Great Idea!  In addition to that, in regards to education, they, and their children cannot attend a public school for free.  They must pay a tuition fee, yes, even for a public school since they entirely don't meet the "residency" status.  No free lunch or breakfast for them and as far as "after school program" they may not participate.  If they wish to participate, they must pay an enrollment fee, monthly fee, etc.  Those programs are provided by taxpayers, and the people who voted to increase the school budget wanted to help the LEGAL children, not the ILLEGAL children.  Americans can't afford it.  Look at it this way, if I were to attend a University at a different State where I live, I'm sure I am expected to pay extra since I don't meet the "residency" status they required. Same logic.\n\nbtw,\n\nIf you're against illegal immigration, please click on the link below.

A normal healthy economy does not depend on immigration. Mass immigration normally does more harm than good by promoting social unrest, breaking infrastructure, destablizing population, and increasing poverty. Immigration requires three conditions to be a good thing: 1) there is somewhere for those people to go, 2) there is something for them to do and someone to pay them for it, and 3) they are willing to assimilate into the existing culture. Without those three then you have high crime, poverty, and/or invasion.

Not exactly.  The school curricula are limited so as not to offend one group or another, because school boards don't like controversy--it isn't good for their continued employment.  A friend of mine who used to work for Holt, Rinehart & Winston talked every once in a while about everything they weren't allowed to put in the textbooks because someone in Kansas or somewhere might get upset--and since it's cheaper to publish one book for the whole country than it is to specialize them by state, the attitudes of people in one state can easily influence what goes into textbooks across the country.\n\nThis limits the amount of real education that takes place, which in turn can keep kids from being exposed to intelligent, reasoned debate.  This makes it harder for them to think clearly when they grow up, if they're not learning it at home.\n\nSo yes, history does appear to be badly taught in public schools, and part of it is intentional.  But I think the gullibility and mindless consumerism is a side effect, not the primary cause.

Sure i'll add one. They send their kids to our schools and we have to accomendate their Spanish kids. We have to hire Spanish speaking teachers. We have to do things their way. Illegals are such a pain in theass.

The public education system really does a number on what kids think without teaching basic English, basic economics, and basic citizenship.  So the worst exploiters are our public school teachers.

If all parts are implemented, I think it will make illegal immigration much harder to get away with in the future.  However, legal immigration will be greatly increase. I guess the net difference will be that it will be easier to keep out criminals and terrorist suspects, and will be easier to track and police immigrants in our country.\n\nMy problem is the gap in time before the infrastructure is in place.

Education, YES!!  Education benefits the young children of America.  By not offering education to everyone, we create an underclass of lower educated people who will have to live off the government in the future.  Essentially, it is an investment.  Do we spend the money now and create a society that has the job skills needed to survive, or do we support them when they are older and can not find a means of support?\n\nHealthcare is another issue.  Illegal immigrants deserve the same rights as everyone else.  No more and no less.  Since the average American does not receive free care from the state, neither should immigrants.  No offense to all of the immigrants out there, but fair is fair. \n\nIf the United States would stop spending money to bomb Iraq, the government could possibly provide health care and education to all of us.

See the problem here is you should be asking why illegal immigrants are allowed to be here? Yes a lot of our ancestors were immagrants, but this is now... Why are there illegal immagrant children in US schools expecially if they can't speek english well, how much can they learn like that? But ultimantly you can blame the politicians they always promise better education until they're elected then it gets pushed to the side.

You are going to have to define your terms 'target population' versus overall society. I think if passed it would harden class lines, reduce services (including education) thereby reducing upward mobility, create a larger impoverished class, and would increase social tensions and resentments immeasurably.\n\nI am not sure if that addresses your question.

Pros:\nAllows lower income people to send their kids to private school.\nAllows parents to choose where they send their kids to school\nRewards good schools, punishes bad schools\n\nCons:\nTakes money out of an already cash-strapped public school system\nPublic schools are not allowed to turn down students, so students who aren't accepted by private schools will be stuck in even worse public schools.

In one way you are right. It is true technology has pretty much made American students... dumber. One evidence of this is our present and our history. Many immigrants do come to the U.S. to strive for a better education which was never provided in their home land, but there are also those who do not aim for that education. There are many who just go to school to cause chaos and distractions for other students, and get involved in gangs and of the likes. Simply, immigrants aren't really to blame.

Students change school systems and face new requirements (testing...).\nAlso the language factor. Some schools work very well with students from different countries and in some areas they don't know what to do.\nAnother problem is that some students come from very poor areas and they didn't have good schooling. Students with good schooling learn English earlier and better.

No.\n\nAll states are legally required to provide a free, appropriate public education to students.

It hurts our children. Our children start of competitive with other nations and a young age, but the longer they stay in our public school system the dumber they get. \n\nIf I ever have children, they will never step foot into a public school.

It would create a huge underclass in the US.  This would in turn be a huge burden for the American tax payer.  The country would probably collapse.  Many educated Americans would move out of the country to protect their money.  I know I would.\n\nCheck out WWW.Numbersusa.com
