This progression pattern applies to my family and many other Hispanic-Americans.

Or we could do the following

Secure the border
End birthright citizenship
Mandate Everify

Their is not point in improving a system which is a increasing influx of poverty if said influx is not eliminated..

Why does any group need to be nudged into achieving academic success?

With non stop Illegal immigration on a regular basis you have a steady supply of 1st generation to deal with in large numbers.

Illegal aliens generally BRING with them the problems of the culture/country they flee from, hence the problems we see today.

I guess all of the amendments that have been made to the original Constitution was gutting it then? Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that children of illegal aliens are granted birthright citizenship anyway so just what is being gutted? It is the interpretation of the Constitution that has been distorted.

What has birthright citizenship have to do with hating Hispanics? Hispanics aren't the only ones here illegally.

Agreed tho many Arabs and Asians ARE "Mexican" brown in skin color so it's something else going on.

Try again there please.

There's NOTHING wrong with that gunlover posted. God knows that Mexico AND Spain don't play well with illegal aliens and MOST rich countries DON'T have any kind of birthright unless 1 parent is a citizen. E verify is just being smart.

To have a honest discussion, we have to factor in Hispanic illegals. Americans of Hispanic descent are doing as well as the next guy, they melted in a long time ago. Second generation are a mixed bag, but many do well. Thirdly, the newer wave of anchor babies are the ones that seem to have issues. I would say the challenge is more cultural than academic. The vast majority of them don't graduate. They can do the work, but they quit. How do you change that?

You cant, it is cultural, you must over ride their culture, and secure the border/end bright citizenship.
