Amnesty for Illegals

Tweet

You know, I don't have a problem with immgrants, all of our families immgrated to the United States, the key word here is " LEGALLY". Back in the good old days, immigrants arrived at Ellis Island, had medical exams, background checks and at least a few dollars to their names. They came looking for a better life. I have a problem with those that come to our country, illegally, who knows what kind of person they are, ie.. a deranged killer etc... or what kind of illness they carry. I don't want to sound rude, but look at the incidents of diseases that the USA has eradicated years ago now popping up.. T.B. for example. And this marching in the streets.. what is that? I recall a time when someone who came to the United States illegally, hiding and not trying to bring attention to themselves. Now they are openly waving foreign flags demanding their " rights" here in the USA! I will admit I am not a scholar, but excuse me, what rights do they have when they are here illegally?! I thought only Citizens were afforded the rights granted under the Constitution. Quite frankly, I am tired of hearing " press 1 to hear this message in Spanish", I thought the language of the USA is English, and if we are going to have to press any numbers for different languages why are other common languages of other immigrants ignored? And... when I was in grammar school, although the school I went to was predominantly Polish, children were expected to know how to speak English, and were allowed to only speak English in school, they could speak Polish at home, this was a strict rule. I have two daughters that attended a public school, it amazed me that mine were just a few that could speak English! Take for example, my youngest was in a class that had 32 students, during the day, only 7 students remained with her, while the other students were taken to another class by teachers that spoke their language. I found that in this school at least, the American, english speaking children were left behind, doing busy work while the children that spoke other languages got a better education! What is your opinion on the immigration, amnesty issue?
