[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you believe that FCPS or another VA school system has experienced "[b]reduced quality of public education due to the illegal situation[/b]" (as someone commented on in another thread), can you please provide some stats to factually illustrate how big of an issue this really is? I have not been able to find any information to support this claim. Specifically: 1) Name a school currently impacted. 2) What % of students there are "illegal"? [/quote] This is not in question. It is 100% true and fact. My school has turned into a third world country in the last 10 years since Obama put DACA into place. Thousands are here. Also here are the children of illegal immigrants who do not speak english and come from illiterate parents. They are themselves birthright citizens, but they otherwise would not be here were the illegal immigration problem addressed. Also reducing the quality of public education in this area is the FFX housing subsidies. What you end up having is concentrated pockets of the populace who end up placing undue burden on specific schools. The parents who know this fight redistricting and affordable housing development in their neighborhoods tooth and nail. [/quote] [b]And illegals are also crowding into single family homes in “nice” neighborhoods. That has caused my neighborhood school to rapidly decline. If a landlord accepts housing vouchers, that happens. A lot of SF homes in this area are rentals due to heavy military presence.[/quote][/b] Thank you! I brought up the same thing - my parents' nice SFH has lost half its value due to the influx of illegals and the rapid decline of the schools (the majority are FARMS and ESOL, and it was a nice middle-class school when I went there.) Illegal immigrants are bunching up two and three families to a house. It's terrible. Did you happen to see the response upthread- from someone who was in this country illegally? First, she blamed me for "letting" my parents stay in the house, but worse....she bragged that her kids are FARM and ESOL, while at the same time, bragging how she herself "steered clear" of neighborhoods with schools that had a high percentage of FARM and ESOL kids! The gall. She doesn't want her kids to be in school district with poor and non-English speakers, populated with people like her kids, because it brings down the quality of education. And she was here illegally! (Twice, she said.) [/quote] You have NO IDEA if your parents' neighbors are "illegal". You only know that they are low-income and maybe some speak Spanish. Stop making sh1t up in your head. [/quote] Can't help noticing that the liberals on this thread refuse to condemn the exploiter who admitted she was here illegally, has her kids on FARM and ESOL - and then said she made sure the school her kids would attend were low in FARN/ESOL kids. Does any liberal see the hypocrisy in that, and willing to criticize it? Or is the criticism only directed at law-abiding Americans who are paying the price for people like her?[/quote]
