You are correct.
the stastistics about poorly educated children in Texas is very much about illegal immigrants. the schools are overwhelmed just getting the kids to speak english much less read textbooks and take tests.
Same goes for ‘child poverty’ statistics. this is all about an overwhelming rush of poor and semi-illiterate Spanish-speaking illegal immigrants.
My school district here in TX is excellent. I agree... this has everything to do with illegals swarming the system in many places here.
