AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Starting seventh grade at her first American school, facing classes taught entirely in English, Alisson Ramirez steeled herself for rejection and months of feeling lost.
“I was nervous that people would ask me things and I wouldn’t know how to answer,” the Venezuelan teen says. “And I would be ashamed to answer in Spanish.”
Outside the classrooms, it’s a different story. While that school system is striving to accommodate more than 3,000 new students mostly from Venezuela and Colombia, the city government has taken the opposite approach. City Council has tried to dissuade Venezuelan immigrants from moving to Aurora by vowing not to spend any money helping newcomers. Officials plan to investigate the nonprofits who helped migrants settle in the Denver suburb.
When Aurora’s mayor spread unfounded claims of Venezuelan gangs taking over an apartment complex there, former president and current GOP candidate Donald Trump magnified the claims at his campaign rallies, calling Aurora a “war zone.” Immigrants are “poisoning” schools in Aurora and elsewhere with disease, he has said. “They don’t even speak English.”
Trump has promised that Aurora, population 400,000, will be one of the first places he launches his program to deport migrants if he’s elected.
This is life as a newcomer to the United States in 2024, home of the “American dream” and conflicting ideas about who can achieve it. Migrants arriving in this polarized country find themselves bewildered by its divisions.
Many came looking for better lives for their families. Now, they question whether this is even a good place to raise their children.

They brought the crap with them and never updated just stayed the same but expected everything for free ,LOL
They came illegally and are committing crimes being here, all while our government pays them for everything they want, and forces the rest of us to pay for the schools and such through higher property taxes. Additionally, they beg or take jobs Americans should only be allowed to do.
Every last illegal needs to go back. They should be banned from reentry at least ten years, as the law has mandated, and then see if a legal way to enter will then be permitted.
Oh, and due to the costs they've all put on us, we get to remove a non-critical organ—a liver lobe, one lung, one kidney, one eyeball, skin grafts, etc., which will begin to repay they debt as it helps Americans gain some health.
“…their debt…” not “they”
Headline should read:
“They came to America looking for FREE S#$& — and MORE FREE S#$%. The results are that our citizens got screwed over.
Bull-$hit.
All that’s coming now are criminals and crazy people...
There countries have run out of normals, as planned...so now empty prisons and crazy houses!!

Just when one thinks that our media can make even greater ***holes of themselves.....
They came to take freebies from the Democrat Regime, at the expense of Americans of all colors.
They came to America for all the free stuff -
Always liked people who came to America, to live where government is limited - that was important to them, because for all of them, they wished to be free from abuse by government.
Today’s illegals are welfare seekers. They’re not the ambitious, talented, and legal immigrants of the 1800s and early 1900s — who were moving into an emptier land that was really benefiting from having more people.
“While that school system is striving to accommodate more than 3,000 new students mostly from Venezuela and Colombia….”
————————————-
The average expenditure per student in Aurora is $13,337 based on last year’s budget. An ADDITIONAL 3,000 students would require an increase in expenditures of about $40M a year. Every year.
Where is that coming from? The local tax base. The local population is just under 400,000. This means every person in that city has to fork over $100 per year EXTRA to cover these kids. And we all know that the tax base is a lot smaller than the population.
Talk about inflation.
There are immigrants...
And there are gimmegrants.
Allow the latter at your peril.
The criminals from Venezuela did take over several apartment buildings and the police refused to do anything about it. The politicians were part of the corruption.
I thought they came here for “asylum” and to use the trip to fatten up their women kids. It appears they only came her to take a swing at the United States’ Piñata Grande and get all of gringo’s free stuff that falls out. The old fruit picker days are gone. This is about seeing how much they can steal from whitey. They have no intention of working here.
Every non profit and NGO needs to be investigated from the inside out. If there’s a single case of human trafficking then the entire organization needs prison time.
Warning Bullshit Report
They came to America looking for better lives

The know they can get away with rape murder and every con game and no prison time bonus round a life time of welfare and medical.....................................................
Did they come here legally? Or like crim8nals breaking our law?
Most illegals do not come here to work, th3y come here to suck off the gov teat and drain our economy to the tune of over $1 trillion per year after all costs associated with illegal immigration, direct and indirect costs that is, are estimated. Nearly 3/4 of illegals do NOT come here to work, and are unemployed and collect “free stuff” from the gov, some to the tune of over $45,ooo per year- 9nly approx 1/4 actually come here to work, but are still cr8minals for breaking our laws and taking away jobs from actual legal immigrants who obey our laws and go through the process of citizenship legally
