Back in the mid and late 70's we were living in Texas. The schools were definitely affected by the rising number of illegal children entering the public school system. We received a letter from the school system saying it was having to increase the number of kids in a class because they were required by federal law to provide Spanish speaking teachers for the non English speaking children. A number of beneficial and popular programs for students were reduced or eliminated because the system didn't have the funding for them because of having to hire these teachers.
