State Figures for Educating and Imprisoning Immigrants Incorrect

Nice to know we're a country that thinks more of educating other countries people than our own. It's the Liberal way...............People call American's selfish

They're our people now whether or not you like it. And your ancestors went through the same thing unless they all came from the British Isles.

How is this any detriment to English-speaking students anyway? Do you just think we shouldn't do anything to teach immigrant children how to speak English in schools? Do you seriously think that would be good for anyone?

Whites first! That did a whole lot of good for our country before

What's with this massive level of immigration when we have so much unemployment problems?

Iraqi refugees? Why aren't they in their country fighting for their freedom? Why aren't these immigrants expected to pay for the special programs they need themselves?

Conservatives: Latin people need to be deported they won't learn English.
Sensible person: They are learning English in school now along with the millions of older immigrants who take classes to learn English and are making huge gains assimilating into American society!
Conservatives: ...I don't want brown people here.

I find it ironic that you're criticizing this considering that your own skills in English seem to be rather sub-par.

They have to do something..30% of the students are limited English.
Do you know what that does to the school in state testing ?

Liberals: We need Americans to practice birth control because we don't want an overpopulated country. Liberals again: We need to bring in millions of impoverished illiterate immigrants even with unemployment rates sky high and we really adore the ultra cheap labor and crowded slums.

We need to bring in about 10 million muslims! And hope they move into your neighborhood.

notice, they are giving examples of kids from Iran for instance. These kds are here legally and most kids who come here legally with their legal parents want to be part of our country. This is how our ansesters made a life for themselves and their families, they learned English and they worked for everything they had. it is the illegals that we don't need and yes, they do want to enjoy the benefits our goevenment can give them while at the same time not totally accepting America as their new home. There is a difference between those you are giving examples of and the illegals.
