So let's teach them to read. And I doubt if all immigrants from Mexico are illiterate. Why not get rid of our American illiterates while we're at it?
Why not deport them instead?
Let their government teach them to read. Why should all the services (education, health care, welfare, etc.) be extended to those that crawl in our windows while our government sleeps?
You may doubt forever, but the fact remains that most of those creeping across the border are illiterates. Why else would they come here when our NAFTA agreement has helped so many millions of Mexicans obtain lucrative employment. (Sarcasm)
Unfortunately, in the case of the American citizen illiterates, as long as there is a television to lull them into a stupor they will remain illiterates.
So, why take on the world's idiots?
