immigrants

Last year there was a lot of debate and talk about what we should do with the immigrants that are in our country at this point. My opinion is that we need to look at all of the immgrants who have made it here and helped there families.

I am against Prop 300 and I believe that all people are entitled to education. Prop 300 first of all denies many rights to illegal immigrants. My friend received a full ride scholarship and he can not even utilize the scholarship to it's fullest amount for school, because of Prop 300 and he is just a documented immigrant!

A little background on the community in which I work: it is comprised mainly of hispanic immigrants from Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Peru, and Columbia. I work in an elementary school where about 90% of the parents are Spanish speaking only. When conversating with many of these parents, it has come to my attention that they desperately need/want to learn the English language.

Hi there!

Thanks for dropping by my blog and reading this.  This is my first ever blog so I hope I'm doing it right.

I am originally from Scotland, UK, but I moved here in 1998 after falling in love with an American.  And who can blame me??  What a sexy accent he had :)  It's funny, my whole life I had these rules about who I would and wouldn't date;

Ok, so there's one thing that manages to rile me up every time. The issue of immigration these days. I mean, come on people, if there were no immigrants in this country, the economy would literally fall apart. Oh wait, we wouldn't have an economy! Because this whole country is made up of immigrants anyways!

Some say scholarships are for the highly successful students who worked their ways up. Others say that it is for minority students who have the financial needs to pursue their goals in school. But what is this that I hear about the scholarship given out each year to the illegal immigrants?

Ok i was actually torn between many topics for my second post. (THANKIES to everyone who commented on my first)

The topics i was thinking were obesity, border laws, or integration and diverstity...

I chose border laws.... here is my point of view.
