WASHINGTON - U.S. fourth-graders have lost ground in reading ability compared with kids around the world, according to results of a global reading test.

Test results released Wednesday showed U.S. students, who took the test last year, scored about the same as they did in 2001, the last time the test was given — despite an increased emphasis on reading under the No Child Left Behind law.

Still, the U.S. average score on the Progress in International Reading Literacy test remained above the international average. Ten countries or jurisdictions, including Hong Kong and three Canadian provinces, were ahead of the United States this time. In 2001, only three countries were ahead of the United States.

The 2002 No Child Left Behind law requires schools to test students annually in reading and math, and imposes sanctions on schools that miss testing goals.

The U.S. performance on the international test of 45 nations or jurisdictions differed somewhat from results of a U.S. national reading test, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, known as the nation's report card. Fourth-grade reading scores rose modestly on the most recent version of that test, taken earlier this year and measuring growth since 2005. During the previous two-year period, scores were flat.

How many of our 4th graders are enrolled in ESL classes? Could help explain the low scores.

Or does much of the dialog about immigration into America seem to have a huge racist bias? There seems to be little consideration for a distinction between legal and illegal immigration, and a lot of bleating about being "real" Americans.

Pretty much all the people in America had ancestors who immigrated within the last 300 years or so.

You are the first to remind us that not all illegals come from one place and not all illegals are one race. Then you call us racists when we speak out against illegals. You contradict your argument with this. So please explain how people are racist for not supporting illegal immigration if not all illegals are one race? Or do you believe that illegals for the most part are one race?

I've heard several people on here saying how illegal immigration is not the only problem we have with immigration but apparently legal immigration needs some fixing too.

Some folks say that our current wave of immigration, both legal and illegal, is at a level were we are receiving a bit too many immigrants at once who aren't really making an effort to assimilate (we already know the vast majority of illegals have no intention of assimilating in the first place) and that it's really beginning to burden us when it comes to accomodating them.

One major proposal is to restrict legal immigration by a variety of ways including limiting the number of visa's we give out each year, ending chain migration for sure, and other such means etc, for a period of time so we can assimilate the number of immigrants (again inluding legal) we have year before we accept another wave of immigration.

So what do you think? does legal immigration need more restriction as well? Yes? No? Why?

Thanks.

I have heard for many years liberals preaching cultural diversity if so great but the truth is that when you bring in diverse cultures they only hate you and want what you have worked hard for all your life. I believe that the hispanic movement at the Mexican border will only bring America grief and a total collapse.

Do you know our history? It is because We Mexicans are Indians or Native Americans and we had been in this continent since it origins. We were created by God and this is our land. We belong here. Despite Mexico City was the capital of New Spain and Mexico Criollo, and despite we had an Austro-Hungarian Empire. We Mexicans claim to be Aztecs , Toltecs and Mayas. We are mexicans though, We might be wite, black , red or yellow, but we still are Mexicans.
We might be rich or poor, documented or undocumented, anglos or hispanics,.. does not matter. We are Mexicans.
We might be Mexican-Americans.
So we are America, got it?

The bi-partisan SAVE Act (H.R. 4088) with 112 co-sponsors in the House is enjoying so much broad bipartisan support, that House Speaker Pelosi may feel pressured enough to allow it to come to a vote after Congress returns in January. With a similar version just introduced in the Senate, this bill to severely limit illegal immigration may be Congress's best chance to achieve substantial immigration reform with this Congress. The link to the bill is below, please read it before commenting so you can at least form an intelligent response.

Surely there is a law that could be passed, that would make the consequences so unpleasant that the illegals would make haste to get out of our country.

This will take a minute to read and I ask if you do not care to read please this in full please answer another question.Parkland Hospital, hasalmost 16,000 new babies arriving each year. (That’s almost 44 per day – every day).
A recent patient survey indicated that 70 percent of the women who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal immigrants. , that’s 11,200 anchor babies born every year just in Dallas. The hospital spent $70.7 million delivering 15,938 babies in 2004 but managed to end up with almost $8 million in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked in $34.5 million, Dallas County taxpayers kicked in $31.3 million and the feds tossed in another $9.5 million. The average patient in Parkland’s maternity wards is 25 years old, married and giving birth to her second child. She is also an illegal immigrant. By law, pregnant women cannot be denied medical care based on their immigration status or ability to pay. Ok, fine. That doesn’t mean they should receive better care than everyday, middle-class American citizens. But at Parkland Hospital, they do.
Parkland Memorial Hospital has nine prenatal clinics. NINE. The Dallas Morning News article followed a Hispanic woman who was a patient at one of the clinics and pregnant with her third child – her previous two were also born at Parkland. Her first two deliveries were free and the Mexican native was grateful because it would have cost $200 to have them in Mexico. This time, the hospital wants to pay her $10 per visit and $100 for the delivery but she was unsure if she could come up with the money. Not that it matters, the hospital won’t turn her away. (I wonder why they even bother asking at this point). How long has this been going on? What are the long-term effects? Well, another subject of the article was born at Parkland in 1986 shortly after her mother entered the U.S. illegally – now she is having her own child there as well. (That’s right, she’s technically a U.S. citizen). These women receive free prenatal care including medication, nutrition, birthing classes and child care classes. They also get freebies such as car seats, bottles, diapers and formula.
Most of these things are available to American citizens as well but only for low-income applicants and even then, the red tape involved is almost insurmountable. Because these women are illegal immigrants they do not have to provide any sort of legitimate identification – no proof of income. An American citizen would have to provide a social security number which would reveal their annual income – an illegal immigrant need only to claim to be poor and the hospital must take them at their word. My husband is a pilot for the United States Navy (Yes, he fought in Iraq) an while the health care is good, we Navy wives don’t get any of these perks! Car seats? Diapers? Not so much. So, my question is this: Does our public medical care system treat illegal immigrants better than American citizens? Yes, it does!
Their (illegals) medical care is free – simply because they are illegal immigrants? Once again, there is no way to verify their income. Parkland Hospital offers indigent care to Dallas County earn less than $40,000 per year. (They also have to prove that they did not refuse health coverage at their current job. Yeah, the ‘free’ care is not so easy for Americans).
There are about 140 patients who received roughly $4 million for un-reimbursed medical care. As it turns out, they did not qualify for free treatment because they resided outside of Dallas County. So, the hospital is going to sue them! Illegals get it all free! But U.S. citizens who live outside of Dallas County get sued! How stupid is this?
As if that isn’t annoying enough, the illegal immigrant patients are actually complaining about hospital staff not speaking Spanish. In this AP story, the author speaks with a woman who is upset at the University of Texas Southwestern for which Parkland Hospital is the training facility will now have a Spanish language requirement added to their already jammed-packed curriculum. No other school in the country boasts such a ridiculous multi-semester (multicultural) requirement.

i'm not saying make him an "instant" American, but we do issue like 9 million visas a year and a third of those hide out in the country after they expire. The administration could have sent a message and reward something good, maybe give him a visa and then only hand out 8,999,999. If they sent him back and figure it would send a "clear message" they are cracking down on illegals, I would have to laugh. The only message that would convince me they are cracking down is if they stop the flow of poisin to the country, the 'money machine". Hey guys you cannot take it with you. Hope the guy gets a visa, as he wasn't carrying drugs. Just wondering what message they are sending?

Other Americans, mostlyly Hispanic, are evenly divided. Just 45% believe English-only requirements should be allowed while 47% disagree. Only 13% of American voters believe that requiring workers to speak English is a form of racism or bigotry, & 79% disagree. The survey also found that 84% of American voters believe that English should be the official language of the United States, & only 11% disagree. 59% believe that election ballots & other official government documents should be printed in English only. 35% disagree and say documents should be printed in both English and Spanish. 87% of voters say it Very Important for people living in the United States to speak English.

To verify status of their employees? In the state of AZ only about 5 thousand out of 150 thousand have registered so far. The companies say "its un-constitutional", when what they really mean is they don't want to have to shell out a living wage, thus keeping the illegals in slave labor, while simultaneously giving a big middle finger to the average tax payer. Is there a report somewhere that states who does and who doesnt? They avoid the question when I ask management . . .Ive already changed banks and plan to boycott every business supporting slave labor and the detriment these people cause to the lower/middle class.

She is a 3rd year law student - only a few more months until she graduates with high marks. She has been involved with a group of law students that helps immigrants, they do pro bono work for immigrants legal or not. So she started dating this guy who wants to bring over his 12-yr old daughter. This girl is being raised by her grandmother who is sick & can't take care of her anymore. She wants to live w/ her dad and attend school in the US. So he is pressuring my sister to drive to Mexico, pick up the kid, & drive her across the border with false papers. I think he is using her (since she has a passport, valid drivers license) rather than paying a coyote. So I want to know what are the reprecussions for transporting an illegal child across the border? Can she go to jail? I am certain she won't be able to practice law. I would like to scare her into NOT doing this, she thinks she is living in a bubble world and can't be touched..this guy has convinced her it's the "just" thing to do!!

Serious look at all the immigrants in your country and where they came from. Last Time I checked they came from your former empire, you know Pakistan, Jamaica, South Africa, Ghana, and India. Maybe you guys should tap into these immigrants so you can also form a better football side capable of beating Macedonia and also stop whining that for 20 years the color of the skin of people are not pale like yours and embrace the fact that it was your very checkered past that brought most of them here.

The day I became a citizen I almost didn't! I had been waiting for a while for a notification letting me know if I passed the testst and criteria, so on a Friday morning this June I asked my husband if he had seen anything coming from the USCIS and he said yeah a few day's ago, I left it on the kitchen table for you tosee. Our kitchen table is a catch-all you can find everything and anything there. So I open it and oh surprice! It was that very day. it was 7:00am and I had to be in another city 1.5 hrs away in exactly ONE hour. So I panic, call my job tell them what's going on, fax them the letter so they believe me. Get the kids ready, a two and a half year old and a 5 month old and of we go, no time to bring them to daycare so they'd have to go with us to the ceremony. I was the last one they were waiting for. then I had to wait for another 15 minutes, I go to a small interview and then of to the room to make the oath etc. with the other 10 to 20 people becoming citizens that day!

What can we in Canada offer a US tourist that they can't find at home and in most cases much cheaper? Why would they want to come to Canada? Our hotels are more expensive, our restaurants are more expensive and our gas is more expensive. Add to that our higher taxes and a holiday in Canada is less than attractive.

True bigh business and the rich elite here are much to blame and many of us middleclass in hiring them to cut our grass and clean our homes. the price for this cheap labor will come back to haunt your children and grandchildren.

Blah...Blah...Blah...right I got it! They break down the American culture, our way of life, but be honest. Is it because they finacially do better than a lot of US citizens, with less opportunities. I graduated from the CSU system, and I can say most immigrants kicked *** in school, blew us "Americans" out of the water. Us Americans are looking for a "Great paying, good benifit job", but immigrants look for a great business oppurtunity, and in most cases businesses make more money than an employee. In turn they are able to buy homes faster, and obtain more things. To be honest when I go to the nice area where homes are a million+ most people I see are immigrants, or newly US citizens with an immigrant background.

So, are we jealous of their prosperity, and turn to anti-immigrant rage to vent?
