"If people come here legally and learn english that's fine, I have no problem with that, but when they come here illegally, enroll their kids in government schools they don't pay a dime for and my tax dollars are paying for illegal kids to learn english, yeah, it upsets me.
If any American went to Mexico illegally and tried to live there, they would be kicked out/killed. They wouldn't pay for us to learn spanish, or speak spanish to help us like people do here. They come here because it's so easy to get welfare, free schooling, etc. It's insane."
Good lord. Do you think every Mexican is some dirty, trigger-happy Narco?
And really, public schools are for everybody. Old people and people who had no intention of having kids pay in to fund public schools and most do not have a problem with it because it is for the greater good. It's one of the reason people from all of the world come here with their families because they believe they are giving their kid a good chance to succeed.
'Illegal kids', so you think these kids have a choice. Actually if there was a truly Dickensian story of a kid who crossed the border to attend school for a better life, I'd have no problem.
Again, even your racist, classist, ethnocentric political party is trying to walk back using the term 'illegal'. It is a hostile phrase and at this point I wouldn't be surprised if you thought every brown person with a Hispanic accent you crossed you believed to be 'illegal'. How'd you feel about Sergio Romo, of your San Francisco Giants, wearing this?
You also assume the immigrant problem is strictly with Mexico. As somebody who worked in a local Congressional office. One out of hundreds of case studies had a Mexican facing deportation because of lack of papers. The rest of them were African and from South East Asia. I also have no problem with those people trying to have a better life for them and their families here if they are, and most of them are, law abiding citizens.
