Schools are underfunded enough as it is. Everybody in society benefits from a robust public education system.
Benefit? You must not have grown up near me in Chicago. Their public education certianly isn't beneficial to the vast amount of people it is supposed to service. My private education? Now that was beneficial

Then they will either find a means to support themselves or starve to death, either of wich is good for the economy and society.

Mush4Brains said: That could very well be true, but let's get the efficiency and proficiency up to standards before we start cutting budgets. I mean, you've got inner-city teachers buying their own supplies for class. This is ridiculous. When you have teachers making $20-$25k a year to be a glorified baby sitter because they're teaching to have their students pass the next standardized test, of course issues are going to arise.
I disagree. Throwing more money at it will simply increase the amount of waste. It won't raise the standards. Only by biting the bullet and making drastic changes can the system be fixed. I would implement a voucher system allowing private schools to compete for the same tax dollars.

I'm all for shooting people. I think people should be shot if they can't spell border.
God forbid someone makes a spelling mistake on the internet, good thing we have fascists like you to clear the way for a mistake free socity. Maybe the NSA should look into you tho, all this talking of shooting people, sounds like early warning signs of a mass shooter.

So what?
Do you think every person should be allowed to enter and stay the in US?
If someone wants to come to this country, who am I to say they shouldn't? Being born in a cretin place on the planet doesn't make you more important or deserving.
You know what group suffers the most when illegal low skilled citizens enter the US? The low skilled labor that is already here, mainly black Americans.

Is this their fault, or the fault of employers who hire them for cheap labor? I actually realize this fact more then most, allot of work I have done in the past has since been replaced by migrant workers; however, like i said, I don't blame them. I blame the company, or management.

I also don't change my world views because they affect me personally. It is not moral (in my opinion) to treat others differently based on where they were born.

People come here because we have a higher standard of living. The only reason we do is because we are the top dog. In order for the top dog to be the top dog, there has to be lots of underdogs.
I'm all for staying top dog until most of the oil is gone...after that, it's a shit sandwich for the entire world. In the meantime, I see limiting immigration as a way of keeping underdogs in that position so that I can continue to be one of the top dogs.
P.S. *affect

Yes it is. So is the assumption that we would have to pay more if we throw out the border jumpers and cut off all aid to those who refuse work.

I agree. It's likely that labor costs will go up, but my crystal ball is no more or less accurate than random selection.
The reality, however, is that we won't stop illegal immigration as long as we have a border with Mexico and Mexico's economy is what it is...

Most come through Mexico, however. If Mexico's economy were better, a large portion would not come to America. We CAN secure the borders at ports...securing them at a line in the sand is much, much harder.

You seemed to pretend to know. I know what they get paid here. If you don't know what they get paid in the Central Valley you should probably not mention it in a discussion about border jumping scum.
