Catering to Non-English Speaking Kids
Sends Education Costs Skyrocketing

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 10/12/2024 5:36:00 AM

The education budgets for America’s small towns and states are skyrocketing as the huge wave of of the Biden-Harris administration’s migrant children are diverted into American primary schools. As these migrants flood into public schools, administrators are shifting more budget dollars towards dealing with children who speak a dozen different languages, and some who have had little or no education in their home countries before they came to the U.S., and this shift of budget dollars necessarily takes resources away from native students.

In one of the schools where I went to 10th grade we had a Vietnamese boat kid who could not speak a word of English. He tried hard and eventually did become functional, but it was a struggle and the rest of us suffered for it. I can't even imagine an entire class full. The regular kids would get a better education at the mall or hanging out at the park.

It not only takes resources away from taxpayers' kids but it slows down the process of education to the point where nobody learns anything. At least the Vietnamese kid had the ability to learn, these third-world types do not.

If there can be magnet schools for the exceptionally bright, high achieving students, then why not magnet schools for kids that only speak some brand of 3rd world gibberish? Don't like the daily commute? Then move closer to the magnet school. And remember! There is a place where everyone talks like that.

When our country had the mass influx of children during the 1800's they did not cater to people who could not speak English. Kids went to school and quickly learned English that they took home with them and helped the family get by. We had a melting pot and people melted. Now we are wasting valuable resources to keep everyone's "Culture". That is pure nonsense. We are a melting pot so melt already!

We have had a huge influx of Mexicans in our small town, I had a teacher tell me this, She said they were so hard to teach English because they weren't even capable in their own language...no understanding of prepositions, verbs vs nouns, possessives etc. I had a woman who worked for me for several years and was despondent that her elementary school child was the only Caucasian child in the entire class. I doubt the poor kid learned anything that year.

How a scandal engulfing 60 Minutes exposed
the Kamala media cover-up

The scandal engulfing CBS' 60 Minutes over its edited interview with Kamala Harris has turbocharged fears that the Democrat is being shepherded into the White House by a liberal media increasingly desperate to cover for her shortcomings. The presidential race has been dogged by allegations of media bias since the moment Harris unseated Joe Biden as the Democrat pick in the wake of his disastrous debate with Donald Trump in June. Apart from glowing magazine profiles and softball interviews with handpicked reporters, the VP has largely side-stepped the media exposure that candidates traditionally allow.

Former President Trump explained how he would guard against bureaucrats undermining him as the potential next commander-in-chief if elected back to the White House. "We have two enemies: We have the outside enemy, and then we have the enemy from within. And the enemy from within, in my opinion, is more dangerous than China, Russia and all these countries," Trump said in an exclusive interview on "Sunday Morning Futures." "But the thing that's tougher to handle are these lunatics that we have inside, like Adam Schiff — Adam 'Shifty' Schiff," Trump added.

Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance appeared shocked Sunday on ABC News when co-host Martha Raddatz interrupted him mid-statement and attempted to downplay Venezuelan gangs’ takeover of Colorado apartment complexes. The Tren de Aragua gang made U.S. headlines in September after officials confirmed ten members were involved in an investigation into a string of alleged criminal incidents at an Aurora, Colorado apartment complex, according to FOX 31. On ABC’s “This Week,” Raddatz pressed Vance on former President Donald Trump’s response, noting Trump claimed the city had been “invaded and conquered” by migrants, while the mayor called the statement “grossly exaggerated.”

Vice President Kamala Harris has lost steam and her edge against former President Donald Trump has slipped in three major polls with less than a month to go until Election Day — yet another blow to Democrats who were already starting to panic about November. Harris has lost six percentage points on Trump in a single month in the NBC News poll, giving the former president the slimmest lead of 47% to 46% among registered voters — with third-party contenders included. Last month, Harris scored 47% to Trump’s 41% in the same poll. (Photo) The vice president had jumped slightly ahead of Donald Trump in polls since rising to the top

JD Vance leaves NYT reporter stunned with

J.D. Vance left a New York Times reporter stunned by dismantling the argument that illegal immigrants are essential to the U.S. economy. The Senator made the case that a simple solution to the migrant crisis would be to employ 7 million male Americans who have dropped out of the labor force, rather than relying on the annual inflow of approximately 2 million undocumented migrants. Vance says he doesn’t think America needs to rely on cheap immigrant workers and advocated for Donald Trump’s proposal to deport all undocumented people living illegally in the U.S.

With just weeks before the 2024 presidential elections, securing a fair and honest election should be the top priority for states— except for Arizona. Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes is moving forward with allowing 218,000 people with unconfirmed citizenship to vote in the federal election despite concerns illegal immigrants have been peddled into the U.S. to boost votes for the Democratic candidate. Under 2024 state law, Fontes revealed the number of registered voters but never provided the required legal proof of citizenship. The Democrat revealed last week that that number had doubled, describing it as an “evolving situation.”

I recently wrote that the 2024 election won't be that close. Part of my thinking was that pollsters have yet to solve their "Trump problem." The pollsters have tried different methodologies, different algorithms. and different ways to contact voters, all seeking to address the "missing Trump voters" that fail to show up in their polls but end up voting by election day.Everyone has their own theory about how to measure Trump's support but the bottom line is that we won't know how successful or unsuccessful the pollsters are until the voters are counted. That's going to take a while, considering all the legal challenges from both sides that will be made.

Suffs, the feminist Broadway musical that counts Hillary Clinton as one of its main producers, is officially a box-office bomb, with the show announcing a closing date after reportedly failing to turn a profit after nearly six months. The musical — a nearly three-hour celebration of the suffragette movement, featuring a cast comprised entirely of women and gender “non-binary” performers — cost $19 million to produce, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing reviewed by the New York Times. That money has not been recouped, with ticket revenue failing to cover the weekly cost of operations. Producers announced Friday that Suffs will close January 5 —

Former President Obama is drawing backlash for recent comments calling on Black men to turn out for Vice President Harris in November’s election. At a campaign stump for Harris on Thursday in Pittsburgh, Obama said that despite Harris raising upward of $1 billion, “we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running.” That lag in energy, he added, appears “to be more pronounced with the brothers.” “You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses; I’ve got a problem with that,” he said. “Because part of it makes me think -

I’m so old I remember when we learned about advertising fakery by ordering stuff like sea horses and x-ray vision glasses from the back of comic books. Younger generations caught on when they compared what they’d seen in the TV ads with the actual products. For voters this time around all they have to do is scan X online. The sea horse ads were better fakes than the Harris-Walz team is churning out. Of course, there is the candidates’ utter failure in public appearances -- such as they are -- to show Harris-Walz viewers that they are phony, unserious contenders for the highest offices in the land.

Nearly 450 7-Eleven stores across North America are closing for underperforming, according to the company. Seven & I Holdings, 7-Eleven’s Japan-based parent company, announced in an earnings report Thursday that 444 7-Eleven stores are closing because of a dip in sales, particularly cigarette sales, as well as decreased traffic and inflation. A list of which stores will be closing was not released. 7-Eleven has 13,000 stores across the U.S. and Canada, which means the closures would only impact 3% of the company’s portfolio. The convenience store chain has faced six consecutive months of traffic declines, including a 7.3% dip in August.
