[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.

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]
DP..  get off your high horse.  I can speak two languages, too, but it's incredibly selfish and naive to think that just because one person was able to achieve x with no help that others can do the same with no help.

More than likely that fruit or vegetable you ate (if you eat any, that is) was picked by an illegal immigrant.  I'm not *for* illegal immigration, but I see those folks as people and not just a drain on society and realize that they do some back breaking work.

That's a lot of hate for people who pick your produce for you and your family.[/quote]
