Once the illegals pull out it will be better for Schools,Hospitals and Welfare systems.
and once they cut administration to the bone our kids will have lots of money left over so the teachers do not have to buy out of thier own pocket.
Two very good points.
They can save big bucks if they stop providing free food and concentrate on educating in school. Make the family responsible for their children, in this way we can help eliminate obesity to most of the kids attending our local schools.
We will DEPORT YOUR CHILDREN even if born here. The 14th Amendment does NOT SAY if your mother was here illegally.....
STOP BUILDING SCHOOLS. Get rid of Class size reduction. Teach em to read at 4-5 years old and stop all those special ed programs--unless the students are mentally handicapped.
Nevada school districts receive 24th (of 51 states) funding from state sources plus all the local money. ENOUGH ALREADY. Put teachers on full-time year-round contracts--2080 hours a year not 1472 hours. Teachers, GET OVER IT.
LA County schools spend over 18k per pupil. And score among the worst schools in the country.
Today, the LA Teachers Union are protesting the LA Times for calling for profeciency testing for teachers. See how that works?
Private high achieve schools CA attacks graduate successful students at less that 1500 per pupil.
How come? Well we can only guess.
Nevadans need to realize that we are a battle ground state for immigration. There is an invasion not only of people coming from other countries, but an invasion to the hearts, and minds as well. We cannot afford to continue to say "these are just Children; it's not their fault that they are here". Where and when do their parents take responsibility? When and where do the prospective Governments of the illegal alien take responsibility for their Citizens? Why should the burden be on the Citizens of the United States? I want use the same term as Senator Reid when he said "the war is lost"! But there is a war, illegal aliens know it, the Children of illegal aliens know it, American Citizens are just becoming aware of it; Politicians like Senator Reid have used the Public as Toys for far too long. I don't want one penny of my tax dollar going into a system that up holds, and support this invasion of illegal immigrants. American Citizens better get involved, I love all Children, but I don't want them breaking into my house, what is the difference, if a Parent brings their children with them if the parents break into your house, what will the police do, they would, or should arrest the Parents, and detain the Children until the courts decide, so the American people should decide. Most of us want illegal aliens deported; they are the responsibility or their parents, and the Government of their prospective countries.
