O'Rourke rallies at border, putting new Trump threats in spotlight
By Tal Axelrod - 03/30/19 10:49 AM EDT

Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke will officially launch his White House campaign on Saturday in the border town of El Paso, Texas, a city thrust into the spotlight this week after President Trump renewed his focus on what he calls an immigration crisis.

O’Rourke, a former Texas congressman who served six years in the House representing El Paso, will hold three rallies across Texas on Saturday, a launch that comes one day after the president threatened to shutter the border to grapple with a rise in illegal crossings.

The El Paso rally has been scheduled for weeks, but it's timing draws a striking contrast with Trump, who has threatened to close the border before but said on Friday that “there’s a very good likelihood” he will do so next week, providing a firmer timetable than any past warning.

“If Mexico doesn’t immediately stop ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States through our Southern Border, I will be CLOSING the Border, or large sections of the Border, next week. This would be so easy for Mexico to do, but they just take our money and “talk.” Besides, we lose so much money with them, especially when you add in drug trafficking etc.), that the Border closing would be a good thing!” Trump said in a Friday morning tweetstorm.

Here's an answer for one of the cities with a very high illegal immigration problem.

The Elephant in the Classroom: Mass Immigration's Impact on Public Education

September 2016 | Read the Full Report (PDF)

Public school districts across the United States are suffering under a massive unfunded mandate imposed by the federal government: the requirement to educate millions of illegal aliens, the school age children of illegal aliens, refugees and legal immigrant students. FAIR estimates that it currently costs public schools $59.8 billion to serve this burgeoning population. The struggle to fund programs for students with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), sometimes called English Language Learners (ELL), represents a major drain on school budgets. Yet due to political correctness, it is taboo to raise the issue even though scarce resources are redirected away from American citizens to support programs like English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and English as a Second Language (ESL).
The influx of newcomers to the public schools is helping President Barack Obama fulfill the promise he made five days before his election in 2008 to “fundamentally [transform] the United States.” Almost one in every ten students enrolled in public schools is designated as LEP. For kindergartners, the figure is 17.4 percent. In 2013, the Department of Education determined that the United States will require 82,408 new or trained LEP teachers by 2018—if school districts can find enough qualified candidates. Despite the growing LEP population, only 10 percent of teachers are currently certified or trained in ESL.1

Factors Straining Public Schools
A surge of Unaccompanied Alien Minors crossing the border from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador beginning in 2014
Family units entering the country illegally
People overstaying their visas
Higher-than-average birthrates among families with an illegal head-of-household
Around a million legal immigrants granted permanent resident status every year since 2004

I am not sure how Beta Oroark has any support unless illegals are voting.  If the illegal immigrants are coming at the levels they say it isn't only El Paso that takes on these burdens.  They are then bussed to other locations where they have family and social services waiting.  How lond are politicians going to expect Americans to pay for this?





AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Ok ... so Beto is being smart; Trump draws in the crowd, gets the media attention and Beto rides along on his coat tail.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Robert Francis ‘Beto’ O’Rourke: El Paso Safe Because of Immigrants, Asylum Seekers
Breitbart, Mar 30, 2019

Former Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D-TX) on Saturday formally kicked off his 2020 presidential campaign, declaring at a rally in El Paso, Texas, that immigrants and asylum seekers make the border town safe.

In a speech to over 1000 supporters, O’Rourke drew a sharp contrast between his immigration policies and those of President Donald Trump, extolling the virtues of increased immigration and diversity as a unifying force.

“With Ciudad Juarez we form the largest binational community in this hemisphere. And for 20 years running, we’ve been one of the safest cities in the United States of America,” the El Paso native declared. “We are safe not despite the fact that we are a city of immigrants and asylum seekers. We are safe because we are a city of immigrants and asylum seekers.”

“We have learned not to fear our differences, but to respect and embrace them. We see the languages spoken in this community, the traditions, the cultures, as a strength for El Paso,” he added.
