I agree with nearly your whole post.

We have made it so easy for people to come here, that they are flooding in to the point that they are changing us, not becoming a part of us.

Agreed. But OURS is the responsibility to teach these people. A child does not learn good manners on accident. Neither will immigrants learn what is good, true and right about America without being taught.

And don't even get me started on 'public education.'

First of all, you and I disagree on the subject of Buchanan. I think you know that. I appreciate that you were willing to discuss these issues on the merits.

With the influx of illegal immigrants, I am convinced our agencies would be woefully understaffed to be able to process them in a proper manner, even if they did know who they were.

As for public education we're in total agreement.

That all sounds fine and well but first you have to get past the NEA and their entrenched collectivist agenda. Lots of luck on that. If they refuse to teach our own kids the true heritage and history of America how do can you expect that immigrants, who have their own multicultural baggage, will be taught anything about America's past.

Ours is NOT the responsibility to teach hordes of people coming across our borders illegally, anything, but how to leave. Legal immigration is not the problem or the issue.
