LOL. I know nothing of Connie Morris other than she's a Nazi who wants to deprive illegal immigrant children of an education because she is scared of them. LOL.

Actually, I think we should not leave the kids at home to fend for themselves. If we are going to tolerate illegal immigration, we can't punish innocent children if for no other reason than our own selfish interests. Nothing says "criminal recruit" like a bunch of latchkey illiterates who cannot even speak the language of the land. Still, I think Morris speaks for the concerns of many Kansans -- obviously -- and she deserves to be heard. I also think we should either enforce immigration laws or change the laws. Otherwise, why should law-abiding immigrants continue to respect the law? However, I am in no way an expert on the immigration subject. I can't fight every battle.

I see both sides of this. (Rare for me.) I agree fully with what you're saying, but otoh Morris is a former public school teacher who dealt with this issue. This is why I need to read her book to understand her side.

I doubt that many kids are left home alone. Mexican families take care of their children, and their elders, better than most. And it is usually the kids who learn English first, often acting as interpreters for their parents. It is easier for the kids to adjust than their parents. Some parents send their kids here with older siblings, but they are usually always looked after.

While most people out here think immigration laws should be enforced, and that schools shouldn't be in the position of having to enroll illegal children, it has little to do with denying them an education. I think a lot of people may have voted for Morris because they are tired of all the liberal crap. Not because they thought she would crack down on illegal kids in our schools.
