I live in San Diego and just this past week, over 1,000 teachers received their pink slip.
The State and Counties such as San Diego which is the second largest school dist. in Calif is mega millions in the hole. Just the San Diego City school dist. has a 80 million dollar shortfall.
Why? First, the legal tens of thousands of Mexican students, many if not most won’t learn English.
So we cater to them.
Most have a lack of interest in schooling and by the time they have done their damage, they usually leave school by early high school.
Now for the thousands of thousands of illegals in the San Diego school system: First many get a bogus address on this side of the border. Many cross the border each day, and others are just here.
So, over 1,000 teachers in San Diego who just lost their
jobs have the illegals to thank.
It is the same story with hospitals here, social services, etc.
I think all the border states and some away from the border have the same issues- in varying degrees of course. I am sure California is really feeling the squeeze, just due to the sheer numbers. We have the same issues of students that are not interested in learning English, and end up dropping out that are not only a big drain financially but also are one of the main reasons that schools have a hard time educating the other students. If a teacher has say 10 students in the class that don’t speak English, and have a spotty school record meaning they are way behind in any language it will be really hard for that teacher to teach to their level as well as the other students. It is insane and I truly wish our politicians would wake up.
Excellent summary of the problem that you’ve actually observed. In ‘06 Robert Rector of Heritage published a thorough and scholarly paper detailing how the massive illegal invasion - if not curtailed - could within 20 years bring down the whole cultural and economic infrastructure of the nation. By the way, my favorite “sub teacher” for Rush is Roger Hedgecock from your area.
