So many tax dollars, time and energy are spent on educating illegals. I just heard a rumor that one of our very BEST principals is being let go because his illegal immigrant populated school has low test scores. Well, duh!! Having spent many years in that particular school, I can tell you that the illegal kids do NOT speak English or have any desire to do so. They hang in gangs and cause chaos and disruption. They DO NOT assimilate. They are a drain on our taxes. Ok, rant over.

Too bad Buchanan doesn't just leave "race" out of it --- because he'd find a lot of support among many of our hispanics with regard to immigration. This was an interesting editorial in a border paper yesterday --- written by a teacher in about as close to a 100% school as there is ---

"Stated differently, the thrust of the law would bring farm workers and laborers out of the shadows of a dubious work force.

Several weeks back, I introduced the proposed law to students in my class, being careful not to color the facts with any of my opinions, and asked them to write about it.

The responses were singularly striking for the vehemence with which students opposed the president's proposal. Confining their arguments to the regional milieu, many students held forth the notion that the law would encourage more people from Juárez to cross into El Paso, with disastrous consequences.

There would be an increase in drug dealings and drug killings, the streets and highways would become unsafe with reckless drivers (no one follows any rules over there, one child wrote), and our city would become "simply chaos."

President Bush was doing this only to get Hispanic votes, one child railed, while another pointed out that Bush had stolen the election from Al Gore in Florida."

It's interesting when hispanic kids -just 5th graders -- growing up along the border who know what is coming over from Mexico can clearly see the dangers in unlimited immigration from that country but our leaders cannot.
