I agree. Spending millions to house, feed and clothe foreigners and not saying a word about reparations, healthcare or overburdened schools will do that.
Do these guys have problems with legal, law abiding, hard working, educated, skilled, affluent, tax paying immigrants as well or are you okay with them?
Of course not. Ask yourself who is conflating the two.

Stop demonizing children and stop using your own children as political props for disinformation.

But really? It seems like people I know who are not particularly affected by this issue are focused on it as a deciding factor in the election. It’s immigration, immigration, immigration.
Is immigration that terrible for our country? In my world at least, the most obvious related issue I see is that small businesses don’t have enough labor. So immigration is a good thing.
Maybe I’m myopic. Can someone please explain?

Yikes. This hits home in FCPS.
come to Sterling Middle school and see what Democrat policies have done to the middle class. Title one school , gangs, kids without parents, kids cant speak English.
and Democratic politicians are NEVER seen there. Warner, Kaine, Conelly never seen or helping.
When they don't visit the schools or see firsthand what's happening, they can pretend problems don't exist.
My children attend public schools in a city people claim is ‘overrun’ with immigrants. No issues for my kids.

And to the OP - the issue is ILLEGAL immigration.![]()
Stop gaslighting. You don’t want any more brown or Black people, legal or not, in your neighborhood, town, county, state, or country. Stop using your kids as political pawns for your bigotry. Kids don’t have a problem with new or different kids, unless their parents force them to. I say this as someone in 3rd grade in the South when our school was desegregated and as parent of 3 children who benefited from very diverse public schools. You guys are saying the same shit as every bigot in history.
I am a “brown” daughter of immigrants. I’m a Democrat and will be voting for Harris, but you’re being myopic if you think everyone concerned about the effects of the migrant crisis is concerned because they’re racist.
I live in NYC. The city is spending literally billions of dollars of taxpayer money on housing, feeding, and caring for migrants. NYC had to institute across the board cuts to all city programs and services to pay for this. The migrants are all over the subway and the sidewalks panhandling, often with children (who are not in school, and therefore may eventually become taxpayer liabilities as adults) in tow. And the kids who are in enrolled in school (as they should be) are consuming resources paid for by US citizen taxpayers, and because resources are finite, taking them from the children of US citizen taxpayers.
You might not personally care about this, but it’s insane for you not to realize or care that other people do. Maybe for the most hardened MAGA types it’s a question of racism, but not for everyone. Many Democrats are concerned too. And acting like this isn’t a problem is not going to help Democrats get elected.
LIAR

Come to western Fairfax.
I know we get what we deserve in Alexandria, but our schools are imploding because of illegal immigrants. But the idealistic progressives supported a property tax increase to fund the disaster that is ACPS. Someone highlighted the unlicensed businesses in Arlandria that the police force had hailed on its own FB, and in true ALX fashion the person suggesting the police not promote illegal businesses was called a racist. Housing Alexandria unapologetically does not require proof of legal status and allows applicants to hand fill in income declarations - no W2 required. This is consistent with HHS policy under the Biden-Harris administration. My child was assaulted and robbed by a non-English speaking person on the DASH bus. Illegal immigration affects many of us every single day. Worrying that my daughter may not be able to get an abortion is a worry that never enters my mind; but her 45% ELL and growing classroom affects her every single day.
