One of our companies can't fill staffing orders. I'd happily take 300 of these people.

Now that’s funny. 300 adults? How about their kids?
Which city or county are you willing to inflict them on?
Immediately ten problems become 3000. Who will absorb the medical needs of these 300 people? How about the language barrier? You can get past that in about 6 months normally, but the new employee is almost useless for 6 months.
Don’t forget that they all are going to require housing/food/direction and transportation assistance. You can’t just throw them into jobs. 300 new foreigners would be a nightmare for any company, county, city and don’t forget the criminal element. The cops are going to love you and your new hires

Missed both points of that post.
Speaking of this thread though... sure has gotten quiet lately about the Caravan.

If Ely missed the points Ralph made in post 484, then your absolutely right.
Another problem is the schools have to absorb these kids. In My wife's last year of teaching full time, a 17 year old from Mexico was placed in her 6th grade classroom after the kid was assessed. She raised holy hell (she had this same problem a multitude of times in Dallas when she taught there) for all the obvious reasons. 17 year old boy, 12 year old girls... Not a good environment
The kid didn't speak English, couldn't read on the 6th grade level, was so far behind it dragged the other kids down with him.
It has to stop. Our kids are falling farther and farther behind here. Pisses me off.

Did your wife happen to teach in a one room schoolhouse in Oklahoma circa 1865? Or in a tent in your backyard? Because otherwise the situation you describe is not only preposterous, it's also illegal, and no school would be doing it unless they were keen on being sued by families and being fined a million dollars or two by the state.

You don't know what you're talking about. Bilingual here ends at 5th grade. ESL has a max of 3 classes for kids 6th and beyond. She literally had kids in her math classes that couldn't speak English. She taught at DISD for over ten years, then charter schools for a few years as a Math dept specialist with a stint of math teaching in The Valley
Try teaching math to a kid that doesn't speak English. And the district says "good luck". That's reality here, Cletus. The school system here for the past 15 plus years have been a joke
Every kid in our neighborhood goes to a private school. Dallas Christian, Jesuit, St Thomas Aquinas or Greenhill. One kid transferred to Greenhill from a charter school and it took her 3 years to do so. Charter schools here are hit and miss but still much better than public.
