Not to nit pick, but it seems to me that our state has somewhat of an albatross around its neck when it comes to literacy and graduation rates, given the huge numbers of illegals occasionally attending our larger metropolitan school districts.

EXACTLY...her NWO boys did everything possible to keep the border open and adopt these precious pets that have bankrupted states and destroyed our schools. When I heard her on TV on this topic...I thought I was going to blow a valve. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GIVE BIG-MOUTH BABS A WAKE-UP CALL!

Occasionally? Surely, you jest. In most metro districts, they are at least a msjor contributing factor. In some, they are an absolute majority.

Yet another reason to make English the official language. It will save money on printing forms in other languages. It will save money for interpreters. It will force non-English speaking people to learn English to get any type of benefits. They will have to learn English to survive and assimilate.
