No amnesty for ANYONE who is illegal. They should all be sought out and deported. If they have anchor babies then they should have a choice of leaving them here in orphanages, or taking them with them and denouncing their citizenship. Also that law should be changed.

I'm sure I'm going to be flamed for that comment. But I'm sick of hearing "It's for the children." Let their own countries take care of them. My county is opening up schools that have been closed and are over 60 years old. One busdriver told me that she has 67 children on her bus and 9 of them are white. The rest are hispanic and only a few speak English. She only has 5 stops. This is a small town but we have chickenplants for them to work.

Maybe we should tell Washington that the day they give amnesty that will be the day we ALL stop paying taxes. After all we are certainly not being represented. It's going to be hard for them to arrest us all.

So NO (after my rant) to any AMENESTY.

Your post reminds me of a photo shoot I did a few years ago. It was for a teacher of the year recipient nearby. She taught a primary grade and in her class, the children collectively spoke six languages! She refused to teach them bilingually, tho, speaking to them in English only. She told me that the children were picking up English rapidly and were doing well in their studies--even the Russian children. It was amazing to see--the children beaming as they read aloud in English.

That day forever cemented my belief that bilingual education is a tragedy and should be struck down immediately.

Are you in Gainesville? If so, they recently ran a news story on the graffiti showing up in the town, and how they were trying to clean it off the many buildings. Yet, they did not state that graffiti was not a problem prior to Gainesville becoming filled with illegal Mexicans.
