The United States have been over run by illegal immigrants from many different countries. estimates range from about 13 million to about 20 million illegal aliens live int he United States.
Most illegal immigrants come here to start a new life for themselves and only themselves. These illegal immigrants are being totally selfish and don't look in the future.
If an illegal immigrant have children, their children are almost totally screwed. First, the kids have to learn English. Fine, but they have to learn English extremely fast if they are going to succeed in school. In Las Vegas and the school district, CCSD, the kid has to learn English all the while they have to learn how to read, write, do complex math problems, learn science and participate in elective classes. This is almost impossible to do and this is why many children of illegal immigrants drop out of school. Drop out of school and you are hurting. Very limited jobs are out there for dropouts, especially those who are illegal immigrants. This can lead to a life of crime and all this is possible because the parents of these students came here illegally selfishly.
Worse hit are the children with severe disabilities who are children of illegals. Even though these children need extensive care, especially after they leave school, they get nothing. If a child of an illegal immigrant has a severely disability such as mental retardation, physical disability and other severe disabilities, they will receive education through the local school district. But once the child is too old for school, in CCSD, it is when they turn 22 years old, then the child has nothing. The child cannot get vocational services like going to Opportunity Village, a local sheltered workshop, or getting any other service. The child is basically stuck at home and not doing very much. As a teacher of severely disabled, I find this to be very sad for the child. And the cause for the child staying at home: The illegal immigrant parents who are being selfish and thinking of themselves and not of their children.
If a child wants to go college, well they can't because of their illegal immigrant parents. A student who goes all the way through high school, gets good grades and stays out of trouble and gets rewarded with what? Nothing for all the hard work. They are unlikely to go to college unless their parents are rich because there is no financial aid available to kids of illegal immigrants and the kids have to pay out of state tuition, if they lucky.
So, why do illegal immigrant parents come to the U.S.? Not because of their children. Not because they care about their disabled child. No, they want to make as much money as they can and screw the children. If they get caught, well, that's the cost of doing business in the U.S. when you are an illegal immigrant.
So, who do you deport. Clearly, you can't kick everyone who is in the country illegally out of the country immediately. But you can have a priority list and here is mine:
1. Any illegal who commits a crime, from misdemeanor to felony need to be the first out. No exceptions.
2. Those who receive social services like welfare, section 8 housing, Medicare and food stamps.
3. Those who receive free medical care from local hospitals.
4. Anyone who receives a minor traffic infraction ticket, like speeding, running a stop light etc.
5. Those with children in a school district
6. Anybody else who is left.
I have worked with children of illegal immigrants and I don't treat those kids any differently than those kids who are here legally. For the most part, I don't even know who is illegal or not and nor do I care if a child is a children is illegal or not, I don't treat them any different than any other child. But, unfortunately, their parents do not care about their children, at least in the long term, which is why I don't care about illegal immigrants. The illegal immigrant who crossed the border are just thinking of themselves, not their child or children.

Would those impoverished, disabled kids be better off if there parents stayed in Mexico? Would they have access to services there that they cannot access in the U.S.?
ReplyDeleteYour argument is valid only if you assume that the country the illegal immigrants are leaving has a sufficient social safety net and economic opportunity to take care of those kids you're worried about.
I have only known one illegal immigrant (that I'm aware of), but he was sending money back to his family. Of the immigrants who are here legally, most of THEM are also sending money back to their families. So I'm not so sure about the selfish part.
ReplyDeleteJill, you are talking about gobvernment taking care the kids. From what I know of Mexico, from first hand experience, the family is very important and if the family had a disabled child, the family and friends will help take of the child.
ReplyDeleteTo James, the fact he was away from his family is also selfish. Yes, he was provifding money, but how about the other fatherly duties?
Family values means starving together, I guess.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I've never heard of anybody starving to death in Mexico or Central America. Have you?
ReplyDeleteREVEALED ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION? JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
ReplyDeleteILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS NOT ABOUT RACE, BIGOTRY OR ANY DISCRIMINATION ON THIS SUFFOCATING ISSUE. PLAIN AND SIMPLE, IT'S ABOUT MONEY! MONEY OUR COUNTRY DOESN'T HAVE ANYMORE TO SUPPORT MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL FOREIGNERS. IT’S ABOUT THE POLITICIANS PANDERING TO GET VOTES OR IMPORT CHEAP LABOR AND EXPLOIT THEM FOR BUSINESS OWNERS? WE NEED A MANDATED E-VERIFY PROGRAM, TO REDUCE ILLEGAL WORKERS. REMEMBER THIS INFORMATION WILL NEVER BE REVEALED BY THE LEFT WING PRESS? THE OVERWHELMING LIBERAL MEDIA WILL NOT EVEN LET YOU COMMENT.
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF HONEST LEGAL PEOPLE FROM SOUTH OF THE BORDER, WITH GENERATIONS OF FAMILIES LIVING HERE IN HARMONY. THE MAJORITY OF LEGAL MINORITY ETHNIC GROUPS WANT IMMIGRATION LAWS ENFORCED?
