Quote:Mostly privatizing our school system will limit who is able to get an education.  It's another suggestion that is against the lower-class, and lower-middle class families that can't afford private education.  And I firmly believe that a right to a <i>good</i> education is a foremost right, and I believe education is one of the most important things to a society.  Limiting in any capacity the ability for someone to get an education will only lead to ruin.  It's why I also support charities that are trying to bring education to Africa, rather than food and clothing. 


I also think the best policy for illegal immigration is not deportation.  Rather we should be going after the companies that are unethically exploiting illegal immigrants by paying them substandard wages.  The idea is to remove the incentive to immigrate illegally.  

 

While I agree a 100% privatized and unregulated school system would make school nearly inaccessible to the poor, I believe there are many ways of combating that issue.  As is, I believe it costs roughly $2000 per year per student, and I think that cost can be driven down and with better results, more focused results.  I do not believe it is a God given right to receive an education.  However, I believe the constitution was founded based on the principles of  a well-educated populous and will fail without one.

 

I disagree on deportation completely.  Enforce the laws and enforce the borders.  If you double Border Patrol presence, again, and allow immigration agencies to enforce the laws, you'll see a significant reduction in illegal immigration.  I've never seen a company exploiting an illegal for sub minimum wage in my life.  That's mostly an urban myth.
