Yeah, no S schools are overcrowded when this idiot sanctuary county rolls out the carpet for mass illegal immigration. They also consume massive amounts of intensive resources because now they require all sorts of ESL staff since they barely speak English. They also need to be taught tons and tons of remedial work since they're from countries with barely functional education systems, which drags down overall quality for all students and costs tons of more money. Tests scores continue to decline in our public schools as more and more people from 3rd world poverty flood into the county.

Next, they also now whine about lack of affordable housing. Yeah, well duh, of course you have less available affordable housing units when massive stocks are rented out to boatloads of illegal immigrants. Every single apartment complex near us with cheaper rentals is overwhelmingly filled with illegal immigrants. Every single unit they occupy is a unit not available for a US citizen. What'd the county expect when they invite in a million illegal immigrants? They have to live and be housed somewhere, duh! So what are liberals' solution now? They cry about affordable housing, so their solution is to now upzone all of our nice neighborhoods. They want to tear down homes and build apartment complexes in the middle of your neighborhood. Basically, our citizens have to upend our way of life and pay more for the privilege of it, and all because massive amounts of illegal immigration is straining the entire county from educational resources, to housing, to the county budget.

Open borders under Harris Biden have been a disaster.

You must be blind not to see what is happening

This is happening a lot in the DMV. In our school district, the school board is now considering moving middle/upper class kids to those types of schools to cover up that they are failing due to the influx of the kids from the border. This will be the issue that turns democrats to republicans. It's fine to vote for Democrats until it's your own kids that are impacted

Urban elites don’t care

They have nothing but contempt for middle class

It really should not be surprising why so many are rejecting Harris and overwhelming immigration

You are so brainwashed.

He is very good at making people feel very anxious or even afraid about the issue. He is not the guy for solutions.

DP. Anyone who has witnessed the outrageous wave of illegal immigration during the Biden/Harris administration is not brainwashed. OTC, you are gaslighting, yet again. Exactly what will Harris do to take the border *seriously*?

"outrageous"

I grew up in CA and they have been complaining about immigration for 45 years, even through GOP leadership. It’s a refrain there to be sure.

Gosh, I can’t imagine why… couldn’t possibly be because, you know, it’s a huge problem? Nah, that couldn’t be it.

I'm a teacher. Do you honestly think a class in which 75% or more of the students are learning English as a second language doesn't impact the instructional pace? That's not a racist comment. It's a big challenge for the teachers and students.

Can you provide some data showing that 75% of the kids in Sterling are in ESL?

Silly elementary school in Sterling. 93% low income students and 80% are English Language learners.https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/sterling/1001-Sully-Elementary-School/

If you followed the official process and you are a US citizen who wants to sponsor your unmarried children who are over 21, the Department of State is processing applications filed in October of 2015- so 9 years. If your children live in Mexico the wait is even longer- they are processing applications submitted Jan 2003- so 21 years.

If you want to sponsor your brother or sister application filed in 2007 are being processed - so 17 years (and longer for certain countries).

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2025/visa-bulletin-for-october-2024.html

So now imagine you have been waiting that long and Biden in October of 2022 decides he is going to let people from certain countries cut in line. So he flies in roughly 214,000  Haitians, 117,000 Venezuelans, 111,000 Cubans and 96,000 Nicaraguans to the U.S. so far under the policy.

Now add to that all the asylum seekers who are economic refugees but are also cutting the line.

People who aren't immigrants or who don't have family members who are immigrants have no idea what is really happening.

This new wave is completely different and it is going to be a disaster. Historically migrants to the US have made their own way and don't immediately rely on hand outs and free housing (not including refugees and we actually don't take many refugees as a country). Listen to the podcast from This American Life 818 Stand Clear of the Moving doors. I suppose they meant it to be sympathetic, but the profile a group consisting of two families traveling with two guys that show up to the Roosevelt Hotel expecting to get free hotel rooms. The city buses them to a tent shelter where they can stay for free. The families leave and go back to the Roosevelt hotel to demand hotel rooms explaining ""They said they were going to send us to a hotel, but it wasn't a hotel. It's a campsite," says one of the men, "where we're all sleeping on cots. And we need our privacy for the kids. You understand? And the bathrooms-- they're not in the main tent. You have to go outside to use them." So the family has come on foot all the way from Venezuela through Central America and Mexico and the tent shelter being offered is probably way better than anywhere else they stayed along with way.

When so many are coming with an expectation that the US owes them something, it doesn't bode well for everyone else here.
