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…
