[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The immigrant issue really transcends the classic boundaries of the social and economic. Many people will say, "I'm socially leftwing but economically rightwing," but these folks are a major, major drain on our economy. My kids' school has a few hispanics in each class. Their parents never show up to events, I've personally observed hired translators standing in the hallway waiting for no-show parents for HOURS for a parent-teacher conference, they need separate ESOL classes, they're on subsidized lunch and probably head start too, and then the kids misbehave and disrupt classes. It's a social and economic cancer[/quote] They are not drain on society. They are the legs on which this economy. Those kids will outperform yours one day. Watch it. While you are worried about ESOL classes, these kids grow up learning 2 languages. I learned Spanish after arriving in US because it's clearly the 2nd language here. Not a big deal. Why can't you? It's not a hard language. And if you can, why not help them translate. I don't show up for the school events. School is for kids and not for parents. You should go to school for you and not hang around your kids' school. [/quote] My children speak two languages fluently and they didn't need tax dollars to achieve that. I speak three languages. Hispanic illegal immigrants will NEVER pay enough into the system to justify the exorbitant amount of tax dollars wasted on their underperformance.[/quote] [b]Carlos Castro, president and CEO of Todos Supermarket[/b] [img]https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/104521154-GettyImages-97981174-carlos-castro.jpg?v=1532563824&w=740&h=416[/img] The year 1990 was a busy one for Castro. He not only founded Todos, a supermarket chain catering to Latino shoppers in the Washington, DC, area, he also became a U.S citizen, 11 years after he first entered the country. He initially fled El Salvador in 1979 and entered illegally but was later deported. The next year, he was back, working a series of odd jobs and eventually bringing over his wife and children. Todos (Spanish for “everybody”) is a small chain, but it’s a multimillion-dollar business — and a well-respected one. The Virginia Chamber of Commerce named it one of its Fantastic 50 businesses for three consecutive years starting in 2005, and in 2007 it claimed business-of-the-year honors from the Virginia Merchant and Retailers Association.[/quote] 1 illegal immigrant creates a chain that caters to illegals. 1 out of 11 million illegals isn't a great justification.
