not a religious private education (didn't get enough financial aid for the other privates). When I chose to buy again, my new house is less than 1/4 mile from the old one. Same community, but better schools. BTW, you might even mistake my child for one of the children living in a detention center.

We need to have an honest discussion about our immigration system and concrete answers.[/quote]

Well said.  Thank you.[/quote]
