Did you know that long lists of distracting facts can be presented as opinion and regurgitated from down-loadable talking points called "Troll kits"?

THOSE immigrants, which likely got here LEGALLY, did not have taxpayer-funded bilingual education. The gov't did not kow-tow to them. THEY had to adapt to the US; the US did not have to adapt to them. Oh, BTW, they STILL managed to learn English.
