re: Lynn officials: Illegal immigrant children are stressing city services

they can try to reach their potential back in their home country

What? I thought these kids were the " best and brightest " that Obama accused mean conservatives of trying to keep out?




Don't know where you get that from.

The idiot in chief made the comment.

We shouldn't be making it harder for the best and brightest to come here."

And it's not our responsibility to find out. Sorry their country is so corrupt that they can't provide basic services, but we cannot afford to do it for them.

Didn't say it was. I was commenting that because a child was not literate did not mean they had no potential.

These Chirren are pretty peaceful as well.

An illegal immigrant who was released by U.S. authorities with a Notice to Appear has been arrested for the alleged murder of a woman and kidnapping of children on U.S. soil. The alleged crimes occurred after the man was released.
The man, Pedro Alberto Monterroso-Navas, entered the U.S. illegally with children and turned himself in to U.S. Border Patrol agents. He was processed and released, as are all illegal immigrants who come as unaccompanied minors or incomplete family units from Central America. The alien is from Honduras.

This was just discussed here the other day.
I'm not trying to be a bitch but this is the second time that I have noticed you seem oddly disinterested in seeking out new information on your own. Why is that?
Had I questioned something someone posted I would look for that information myself. Is it an act? I just don't get it.

Latham says me the increase in new students has created overcrowding, forced her to hire more staff, and has impacted state testing scores and drop-out numbers

Sounds like a whole lot of " potential ".

And I agree with Seinfeld. I'm all for open immigration as long as you

1) Have the means to support yourself
2) Can't sign up for public assistance until you've paid your own taxes for a number of years.

Ask someone who came here legally on a Visa if they can get medicaid. They'll just laugh and laugh and laugh...

They won't. Because in their mind, it's "save the children and the helpless no matter what".

Think of our societal structure as a very small boat at sea. We have people on our boat, have a vested personal and financial interest in our boat and did all the work to build/buy parts for our boat. We've all managed to ration out food and water proportionate enough for us.

Now we come across some people in the middle of nowhere in the ocean. They start swimming towards us. Their circumstances are dire, horrific and saddening. They have no boat, no raft, no swimming apparatus, nothing.

Now they are grabbing on to our boat and trying to get in. Out of our kindness we feel for them, and allow the three or four we found to get into our boat and share our resources.

We drift further along. Now we come across a group of 5 people. They are in the same circumstances as the first three to four people we picked up earlier. However now, our boat is full and our food/water supply is being disproportionately rationed. We decide to let those 5 people in our boat anyway. Now the food/water rations are screwed to high heaven, the boat is barely moving because of the weight and water is now seeping into the boat because it is vastly over capacity.

Now we come across a group of 10. Everyone on the boat now is frustrated and aggravated. Half of the people on the boat are insisting we let these 10 new people into the boat with us or else they'll die. The other half are refusing to let them into the boat...not because they are heartless, but because they know the boat cannot handle the additional people.

At some point, our tax/welfare system is going to crumble with the way we freely allow undocumented individuals into the country.

I, along with everyone else I would imagine, don't necessarily care that they are here/want to be here. However, find a way to document them, and get them into the system so they can contribute like everyone else.

Simply using a heartstrings argument that "they are humans and deserve the same privileges we have" isn't going to fly with the way our nation is designed. The boat will eventually capsize and not only will the drifters drown, but all of us along with it.

These kids should not be allowed to enroll in our schools. It only hampers the teachers ability to focus on the legal students. It pulls the entire system down. We are focusing more on bringing illiterates to a basic level as opposed to advancing the education of the students that should be getting those resources and attention.

If the Federal Govn wants to get these illegal immigrant kids to a basic level then open facilities just for that purpose. Quit dumping them in with kids who already are at those age appropriate(by developed country standards) levels.

I agree with this, but it would not be easy.

The "right" for illegals to attend public schools stems from a Supreme Court decision in the early 80s (Plyler v. Doe) that had its roots in Tyler, Texas.

The local superintendent (Jim Plyler) and the school board proposed charging tuition to illegals to attend public schools.

But the Tyler federal district judge, William Wayne Justice (I shite you not, that was his name), ruled that the illegals would be roaming the streets if not in school, and communities would be worse off.

Well, Wayne Justice died a few years ago, but I am sure that he saw that the effect of his decision was to ruin schools, PLUS communities would have roving bands of illegals committing crimes in the communities (take a look at the drop-out stats for Hispanics).

William Wayne Justice was a Democrat and appointed by Lyndon Johnson. He was one sorry son of a bitch. He also gave "reformed" the prison system (you know what that means).

Anybody ever wonder why all these schools, especially in Texas, are going to free breakfast and lunch for ALL students, regardless of income?

Because they have to treat illegals with kid gloves (no pun intended), and can't ask for proof of citizenship, or even age, and definitely can't ask about momma or daddy's income.

It's easier just to say, hey, no one has to prove anything any longer.

What did these people expect would happen when we imported mass poverty and illiteracy, and people who had no inkling of the rule of law from the shitholes from which they came?

Tarzan had no education, never attended school; but he was not 'illiterate in any language.' He could speak to monkeys, elephants and Jane.
