"No Child Left Behind"

When parents are deported, all children under 21 depart with them. PERIOD.

Judy? I had no idea that was what he meant. I sure wish that guy would quit with the double talk so we could understand what he really means once in awhile.

tk422 unfortunately a last name means a great deal. I retired from the State of California. I worked with an Italian man from New York who had a Spanish surname by virtue of the fact that his great grandfather had come here from Spain (Europe). Because of his last name he went to Rutgers free and the state promoted him every time he became eligible for a promotional exam. He did not speak Spanish and he spent most of his work days reading the sports page and flirting with secretaries. I personally liked the guy but sometimes I think of him when government hiring practices are mentioned.

Have dealt with many illegal aliens.

My husband speaks fluent 'Mexican' - in other words, he speaks their language -well he speaks their father's language. Much like American language today, it is somewhat different from English of a generation ago.

Are they good people - some are - some aren't.

Are they hard workers - some are - some aren't.

In our state, they are crushing the education system.

They are using food stamps.

They are getting free food through WIC.

They are getting totally free medical care. (I just 'talked" to a young lady who was an RN in a border hospital. She said the American people would not believe the amount of services they get that Americans can't. She said there is a chemo treatment for cancer that is very, very effective. It costs $10K a treatment. Insurance companies are saying it is experimental and will not pay for it. So if you have the money, you can get some first class treatment for cancer - or if you are an illegal as they get the treatment free.

My grandson was taken to the local ER for a severe allergy attack. He was told it would be 4 hours before he could be checked in - the doctors will not come out until you are checked in by the ER staff. The waiting room was full of illegals.

Our auto insurance is out of site.

Property taxes are skyrocketing. The elderly are having to sell their homes because they can't afford the taxes on thier homes.

I used to help a friend liquide estates. One of the ways the new arrivees get their households goods is from estate and garage sales. I am being very kind when I say that 50% of the women would steal or attempt to steal from the sales. They teach the kids to steal -

Should I go on - yes I have known some - yes I have liked some -

But they are here illegally - they are destroying this nation and the future of our children and grandchildren.

By the way there are Americans cooking and eating out of garbage cans also. Many of them fought for this country.

Mexico will never be any better unless and until they make it better.

A lesson we need to learn and soon.

I worked with a couple at Denny's. I was cornered late at night when it was just me and the cook once in the kitchen and once in the walk in refrigerator. I was also attacked by one at the 7-11 in Texas a few years ago. I had my mace with me, though. Why? Do you have something to say to me? Come on, let's go. I like talking about this.

Talk about missing the point. The issue of deporting illegal immigrants is not relative to whether or not they are good people. It has to do with the financial burden put on our citizens by allowing illegal immigrants to utilize public services that are funded by taxes as well as a high risk of national security during a time where securing our borders is crucial.

Immigrants can be nice as nice can possibly be, but that does not change the economic and social impacts of their presence. Would you adopt 12 really nice children you cannot afford to raise? Most likely not. Why then would we take on responsibility of giving away billions of dollars each year to illegal immigrants on account of being good people?

We want to help poverty al throughout the world, but draining our resources faster than we can replenish them will not solve anything. It will only bring us down to their level. What happens when we are all poor and wanting to migrate to a wealthier nation? 12 million is bad enough; just imagine 200 million. That's exactly where we are headed... with the best intentions in our hearts.
