Are you people out of your minds? As a country we can not take care of the current legal citzens, stop the flow of illeagals and send them home!
I totally agree. We are so busy taking care of the needs of illegals that we don't take care of our LEGAL CITIZENS!!!
Send all the illegals back, along with their children. Then the bleeding hearts won't be able to try to get sympathy because families are being separated. If the parents were't here legally, that child should be counted as an illegal alien, also. Free up our Social Services and Emergency Rooms then the LEGAL CITIZENS will be able to get the services that they have a right to. We will also free up money because we won't have to spend it on students who don't speak, and their parents refuse to learn, English. Legal students would have more one on one with their instructures and not be held back because the non english student won't have to be tutored while the class is going on. We would only need to print instructions in ENGLISH as
ENGLISH is the official language of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
SEND THEM ALL BACK!!!!
