Colombia is not in Central America and they're one of the most highly skilled and educated immigrants in the U.S.
Just thought I'd say that.
And you felt the need to say this...why?
There are plenty of uneducated Colombians in this country. They are as bad as the other uneducated ones from south of the border. Some towns in NJ, for example, have problems with Colombians living in overcrowded flophouses. Many criminals from Colombia are here and wreaking havoc. To say that Colombians here are all here legally and are well educated is a falsehood. Yes, there are educated Colombians here. They came here legally and hold good jobs plus they are fluent in English. However, to say they are in the majority is wrong.
OP could've just said illegal immigration.
But he had to paint a picture with a description on how he views brown people.
Now that's a bigoted remark^^^^. Not all illegal aliens are "brown people". Not all illegals showing up at the border are from Mexico, Central or South America. We have illegals from all over the world. In the past, ICE has deported illegals back to 189 countries. Let me educate you---189 countries covers every race, religion and ethnicity.
Women from south of the border have been coming to Houston to have their babies since I was a child. Paid for by Harris County Texas taxpayers.
I was stunned to see all those raised hands at the democratic primary. Then I remembered we already do give free medical care to anybody who shows up at a hospital emergency room. But I can't remember when it started.
That wall will stop no one who wants in.
As long as they can get work, they will come.
Americans think long range planning means what will we do after lunch. What we did in Central and South America will haunt us for another 50 years.
Per the bolded ---It will stop the vast majority. The wall that Bill Clinton had built on the San Diego/Tijuana border has drastically cut down on illegal crossings and crime.
It takes two to tango. No one forces the illegals to come here. They are just as guilty as those who knowingly hire them are.
No wall is high enough nor patrols deep enough so long as US businesses and people continue to employ (especially independent contractors) undocumented people without consequences.
It’s all about the insatiable demand for cheap labor.
We refer to the immigrants as criminals while excusing those who employ them.
Stop trying to blur the lines between illegal aliens and legal immigrants. It's insulting to legal immigrants to get lumped in with illegal aliens.
How is that impact different between legal and illegal immigrants?
Why not simply offer funds to supplement ESL efforts in those areas since it would spike scores in all areas?
Why live and die from school ratings? They are not a measure of ability and generally directly correspond with family wealth/education levels.
And this does nothing to explain the horrible testing and school ratings in parts of WV, Pa, and Ohio that are almost entirely native born white folks.
Most legal immigrants who come here have more education thus encourage their children to do well in school. What you don't get about illegal immigration from the banana republics is this --- they are functionally illiterate and don't value education. The parents don't learn English so their kids, even the anchor babies, come to school not only not knowing English but the Spanish they do know is atrocious. For example, these kids don't even know colors and can't tell red from blue. Teachers will tell you that these kids never full catch up. Since their parents don't value education, they encourage their kids to drop out of school. Some even encourage their teenaged daughters to get pregnant due to the mistaken notion that if the daughter has a child, it will make the whole family legal.
You point out American kids who are getting poor educations. Yet you want more money spent on ESL classes. That's money that needs to go to poor American citizens.

The good walls in place have been 90% effective in deterring illegal entry. Just because someone is determined to enter our country illegally doesn't mean they will succeed so just stop with your constant repetitious BS in here! How many times do you also have to be told that they aren't undocumented people they are illegal aliens! "Polly wanna cracker"?
We all know that the greedy employers want cheap labor but the illegals themselves are just as guilty of breaking the law! So why are you giving them a pass? They are both equally guilty! No one forces these illegals over our border to work here. If they weren't here the employers wouldn't be able to hire them either! Illegals many times commit felony ID theft to gain employment. Guess what, that IS criminal and so is tax evasion! Are they forced to commit those crimes?
When an employer has been caught "knowingly" hiring illegal aliens they ARE held accountable! I have posted several cases under Trump where that was the case. Trump reinstated the workplace raids that were discontinued under Obama. Your fellow Democrats won't pass an e-verify bill unless there is a massive amnesty attached to it also. So put the blame on all the guilty parties instead of pretending that these illegals and the Democrats are the innocents in all of this!
And once again, illegal aliens aren't plain ole immigrant either. No one is calling legal immigrants, criminals it is illegal aliens that are! Get that through your head once and for all and stop blurring those lines!!!
Is this an idiotic attempt to pull the race card just because we object to "illegal" immigration and want secure borders?????? Is this a cross post from La Raza?

It is absolutely stunning and sickening that there are so many who appear to be delighted that our border is being swarmed by the poverty stricken, poorly educated, low skilled, diseased, disabled and criminal populations of other countries.
As each day passes it appears the United States is being defeated from within without a shot being fired.
