I would really like to know what people around the United States think.
I've heard of some small school systems that went from paying $1000 dollars a year for English as a second language support to $700,000 in a year or 2.
In my county, the sheriff's dept. was working with ICE( Immigration and customs enforcement) to deport convicted criminals who were also wanted for charges in Mexico. A local Hispanic alliance was quoted in the paper as saying they were outraged that they were not consulted!
Why would we consult a "support group" to uphold our laws? Why would anyone want the bad guys to stay around?
I have many friends and several family members from all over the world and I speak 3 languages. Diversity of cultures is a good thing, but some times we really clash. When my brother was married in Mexico city he had to pay bribes to 3 different government officials to get a marriage license. If that happened in the USA those 3 people would go to jail.
What do you think?
