Schools Discuss Hiring Illegal Immigrants

I covered this a few days ago, The Uncooperative Blogger brings up more...

From KTEN News:

A heated debate has sprung up in the Dallas school district and could soon sweep through the rest of North Texas. A school board member has proposed a controversial way to fill the growing void for bilingual teachers.

The Dallas school board needs to hire about 400 more bilingual educators. The Denison Independent School District has also struggled to find certified bilingual teachers, but would they consider hiring illegal immigrants? That's exactly what a Dallas school board member suggested.

Right now, federal law prohibits hiring undocumented immigrants. If a school district breaks the law a six month jail sentence could follow. In just over a decade the Hispanic populaton has risen nearly 10 percent and recruiters say it's getting harder to find qualified teachers.

Still, local educators feel the idea is out of the question.

This is what the idiotic concept of bilingual education has gotten us. ALL children should be made to learn English first, and take all classes in English. The cost to us, the taxpayers, is too high. Books in different languages cost money, as do teachers that speak it.

Now to get specific, illegal aliens and their children have no right to a free education on our country; or shouldn't. They are citizens of Mexico, and are not U.S. citizens. That makes their education Mexico's problem, not ours. Now schools are considering hiring illegal aliens to teach in our schools?? When are people in this country going to say enough, is enough?

People, we have got to put an end to this once and for all.
