What Marcela Sanchez is not saying.

You get used to the disingenuous arguments by pro illegal immigrant apologists like Marcela Sanchez in the Washington Post. Her current column argues for a race based no child left behind for Spanish speaking students. Because the Hispanic children are not becoming proficient in English as other immigrant groups. Oh and guess who will pay for the program. Here are some of the money quotes:

"Under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2002, schools are held accountable for these students and for how well and how quickly they become proficient in English."

Translation: The middle class taxpayers who pay the local school taxes are the ones who will pay for the Hispanic no child left behind program because they are required by the Federal Government whose failure to protect the borders has caused this increase in children who are not proficient in the English language because they or their parents were illegal. Hola suckers!

She then tries to slide this nugget and ignores the underlying fact:

"80 percent of students with limited English proficiency are in fact born and raised in this country; in other words, four out of five are U.S. citizens. "

Sanchez totally ignores that the parents of these children (aka anchor babies) are more than likely illegal immigrants. And once again ignores the burden of the costs for the illegals falls on the U.S. taxpayer.

Finally there is this Sanchez gem:

"Knowing what we do -- that having no high school degree greatly reduces our children's chances to succeed -- should we not apply the same determination that helped us get to this country to ensure that we send English-proficient children to school?"

Yep, the same determination to ignore United States immigration laws and enter the country illegally and be subsidised by the middle class U.S. taxpayers. Ms. Sanchez's column should be pit in the "Hola suckers!" file.
