Comments on: Mexican Kids Daily Cross Texas Border for Free U.S. Paid Education http://www.bloggernews.net/110496 High-quality English language analysis and editorial writing on the news.

The people of Roma and Ciudad Miguel Aleman are one people. They have crossed that river for thousands of years. Then some bureaucrat draws a line and says don't cross it. What are they supposed to do? What would you do? The problem with your argument is if those kids don't get an education they will someday cross anyway for menial work. They will cross undocumented to feed their families and people like you will bash them for that as well. The Mexican government is corrupt. It has serious problems, but so does Uncle Sam. The only people who pay to educate those children are the people who own property and pay taxes to that district. I personally think it's a great thing. It is what a Christian people should do. Your hatred disgusts me. I’m weary of this garbage. The people of Roma and Ciudad Miguel Aleman are one people. They have crossed that river for thousands of years.

Kids are our future. Have we overlooked that our tax money also pays for the buildings, homes and schools we bombed in Iraq to build them again for terrorists. Not only that but the troops killed down their and people just upset about kids crossing over to american schools to get a better education.WTF Why talk about kids trying to better their education.

I was hoping you wouldn't mind answering a few questions. Is this situation still going on in Roma? Has anything changed since late 2007? Or has there been any promise of change by the state or federal gov't? Just curious...a reply would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Hi Mr. Hudson,

I know where a few Mexican kids are that go to U.S. schools, all on the taxpayers' dimes. They get taught in "English as a Second Language" (ESL) classes because they can't function in the schools with just Spanish. Probably all kinds of freebies like immunizations too, just because they're in the United States. They're *MY* kids... They're *MEXICAN CITIZENS* because that is where our family is in the *legal* immigration process... I'm one of the taxpayers, living in this school district for the last 38 years, even attending the same schools my kids do now. Damn straight the schools are going to teach my kids. And if my kids can't be taught in English the school better teach them in their native language of Spanish (easier for my school district, so rather lucky the language wasn't something like East Timorean). Schools can't inquire to a child's citizenship because there can be fully *legal* immigrants that live in a U.S. school district, needing to be taught. Don't like the facts that my kids aren't U.S. citizens and attending school in the U.S.? Fine, provide them (and my wife) the U.S. citizenship that we are working *legally* to attain. Quit being so anti-*immigrant* (If you don't make the distinction between legal and illegal immigration then you are anti-immigrant)... If you want to stop taxpayer drains, stop a war or something. Whoops, that's the same war I was notified to deploy for a fifth tour in that area, while my family *waited* to be legally admitted to the United States. As a soldier and sailor over the last 22 years I think I have earned the ability to have my family in the United States, with the kids attending school here. As a general nature, schools have a better "ROI" (Return On Investment) than wars anyway... Damn schools not able to check citizenship status, and when they try this (http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=662407) happens!!!
