And that's just the American citizens I'm talking about. I don't see anyone whining about Americans who commit violent crimes and get hurt in the process getting free medical care in the ER courtesy of the taxpayer. Well actually I do. When the criminal is brown or black, they are criticized. When the criminal is white "boys will be boys" or some such, most of the time.
Funny how prejudice works. Everything is working as intended, until "other" does it. Then the system is bad.

Why have we rolled out the welcome mat to every other poor person on the planet when we have such failures like this?
This should be the nations highest priority. Why isn't it. Well it is not because of lack of funding. Every student in a failing school should have school choice.
But that will never happen because it is much harder to play the race card for political purposes when the disparities of education and standard of living is eliminated between the races.
