Illegals attend our schools

This certainly is a legitimate issue. We can no longer afford to be politically correct at the expense of our existence. This country is broke, if you hadn't heard, and yet we continue to waste money in all directions, illegal alien’s medical and educational assistance.

Sure, being humane is admirable and we have done more than our fair share globally, but it is getting to a point of being stupid to put everyone else above our own. Not to mention pork barrel spending and ear marks that continue to take place in Washington, yet the answer always seems to be the same old same answer by our politicians. They want you to believe that they can give you more and do more for you. This is one reason why this mentality of entitlement has loomed over us like a dark cloud.

I want personal responsibilities, I want those who bought too much house and foreclosed to recognize that it was them that signed on the dotted line; our government cannot continue to bail out and reward bad behavior.

This isn't the America that I know!

I know not all the kids(and parents) who we think are illegals, aren't, but it does suck that we have to pay for them to come over here and work, use our hospitals, and so many other things, and not pay for them. We are stuck paying for all their needs and they get it easy. They also come over here in their vehicles which aren't insured over here. So, if they get in an accident, even if it was their fault, if you have insurance, your insurance has to pay to fix your car and theirs. That is so messed up I don't even want to think about it. We seriously need to do something about this because our town is in enough trouble as it is.

Well excuse me, but "was" is considered informal English while "were" is considered formal English. There's a big difference between my informal English and the Ebonics 101 the OP uses.

If I was "positive" I would quit worrying about the illegals in school and worry more about learning proper grammar. Your incoherent ramblings make you look bad.

So true, a LOT of kids are getting the free US Education with parents choosing to live in Mexico and paying nothing into the school system. Of the 2.27% tax rate for property tax's in Del Rio 1.1% goes to the school system, even if you don't have kids in school your stuck paying for the freeloaders!!

The illegals go to all public schools. Kind of like they use all public hospitals. And it is free for them. I doubt any, but the wealthy, pay a tuition or a doctor bill.

But then why should they? You and I welcome them, provide them with food, housing and an education for free if they can make it here. One day, when you, the tax paying citizen of this county, get mad enough about sending too much of your paycheck to the government, something might be done. Unfortunately, you won't have enough money left to pay the politicians to vote they way you want them to on illegal immigrant issues. It is basically a no-win situation.

Hey, don't think the border is any different than any other part of the nation. It is a national problem and won't get fixed until ALL CITIZENS (no matter what your ethnic background is) rise up and shout it out loud....."WE ARE TIRED OF THE ILLEGALS BEING ABLE TO TAKE FROM US MORE THAN WE ARE GIVEN OURSELVES!"

The District staff used to go once or twice a year to the port of entry in the morning and check who was coming to school from Mexico and take action. Then it came to be that they weren't welcome on federal property. Go figure.

When I was going through the paperwork to put my four year old in head start there was a tiering system for selection on the forms.
Immigrant workers were listed ABOVE military.
