Responses?

Raise taxes on the middle class workers to pay for all the associated costs. In areas likely to absorb a larger influx of children, prepare teachers and schools for larger classes and increased operational costs. Hire more social workers, counselors, school nurses, and ESOL and special education teachers.

Ummm no. Giving people already here workin, but under the table, a legal work visa means that they are paying taxes. And very importantly as Boomers age out, paying into SS without drawing benefits, or full benefits in the future. How much are people working for cash paying in taxes, FICA etc? If they are going to work, isn’t it better they do so openly and contribute economically?

PP here. What you've said does not negate what I wrote. Maybe you work for a public school system...if you don't, then you can't imagine all that will need to be done as more and more families immigrate here.

I have kids in FCPS. And I have enough education to know this: I am proposing solutions to the problems we have that can be attained with the resources we have. You are proposing solutions to the problems you wish we had, in a world with unlimited resources. And speaking of scare resources. Yes, we would spend more on schools. Hopefully, that would be offset by new tax revenue from people who can work legally. But increased enforcement also costs more money. And we would get no corresponding offset as people melt into the shadows.

Sometimes adulting requires working with the reality we have not the reality we want. You want to deport millions of people with no extra resources and without increasing taxes.

That isn’t reality.

Here's my response: Please work for one month in an extremely rural or urban crowded school with large numbers of children who are struggling academically and behaviorally. Then come share why we shouldn't tighten our borders.

It is the Dem version of Hide and Seek or, better yet, Ringolevio.

In the interests of the taxpayers isn't it obvious that we should simply put a modest monetary bounty on illegal aliens?

So now, instead of bail, the criminals will be set free and their rap sheet expunged if for ten years they avoid recapture.
