Immigrants & K-12 Debate - Sayre, OK

If they are here illegally then they should be forced to go back where they came from. I believe if they came here the right way, and are now legal citizens then they should have to go to school just like the rest of the children in K-12. Otherwise they should go back and no. We could provide our own children and the legal citizens with better schooling instead of wasting it on someone who came here the wrong way.

They deserve knowledge too!

Yes, they do. I believe every child deserves to learn and be knowledgable. But if they are here illegally then they should be taken back to where they came from and taught there. We should not waste money on teaching someone who is breaking the rules when we can barely afford to pay the teachers wages now. The children who are here legally should be thought of and taught first.

That's like saying send all white people back to England and watever so Indians can have their land back and go back to their teachings where ever they want instead of having a bit of land from the government. Ever think about that? In a way rooting back most of the population is illegal.....

Every child deserves an education legal or not.People seem to forget that our country was founded by immigrants.People who were looking for a better life and that is exactly what these people seek here!

...... exactly .... thank you!

The funny thing is that immigrants work harder than citizens and earn less pay

Everyone should have the right to a proper education.

As a nation that is struggling with financial difficulties and many citizens are living in deplorable conditions. We currently are closing smaller schools and consolidating to save money. Longer school days and many other cost cutting areas trying to help schools to keep functioning. How can we agree to educate other illegal immigrant children when we can barely afford to educate and feed the American students?

Get them citizenship - pay taxes.

No, there are plenty of immigrants who come here legally so if they can't do that then they should go to jail.

You know America has to draw the line somewheres with other countrys.. we cant take them all in ! America has to take care of our own, I mean geez why dont we open all the broaders and let all illgel immigrants come on im and take over!! its time America stops kiss other countrys asses. sounds mean? oh well , i personaly think we do way too much for other countrys anyways,sorry about those children, but we need to put ours first!!.. it is America , the USA.
