If we didn't piss off Mexico they would have prevented so many illegals coming, but they have stopped with their effort to help the US.

Also, the # of people moving back to Mexico was greater than the # coming here... which is no longer true. Bummer!

Also, the previous administrations were deporting illegal criminals but the current administration is too busy with the border to do that.

I am all for stopping illegal immigration and deporting criminals, but alas, we are too busy deporting doctors and teachers.

Please don't be disingenuous. There are Democrats now who all but openly advocate for allowing all illegals to stay. You sound like you are one of them with your lie about the "doctors and teachers."

The Council doesn't really care what we think, they just vote for the most insane laws so that our county can be a poster child for liberalism. I am a Democrat but this county has gone nuts. And when my kids graduate, I am out of here along with my 6 figure MD tax payments (and I mean taxes not income).

I think this is insane given the funding shortfalls in Montgomery County. I know we as parents always look to schools as an area that could be better funded, but even if we don't look at the paraprofessionals that could be hired with this money, there are plenty of other ways to support Montgomery County residents with these funds.
