Did you actually read my post? I said:



Tell me just how well heeled and upwardly mobile an illegal alien with a 7th grade education is.
so you care about how educated they are? I bet you anything that any of those elementary school drop-outs have more culture and general knowledge
than our typical high school graduates, 90% of US HS graduates can not identify Europe on a map, 85% could not tell which country borders us to the
north, 65% could not name the president of the US, etc. you don't need to be a genius to harvest avocados. these are just the newcomers, hispanics in general are upwardly moving, you will not see many of them living in trailaers,
the etnic groups already have the political party in this country to make the voices of the hate groups disappear forever.

Not the graduates of the high schools my children attended, darlin'.


In view of their 50% high school dropout rate, I am not sure they will be 'upwardly mobile' any time soon.

Good article, I completely agree it's pathetic, even asians the racial group
with the best numbers (better than hispanics,whites, and blacks) only 79% graduate high school, but more over like I showed you in the previous post,
the achievement is pathetic. Hispanic numbers compare much better when you include private schools since they attend catholic schools in high numbers.
