What's your position on educating illegal alien kids?Deport them. They shouldn't be in our schools anyway. Not that I would deprive any child of an education but I would be swearing to serve the legal residents of this county. After all, THEY are the ones who are providing the tax money to keep the schools going.
Look at it this way: America is the stewardship of her citizens, just as Mexico is the stewardship of hers. We have to look after our own and we should expect Mexico to look after its own. That's not being "cruel": that's actually being quite Christian. But our system is stretched to the breaking point as it is from our trying to take care of EVERYONE crying for us to spend money on them.
That may not be a popular sentiment and I may lose votes from it, but that's what I believe.
Isn't that exactly what happens when you doom a child to government-run schools?
Rhetorical question, really. I saw your statement on what you will do for your own children. Good for you.
And good for you for having the guts to put that out in the open, although I'm sure it has netted you more than a little flaming vitriol from the sputtering mouths of tubby soccer moms and hordes of teacher-lemmings.
Good luck, I'll tell everyone I know who lives in Rockingham County to vote for you. I think you're nuts for even entertaining the possbility of serving, but God bless you for it anyway. I'm allowed to say that, by the way, having served my time in the meat grinder.
Here in Wake Co. the school board wanted $1.5 Billion (B) for new construction.
It has been whittled down to an $850 Million(M) bond issue.
The stats tell us that 54% of the new students are/expected to be Hispanic (Mexican, and likely illegal).
That is about $450 Million in construction costs alone that can be attributed to the illegal influx!!
And my liberal relative claims that illegals are an economic plus.
A sincere best of luck in your election.
