"Like it or not, children born in this country are entitled to an education, no matter what language their parents speak at home. I cannot believe that you would prefer these same children grow up to be unproductive welfare recipients. Last time I checked, the U.S.A. does not have an official language, english or otherwise."

Do you honestly believe that these "LEP" children are going to be made up of legal citizens? Two years ago, the stats were something like 3.5 million Texas residents were born outside of the U.S. At least a third of them are *illegally in the United States*.

Good grief.

Yes, I actually do believe that the vast majority of 4 year olds trying to enter pre-k here in Texas are legal citizens of this country. You have to present both an original legal birth certificate AND a legal original social security card in order to enroll in school here.

All it takes to become a citizen is to be born here. It doesn't matter whether your parents are legally here or not. If you are born here, you are a citizen here, and if you are a citizen, you are entitled to be educated here.

Are you honestly saying that you believe 3-4-5 year olds are sneaking across the border on their own to steal a "real American" baby's education?

good grief, for real, omg.
