Because that's my taxpayer money going to a system that's already overly-funded and wastes HUGE amounts of money.

Your taxpayer money? I thought you were still in school.

There are some similarities.  Both were hateful, hateful men who used terror to promote their ends and means, and neither one of them were fit to call themselves Americans, much less congressman.

But how is it indirectly comparing the two?  I could compare him to George McGovern then - who was a terrible racist.


George Mcgovern?  A racist? 

You're an idiot.

Anyway - no sane general is going to tell you that allowing illegals into the army is a good thing.  You'll have Chinese and Arabs crawling all over the place, and then the end of the U.S.
And I also notice you have an esoteric propensity of caring about the most trivial things. How does it affect you, or anyone else for that matter, if schools offer math classes in a foreign language? Does it hurt you or your peers in anyway? Does God kill a kitten every time a teacher teaches implicit differentiation in Spanish? Why on earth are you so authoritarian? I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but I don't quite understand your justification behind your viewpoints.

Not that your fiscal conservatism is particularly consistent, but many public schools already have ESL programs that offer assistance to students whose English is subpar. Obviously, this differs from state to state and district by district, but such a mandatory requirement of core classes available in a multitude of languages wouldn't be enacted without strong popular support, something that poor Hispanics would be unable to bring about.

And I think you meant to say "George Wallace" instead of "George McGovern," but even then, I don't quite see what your point is (especially because Wallace's 'racism' and subsequent 'conversion' were almost certainly politically motivated). The comparison between Tancredo and McCarthy is an apt one.

The system is over funded.  We need to cut defense spending and stop handing out cash to churches so they can try to convert poors with their morsels of food.

Delete "almost".
