Worse still, be are importing hordes of uneducated immigrants who may or may not value education as the single best means for their childrens’ success and happiness.
I wish our flood of immigrants were at least educated, literate and ready to work in a corporate work environment. But we are importing low-educated labor. There children are NOT going to do this work. So our current system will require a constant flood of low-educated labor to do “the jobs American’s refuse to do”, while we hope and pray their children assimilate, get educated and contribute to society instead of turning to gangs and crime.
I imagine myself in the shoes of a poor child of a Mexican who grew up in America, but didn’t do well in school, maybe failed out. You see all this wealth around you, and things like attractive women going with some succesful guy, and its going to make you angry.
For your parents making 7 dollars an hour and living in America was a dream come true, compared to the life back home. The child can’t see that because they haven’t worked hard days for 1 or 2 dollars an hour, and struggled just to survive.
Its very tempting to join a gang and maybe make big money.. or join anti-establishment movements like marxism to ‘share’ the wealth. Either way it seems to empower our government, the police state or the welfare state.
Compare that to a Chinese immigrant child who scores very high on testing and does well in school. That child is going to be competing against the ‘elites’ own children for the good jobs, like high level government administrator, doctor, lawyer, city engineer, corporate management etc..
Although I argue a productive immigrant family like that can contribute to the state in different ways. To finance and staff the ‘research complex’, and the military aspects of the state.
