take away the education from the town next to you, you take away their jobs/livelihood. crime will increase which means the american town will have to increase spending on law enforcement prisons etc etc

Yea little boy, I'm the idiot. Go tune into Rush, shut down your brain, and get back to your B&W white world. Leave the thinking to people that are better equipped to handle it ;^)

Yes, indeed you ARE.

Who's taking away education? Mexico doesn't have schools? I bet these schools will teach the kids in their native language as well. People using their own schools? What a novel idea.

are you saying that the Mexican schools are as good as the American schools? (honestly i wouldnt know)

I would figure that if the mexican schools were in fact as good as the american ones, then there wouldnt be a problem right?

I don't recall saying that. Can you point to where I did?

Let's say hypothetically the Mexican schools are ten fold better than the US schools, should American kids get to illegally attend them? What would you expect the Mexicans to do in that situation?

Then by all means we better let them go to college for free as well, and guarantee them good jobs so they don't turn to crime.

i say give them houses and cars, too.

oh, and free health care and social security.

but we can't tax them because they don't live here.

slippery slope blah blah blah

slippery slope? 😕

that's one we've already fallen down.

Because securing the border's worked so well thus far? I guess you're a proponent of the "war on drugs" also?
 
If they aren't supporting the schools with taxes, they don't get to go. I don't see what the problem is.

I LOVE immigrants. I want as many as we can get. Legal ones who want to become part of this society and add their own worth to it.

Edit: oh, and this is totally P&N bait.

Yeah, we have the same thing in the U.S. with parents looking to send their kids to better schools faking their residency to send their kids to an adjacent school district.
Not to mention claiming residence in a different state to get the lower in state tuition.

You're right. Certainly not 400 in a district, but there are a few.

Hmm. The 400 mentioned was not the number of kids actually enrolled from Mexico. It was a report on the number of kids actually crossing the bridge with backpacks.

So, we don't know how many go to the school district in question. Nor how many actually cross over the entire border.

Quite frankly if the entire problem is 400 kids nationwide, then this is really not an issue at all, except if they are all attending one school district.

Its amazing how the haters come out in force when any story that fits their racist agenda is posted. No matter how little the problem, nor how little evidence is actually in the article.

a bargain? yea for them they pay no taxes at all! maybe you need to go back to school and get on top of the bargain education you failed at.

I don't see what race has to do with this at all, I think you're using it as a scapegoat to attempt and discredit anyone who doesn't agree with you.

The actual number is really irrelevant as this is a principle issue. It would be the same on the US/Canada border or the French/German border or any other border.

I think you're the hater, who has so much hate they can't think reasonably.

in related news, 75% of high school students in oklahoma don't know George Washington was the first president so im not really sure our education is even worth stealing

http://www.news9.com/global/story.asp?s=11141949

holy fuck. i weep for our future.

does OK have a state standardized test? if they do i put the blame square on teachers teaching the test so their school will get a good average score and continue to get money.

 
"The district tried posting a photographer to snap students at the crossing but has since stopped that because it was difficult to identify the students"

haha proof all mexicans look alike! *dons flame suit* 😛

I also think parents should have to prove the legal residency of the kids they enroll in US schools.

Around here, if a parent wants their child to attend a school in a different district, they have to prove that the child has residency in that district, is at a minimum, has "after-school care" in that district, or in some other way, is entitled to attend that district. You don't just get to "pick and choose" where your child goes to school, except by where you choose to live.

No, the prez of MSNBC is really good friends with Obama and likes to stroke his pen0r every chance he can get.

It's Texas: That's what guns are for.
 
Eh the simplest solution is to bill the mexican half of the city for the tuition. I certainly wouldn't want my tax money being handed over to the Mexican side... no pay, no play.

Nice that they are going to do something about it, though, if it turns out the kids are not U.S. citizens. Wonder how many they will actually find, since the story is not about finding them, but about deciding to check and see if they are doing it.

You know, I have heard this line a million times before. However, when it came to real life I *NEVER* met one person who was actually able to claim residence for in state tuition.

There were only 2 situations where people I knew got in state tuition:
1. Bought a house and got in state for his senior year of college (Had to live in the house for more than a year and prove they paid taxes in the state)
2. Had a relative that already lived in the state.

I used to always hear how easy this was, but when it got down to it nobody really was able to do this. Can anyone else here prove to me that this happens as often as people like to say?
