Latino “immigrants” are the reason that some schools that used to test very well near me are now failing NCLB. Hard to do well on those test when your elementary schools are filled with latinos who can’t pass the english part of the exams. You should go to a K or first grade class in some parts of NC. The white kids are in the minority. As you go up in grades that changes but the writing is on the wall in a lot of schools. Eventually whole districts in the state will switch and then eventually the state itself will switch. Unimpeded immigration plus a really high birthrate will do that overtime. We are on the way to becoming Mexico north.

There.
I fixed it.

A word about the so-called debates last night...
When the illegal immigrat issue came up, not a single "candidate" touched the 5000-pound elephant in the room:

Why haven't our immigration laws been repealed if they're not enforced?
Why do we need the INS?

Why haven't the American citizens and legal residents been asked: would you contribute to the expense of deporting 8 million illegals? 20 million?
The question is not asked because the answer might embarrass the idiot politicians.
Is it possible?
Damned right it is.

It's "not possible" only because it's never been tried...

Can you imagine you, myself, or any other of the "ignorant Americans" here expecting to conduct all our business in English if we went to, say Europe, Japan, or even Mexico?

Nothing wrong with that expectation, so long as you provide your own translator. That's the way things used to be. I remember it well.

I wish someone would write the definitive history of how, exactly, criminals coerced a nationfull of citizens to be their personal slaves (by funding what they should be providing themselves).

Didn’t those communities provide their own liasions. Those who spoke the language would help those who didn’t and the other choice was to use your children as your interpreter.

It makes no sense to me! Obviously they don’t have to have the same info or their kids wouldn’t be all over the schools. Having been transferred to various places when the kids were in school, I know the hoops you had to go through but it seems they bend over backwards for illegals.

When we went to Boerne, they were not going to allow the kids to attend school at first because we were living in a hotel until we could find a place. I had to go see the superintendent so my kids could go to school as we had arrived a week before school. In fact we had to leave a Residence Hotel in the Randolph AFB area to go to two-rooms at a motel in Boerne because that is where we wanted to enroll the kids and they wouldn’t let me drive them from Universal City.

Typing this has really made me irritated.

It will happen if we don’t keep the pressure on and get behind people like Senator Inhofe who has once again submitted his English ONLY bill.

In addition, Johnson said, another interesting finding was that when schools sent home messages in Spanish, many Latino parents couldn’t read them.

Great, illiterate welfare cases for life, as soon as they all get their Z-visas.

Exactly - today it's all about non constitutionally enumerated rights not responsibility.

Say high to Roger Hedgecock for me.

I left Sandy Eggo last year, for NE Florida.
