Uhhh...and this is a bad thing?

If you are here illegally either go back or take the steps to become a citizen, pretty simple

I, for one, feel sorry for the children involved. They are the ones that are harmed by this whole thing and are affected in a big way. What type of education do they get here, a good one. What type of education, if any, is to be had in Mexico? While I will stand by the law, I truly believe that there are ways to attack illegal immigration where the children could benefit and not be condemned to a life of inopportunity and struggle. It breaks my heart really when I think about a child raised in the U.S. for ten plus years having to go back to Mexico, a place they know nothing about. The **** government sees it from a political standpoint and not a humanity standpoint. Adults make the decisions that can affect a child's life for forever. I am not one to hold a child back. Mexico needs to get a handle on it's drug traffiking and its corruption, so that their children can have a brighter tomorrow.

if their parents came here, and had them here illegally, and are not paying for their way. Guess what I feel no sorrow or sympathy. like said before I pay and will pay my childs way. How is it fair that the illegals get it all for free, and we pay their way and our childs way, and they actually get advantages/breaks for being a minority.

throwing the illegals out and having less kids in the class room will give my child more constructive time in class and a better student to teacher ratio.

Sorry but in todays world I have to look out for me and my own. No one else will! they only look out for the illegals. WOULD HATE TO STEP ON THEIR TOES!

I thought we were the minority? Wheres my free stuff? **** I cant even get afordable health Ins. All I need is blood pressure meds and it cost me $100. every time the doc wants to see me to refill. I asked if I could be billed and they thought I was out of my mind to ask.

I will agree with some of what you said and I do agree with the law. My problem with the whole thing is that a kid has no choice where he/she is born or raised. They have to rely solely on their parents who may or may not be good parents. A child cannot choose who their parents are and may have to suffer for it on a daily basis. The kids probably think that they are US citizens. They will have all kinds of trouble back on the dirt streets in Mexico through no fault of their own. I hope that Mexico straightens itself out soon.

I do see where you are coming from...in all honesty it's about the same as feeling sorry for the kids that are home when their home is raided because daddy is a crack dealer. You do have to feel sorry for the kids because they don't have a say in the deal. It's an unfortunate deal for sure but the illegals still need to go...or like others said...there is a process to become legal and then you wouldn't have to worry a bit about getting picked up. Just my $.02

I predict that at some point this thread will get whacked!

That's what keeps happening! Just like our Govt. the people talk & no one listens they just turn their back on us.

Come on election time. Maybe we can make a "CHANGE" for ourselves this next time around!!!

[Atfulldraw]

well, sometimes we do get a little out of line.

I've been guilty myself, at least once.....

If Mexico gave a hoot about their people and their children this wouldn't be an issue.

No. No back turning goin on here.

I cant speak for everybody, but I am concerned about what is goin on. Very concerned! I just choose not to discuss it here, as this is not the place for it, nor does it ever turn out good. We wish this to remain a friendly place to visit and threads like these always go South.

Always.

I think this one has been fairly civil Me and RedneckArcher can see eachother's point. It is all good.

sorry about the misunderstanding on my part as to where i stand on this issue. i missed the class on writing. we [the wife and i] pay just at 5000.00 a year in federal tax. we have a home but no children. so we pay a school tax. i just payed, and have been paying for someone to go to school that i do not know, do not care about, and does not belong in this country. if the burden on tax payers per state is say, 4.5 billion. there is 50 states in the union. that has a total of 225 billion per year. this may be a high number, or it may be to low. it is unclear for a reason. how many are in this country? will the current president give a blanket for amnesty for all? if they fine freedom will they understand it? will they work to keep freedom the way it is today? or will they bring the way of life that most run here to get away from? hope that this clears up how i feel. thanks. i do not have hard feelings toward the misunderstanding at all.

Spot on!! I've been a teacher for over 10 years and will say this- I have NEVER had an 'illegal' child I didn't like! Great students who try hard, are respectful, and want to be successful. I would like to thank all of the tax payers that pay for their education.
