Not Legal in Illinois. The Spanish only classes are mandatory for children whose parents want them.

Decades ago the legislature passed requirements that a child be taught in whatever language the parents wanted.
IIRC it came out when a consulate head in Chicago had listed an odd language native to his country, but not even the official language there. Only qualified teacher in that language in state was TAAA DAAA…
the mother. She got paid to tutor her own progeny in the aforementioned strange language. Stipends were furnished to buy textbooks. And what made it a news-worthy item was that after a few years the aforementioned foreign citizen and consulate progeny had no knowledge of the language Mommy was being paid to teach.
She wasn’t teaching it, and no textbooks had ever been bought for that language.
ESL classes at least offer an illegal (or anchor baby) a chance to be Americanized so parents not wanting the children to become Americans in culture make sure that they keep those kids in foreign language classes.

“…the open-borders lobby tries so hard to smear all border-security types…make us radioactive and prevent the formation of these winning coalitions.”

A great point that must not go unnoticed, as it is the main reason the open-borders crowd as been able to keep illegal immigrate laws from being enforced for such a long time.

“It’s a fine line we’ll need to walk between expressing our justified outrage …but tempering our zeal with humility and charity where it’s appropriate.”

Good advice for all those who care enough to take-up this issue and join the fight to secure our borders.

Gotta give a shout out to the Devil Dogs-OOORAH!

Isn’t it against federal law to hinder or obstruct ICE?

Exactly where has the federal prosecutor responsible for LA been?

… The fine is part of a legal process to make the crimes you have committed be unchargeable in any court in the land, and tends to be interpretable to judges to strip off any limitations (felons, child molesters, disease carriers, deadbeats, and gang members that might be put into the legalization bill.

And those “undocumented workers” who have either:

1. been paid in cash and avoided all taxes (the IRS frowns on this)

2. used an unassigned social security number – a $250,000 fine

3. used a stolen social security number – a felony

Anybody left???

Question 2) 2. What is the difference between:
a) charging a fine of $3000 AFTER illegally crossing our border, and
b) a Border Patrol agent charging a $3000 bribe BEFORE crossing the border?? …

No fair skipping question #1 and the follow-up!! Tsk. Tsk.

… The fine is part of a legal process to make the crimes you have committed be unchargeable in any court in the land and to REWARD the criminal with his ill-gotten goods…

FIFY.

It amazes me that, with the emerging threat of terrorism and IED’s in America, with the growing loss of life to violent crime and even accidents, with the terrifying rise of violent street gangs like MS-13, we still cannot agree…

I live in a Chicago “collar county” that’s being overrun by illegal aliens. Every year we have a different school district bringing up a referendum for more money because of class sizes.

I’ve gotten booted from the on-line forums of our local Liberal bird cage liner 7 times because I keep bringing up the savings that elimination of ESL and Spanish only classes would bring.

Plain as the nose on your face type of thing.

ya think????

Thanks George and Geraldo!
