The leaders of this country are failing its citizens.

Headlines like this are Exhibit A in why guns and ammo sales are through the roof.

All of Texas has 70% or some schools?

[Lokibob]

So, it is a private school set up to teach legal visaed Mexican kids. What is the big deal???

In every foreign country in the world there are American private schools set up to teach our kids.

“All of Texas has 70% or some schools?”

\None of the above; It is a private school in El Paso set up to teach Mexican kids. Not at all like the headline says.

No big deal at all unless they receive ANY state or federal funding. Then it IS a big deal.

[Lokibob]

And where did YOU read it was government funded. I did not read that.

[Prov3456]

I have heard much about the Lydia Patterson Institute through the years, through the United Methodist Church. I believe it is funded and run through that denomination.

As a Texan, I have no problem with this—if it’s not funded by US tax payers.

[Kozak]

Where did YOU read I said that? I said IF they received any government funding.

Ted Poe, the best Texas conservative in Congress did a TV
special about people living in Mexico sending their get to
school in El Paso.

He was called a raciest.

Note: This is Public Schools and at least some of
the people are US Citizens that do not pay school taxes.

Looks like Arpaio is finally getting some help.

$1.6 mil OK’d for Arpaio’s illegal-immigrant program

[snip]The Republican-majority board accepted the money in a 3-1 vote. Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox voted to reject the funding, and Supervisors Andy Kunasek, Max Wilson and Fulton Brock voted to accept it. Supervisor Don Stapley was absent.

“What kind of message are we sending?” Wilcox asked. “We are releasing a reign of terror in our community.”

Kunasek responded by saying there is a reign of terror brought on by human smugglers and drophouses, and that “it’s important that those crimes be investigated . . . this money that the legislature has appropriated will go towards helping liberate and help save the people from a life in bondage.”
