“I recently received a forwarded email that purportedly was from a government school teacher from California lamenting the massive waste in the government run school system. I had no issue with the accuracy of the waste report, but the teacher then launch into an attack on illegal immigrants as one of the causes of this problem. He also said that an entitlement mentality had created a Juvenal delinquency problem within the schools. This was again blamed on the immigrant children. And then finally he/she dismissed a guest worker program as a solution to illegal immigration.”
“I know there are billions of dollars wasted in our government schools, especially in the Los Angeles area where the average cost per student per year, when all costs are taken into account, is $25,000+. The government run school system must be abolished if we have any long term hope of having a decently educated public. Our founders knew that a well-educated populace was required to sustain our Republic.”
“However, whoever this unidentified teacher is, he or she is dead wrong about the guest worker program.”
“I would point out it is NOT the fault of immigrants, illegal or not, that there is free food, free or subsidized housing, free medical care, etc., etc., etc.”
“That’s being done by Congress and our state legislatures.”

a Juvenal delinquency problem within the schools
I concur; these children being raised without Latin lessons are savages.
We also need to recognize that the U.S. farm subsidy program has helped U.S. farmers produce corn cheaply which is then sold to Mexico below the cost of local Mexican grown corn. This has resulted in the reduction of Mexican farm workers who then head north looking for work. It has been estimated that 2 million workers have been put out of work because of the U.S. farm subsidy program.
Mark is absolutely correct.
I’m always amazed at people that think this way. Of course they might have a point that could be used with any government program.
Schools don’t teach because they have too many kids…our welfare system is broke because we have too many poor people…Social Security would be solvent if it weren’t for all those old people…
The list could be longer, lol.
