Sorry if you feel insulted, Jorgelito....but I would suggest it is one dimensional to describe "them" as parasitic disease minded criminals, who should be shot at the border before they come here to get drunk, rob stores and kill our kids...because they are lazy and dont want to contribute, dont want to learn english and want us to accomodate their every need while they wave the Mexican flag.
What exactly is the "basic argument and premise" that you have laid out? That illegal immigration is wrong? I agree. So what do you propose we do?
Or that bilingual education is somehow a special accomodation to recent hispanic immigrants? I disagree...we have a long history of bilingual education.
How does the kind of rhetoric i cited above lead to a productive discussion of solutions?
