Imagine the stupidity it takes to come to a board filled with Texans and claim that Hispanics no longer assimilate.

So you support discontinuing the printing of public notices and ballots in Spanish? (stupid comments are easily refuted)

Why doesn't Texas just build the wall. 

and why didn't they! The Texas GOP has had ample opportunity. Just like Trump did. 

These guys don't care. The rich want slaves and rednecks need to be emotionalized.

I don't know why I punish myself .... I think you're spot on, but IMHO there are two things I'll add that I think makes some difference in today vs. yesterday:

- Proximity: Asian and European immigration inherently limited by logistics; as the Caravan shows, basically all of Central America can walk to the U.S. and claim "asylum;" by the logic of many, we should just effectively annex Central America.

- Political correctness: somewhere during the last 20 years many liberals intelligentsia decided it was racist to expect immigrants to assimilate, so we spend lots of our tax dollars ensuring Latin American immigrants never have to assimilate culturally or linguistically; my grandfather was spanked and sent home from school for speaking German and told not to return until he knows English; today, he would have gotten a scholarship

I love legal immigration, and I think one of the greatest things about America was the concept of the Melting Pot, which is probably today racist and national socialist. I always thought Texas did a particular good job of it. IMHO, too many extremists on the Left focus too much on our differences and the resulting Identity Politics. Practically, I just think it makes sense to work toward a single American culture as opposed to encouraging everyone to express and monetize our differences. Unfortunately, I guess that makes me a racist and national socialist, etc.

Travis county is floating closing 12 schools due to lack of funds. Travis county champions having two full second language programs all the way through high school in two districts. 

What is the cost per student?  Illegal immigration has consequences. If you are cool with children footing the bill, Ok, Hookem.

Travis County doesn't run a single school.

And AISD isn't proposing closing schools because of second language programs.

Yes, because extremists on the right do not focus on differences and they defnitely don't do idenity politics.  Fuck outta here with that mess when you know your people do it. 

If you complain about political correctness, you want to say, do, or believe racist shit and not get in reprimanded for it. 

Finally--you really need to comprehend the difference between enculturation, acculturation, and assimilation.  Seriously.

Ankle monitors aren’t good enough. I want the asylum process to not be thought of as a magical get out of the shithole country card you came from card. I want it to be an intrusive process that requires lots of hoops to jump through. The asylum applicants need to the know that the government is in charge, they are not going to be free to ignore the laws and that we know where the fuck you are at all times. It’s stupid we don’t do this.

Why are ankle monitors not good enough? Please show your work. You fucking hypocrite.

You can tell by the Bronx Sarah Palin thread that leftie extremists do not understand math, economics, or consequences. There is a reason only 1-2 left wing extremists on this board engages in anything other than emotional name calling and ad homs.

Mexico adopted a law in 2003 requiring the state to offer all of its services in native tongues to indigenous peoples. This means that Mexico currently by law requires that official services be provided in dozens if not hundreds of different languages.

You were saying?

And there is a reason you don't actually engage any of the substantive responses; your ideas are hollow and cannot withstand any amount of critical thought.  

(1) Do you understand the purpose of a hearing is to allow us to gather the facts that you say are needed for folks to prove they deserve asylum? You can't ask them to prove they belong and then not give the opportunity to do so.  

(2) See Hayden's post above, why aren't ankle monitors enough? And, even absent implementing monitors, what statistical evidence exists that asylum seekers will fail to appear at their hearing?

(3) Do you honestly think that teaching more than one language is either bad or a primary driver in school costs such that it can force mass closures? All those schools teach math too, so it must be math that is causing the closures. I bet they also feed the children. Wait, there it is, all those schools have children, that is the problem! Let's just get rid of the children.

With respect to #2, it would further the goal of making asylum a much less attractive option while still tacitly honoring asylum claims and the international conventions that we have signed.

None of my proposals would be applied to only Latinos. It would apply to everyone. Trying to come up with solutions to this problem doesn’t make one a racist. Possibly mean-spirited.

As I figured, I’m a hypocrite in your eyes not because of any contradictory statements or actions that I have made but rather because I violate YOUR ETHICS of how YOU THINK I SHOULD FEEL OR ACT with respect to the caravan all the while ignoring MY EXPERIENCES AND FEELINGS as a 2nd generation.  I have an aunt who left Iran after husband got in trouble with the Iranian government but did so LEGALLY and immigrated to Canada instead of the US because they were able to get a visa and permanent status easier there. Everyone I know with Iranian heritage here immigrated legally. Why the fuck should I be sympathetic to these people proudly and defiantly breaking our laws? If the members of the caravan are too stupid, uneducated and/or poor to navigate the means of legal immigration then that is even more reason to discourage hordes of poor, uneducated people who don’t speak English from coming to this country! 

Immigration to you is an abstract concept while I have lived it through my family. Your position as you have stated numerous times is to let ALL of them in. From my experience, that is a ridiculous stance since my family and friends didot legally. Finally, my own family didn’t flee shit. My parents came here 5 years before the Revolution. I have said that numerous times yet you never pick up on it because it doesn’t fit into your imagined narrative about me.
