You've got to feel sorry for the kids. Honestly, I do feel sorry for people, and I understand why they come running across the border in the middle of the night, but I'm not in any way saying it's right.

The bottom line is that they are using a very expensive, tax payer funded resource against the will of the very people that set aside that money.

It's called stealing.

Don't threaten people. I don't think you're the owner of this website. You people know exactly who you're talking about, so don't be cute. You're talking about Mexicans, so let's just at least be honest with each other, seeing as polite's gone out the window.

Thank you for that. I hope you will join me in refusing to accept the bullying that's going on here. People have a right to express an opposing viewpoint with out the (empty) threat of expulsion. It's harrassment, plain and simple, and if the intent is to intimidate, it will not work.

I highly doubt that they could be performing much worse than our American students.

I'll have to agree with you there.
We do know what we're talking about.
It's a shame that the 3 of you don't.

Don't let the bullying get to you. Without naming names, there are a handful of people here who are pretty territorial about this forum. They feel on top, and group together to attack other opinions. Who knows why? Maybe it's because they don't feel as inept on this forum as they do in the real world. It makes them arrogant, and all too happy to attack people with insults and attempt to get them banned.

Argue your point, but don't play their game. Don't give them the satisfaction of having a reason to run to the mods.

Just put that user on ignore because he tried that same approach with me. Report him to the mods, hopefully they will deal with him.
