In terms of making society better, I think that is a good thing. I myself am the child of an immigrant (let me add legal) and can't stand seeing lazy Americans who were born here when I know so many immigrants who succeed in the human race so much better. And there is my useless fucking opinion.  |
I'm guessing you don't have any kids in grade school or high school and don't see what's going on. The schools here in California have a large percentage of Hispanics - all of whom speak poor English because it's not their native language. These kids aren't stupid, but because they barely speak English they can't pass the classes and are getting held back. This is creating an entire new class of citizens - Hispanics who flunk out of school because they can't speak English well enough.
I have two friends of mine, Jose and Sandra. They are both here illegally, but all three of their children were born in the US. She works cleaning houses, and he takes odd jobs under the table. Their daughter (who oddly enough shares the same birthday as me) was in my daughter's class. After six years of knowing this family, their daughter has failed an entire grade and been held back twice. Great kid, she's not stupid, and she speaks English - but not well enough to learn in it.
