[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s disheartening to work in a high school where 18 year old freshman are unable to converse in basic English without benefit of a translator. [/quote]

Would you prefer those kids don’t go to school at all?[/quote]

DP, but if one were to optimize for economic optimization without any regard to “kindness” then an argument could be made to exclude the migration of those having low income/limited English who are already around adult age. I say this as an immigrant myself.[/quote]

Pretty sure there is more economic in the benefit in the long-term if we make an attempt to minimally educate or assimilate an immigrant so that they become a working member of American society.

I don't think the older ones belong in a regular school though as the only thing that does is drag down the statistics heavily and make a school's and teacher's performance seem atrocious. They really shouldn't count as "normal" students as far as SOLs and state truancy and graduation requirements and such. It's actually pretty ridiculous that schools like Justice are so heavily penalized and criticized for failing to get these kids to meet the same standards as a native-born child.[/quote]
