I know this post will probably anger some people, but that truly is not my intent. No matter which side you are on , stop to think about some of the other potential problems with taking in as many illegal immigrants as wants to come here. Most of these kids are not infants or toddlers. They are school aged and above. I don't honestly know if they are problem makers or not, but according to a couple of articles I read, a lot of them were problem makers which is why they were sent here. No, I don't know if that is true any more than anyone knows if it isn't. But suppose it is not true---at the very least, all of these kids as well as all the others that will follow will need to be educated. Our schools are over-flowing now, and as much as the teachers may try, they can only be stretched so thin. You try to add 3,4,5,100 times as many kids and teachers will quit just like doctors and nurses did when the ACA started. You may have the most dedicated perople at their job, but there are limits to what they can stand. Not to mention that the only way many teachers now can teach is to provide so many of the needed supplies themselves out of their own money. They certainly would not be able to afford to teach with so many extra kids. Classrooms-so crowded that in some places, kids are having to sit on the floor in the classrooms now-and yes, I read that in our local paper about 4 years ago, I won't even talk about the cost, but I hope everyone saved a lot of money when they were working, or are willing to go back to work. And this is a very small part of the problems. You may as well forget about anything except the bare basics in school-no money for any arts programs, or fitness. No money for the sports programs which often help underpriviledged kids have a chance to go to college, etc, etc. I could name so much more. And that is the good part--if these are problem kids, it could happen that bullies and gangs will make it so that not only the kids will be afraid to go to school, but the teachers as well. When you take problem people and change their location, you also take the problems with them. And yes, kids can be just as mean and violent as some adults. Public schools could actually cease to be because kids and teachers might be afraid to go to school. One last thing to think about is your grandchildren, or your great grandchildren. If you let all the illegals come into this country that want to , and right now the majority of them seem to be Hispanic, (and I have nothing against Hispanics), then you can bet that your grandkids or great grand kids will be speaking Spanish. The whole concept of school as we knew it would be gone. Think your grandkids will thank you?
