Now that I have your attention, let me tell you why this dog won't hunt.

Where will the additional teachers come from to TEACH these adults English?
Where will the money come from to PAY these teachers?
Where will the non-english-speakers find the time to take the classes?
Will children be denied education until they learn it?
Will 9 yr old first graders be acceptable?...22 yr old high school sophomores?
How many new-hires will it take to monitor all these English-class students' progress?
What if they fail their class? Will they be bused to Tijuana?


My high school friend's last name was Stavropolous.. His parents never learned much more english than "Come, sit, you EAT"... they owned a home free and clear (a small one, but still it was theirs). His dad always had a job, and his mother did seamstress work at home.

This whole immigration debacle is little more than our Georgie-boy sticking his ham-hand into yet another beehive, and then watching us all get stung over and over.. He's the only one with protective clothing here.. he always hides behind "bad advice".."unstable information"..nothing is ever his fault..

Here's hoping a few bees go up his pantleg :)
