I haven’t but with this administration and the teachers unions I wouldn’t discount it.

Why have you left your country?
Because of poverty and misery.
You have fear of your government.
You have fear of extortion.
You have been extorted.
You have family in the USA.
Have you lived here once before?
This is my first time.

“Oh, I just love the fact that Lynn is a diverse community.” Ha, ha, ha. Just wait until until some 35-year-old illegal gets wind of the fact that he can enroll in your public school and use the girls’ bathroom.

We all thought teaching to the lowest common denominator was bad last year.

Illegals should be deported, not educated at taxpayer expense. If they have to be in our schools, they should be taught English - but only by the least capable teachers that we are stuck keeping. Why pull a quality teacher out of a classroom for Americans, when we can put teachers who are not skilled in the regular classroom in a new environment, where they have as much chance as any other teacher to succeed?

"Most of them can barely read in Spanish"

Ugh, don't get me started on how frustrating it is to deal with an ADULT illegal alien who can't read in English OR Spanish.

For my patients, I have an option to print out instructions in different languages.

I hand them a paper explaining their condition in espanol, and they can't read it.

The irony is that their kids pick up on English quickly, and can translate for their illiterate parents.

We're not talking fresh off the boat illegals either.

Some people have been in this country for decades.

Jeez, when I go to Mexico, my crummy Spanish gets me by.

And I can actually read signs and newspapers, too.

It's simple as pie to translate written words when you have the time.

Instead of further burdening our taxpayers, why not require that all of the advocates of illegal alien immigration have to pay?

Schumer, Gutierrez, Grijalva, La Raza, the Catholic Church, LULAC, ACLU, Romney, Ryan, Paul, Rubio, McCain, Graham and many others have been advocating the invasion, so why shouldn’t they be billed for the cost?
