" Yeah but we have plenty of fraud here without British -- like the ones who started newcomers academy. A school opening in Boston that -- it'll -- this set up a -- today until two months ago. He's some -- my high how would your browser that -- he mania media ease some army he was attending school in Santa Domingo until two months ago. And planning to become a lawyer. Then. Her mother and stepfather moved to Boston and told the sixteen year old she would have to finish school here. Even though she spoke not a word of English and had never seen snow. -- now. I'm I'm figuring she's. Her stepfather American and that's how she gets into the country. But here's what -- life as -- pressure not put on the parents excuse me -- a child in schools are prepared to come to school if he should it be our responsibility. That someone decides to bring a child here from another country not speaking a word of English and dump on a school that should be our responsibility. You we have to create a special school for her."

" You and I because great deal about parental responsibility family responsibility coming forest. What we don't know from the story that Todd is which one of her parents is American war. Whether in fact they are citizens. You know of another another country but petitioned for immigration. You have to assume without pretty as you read this story have to assume now we are about Iran this assumption. That the he illegally that this is legal immigration the stuff we applaud. That they apply they waited 6810 years whatever it is he has a chance to come to the -- the great great land of opportunity and they're gonna take advantage of it. I agree that it is legal or illegal there vivid photo and more a celebration probably think half a -- up probably unfortunately. That being said he is he is what's -- here's what's going on underneath it as you read it. It's the city of Boston trying to do something about the drop out rate which is not a good dropout rate at which analysis has shown. A lot of it is attributable to people who come here. After the school he has got -- this dotting the late. Ian they'd have though language and cultural difficult it's a pretty sympathetic. Situation that is present that. I disagree with the embrace of it as a priority. But I can't say that I disagree with the motives that he he got a pro dropout rate problem. You have to acknowledge -- commit to any school -- late you're already behind the idea doubly behind because you don't understand the language it's been spoken in their classroom. That child is most likely to drop out that's not good to meet you or anybody else's listeners are."

" Good that's one step one I agree with -- to how about this. Complete health screenings from an upbringing in any type of part of any orderly water bottle -- which liberal shall call you a bigot for or -- or you and I are racist by the time this conversation has done an all right how about -- three step three have to show subtype a special skill and entrepreneurial ability engineering math science something that we don't take. Really though does the least skilled. Well all people on the planet in maybe we need unskilled workers at that moment we can make the decision to admit them. The idea that we should have Willy Nilly immigration. And that word bigots if week it dared ask who's coming in from more countries they're coming is crazy we need to rescind the whole. That immigration reform thing that that Ted Kennedy push in the mid sixties that has absolutely. Change the country in the in. Unbelievable ways so this this response by the city of Boston to set up this newcomers academy and by the way we should -- lessons one thing right now -- 22 students in this. Next year it's the program is expected to grow. And -- Ain -- 250. Student in 19%. Of the students in the Boston Public Schools according to this article local today have a problem with the English language now. In May be many of those kids were born and raised here and still have trouble with the English because if you talk to hit in the street today it's hard to know what language they do speak but. I I suspect what they're referred to as a large. A part immigrant populations illegal immigration there is a huge cost too stupid. Policies. And that's who we as a society have to face up to it's the same as the IG story it's the same as this kind of institutional incompetence that we have as a nation. That we don't do anything right we ally ourselves that we it's gotten so luxurious here. That we actually listened to the ACLU. And listen to liberals when they talk they're moronic stupidity that destroys the country why in the world. Do you embrace policies that make it impossible to educate. Why do you do that so but so yup -- problem here is -- from listening closely and I know while listeners listening closely as well look at a Muslim closely to your problem here is really with. Immigration policy now with Boston the city of Boston's response I know it's all the same package it's that the that this this thread schools are controlled by Democrats education policy is controlled by Democrats. Illegal immigration is favored by Democrats. Not educational values in the schools are provide for Barack Obama just became president two months ago after George Bush was in treachery years and George Bush had a mostly republic I don't get -- from the whole thing you know my answers to that which is that Republicans have to play in the world that's been created for them by Democrats. Democrats have so successfully transform this nation into one that's quickly becoming be closed 50%. Of a welfare state saint RF saying well that's a question is that a welfare state after 50% non Caucasian. This has been a deliberate policy to wrest power away from -- a traditional marital pot and give it to people just -- didn't."

" Is it also -- the great American tradition that we do be calm. The receding ground for displaced people I've read this for example here's one. A student survived the civil war in Sierra -- we know how vicious and brutal that what has become he spent several ideas in refugee camps in Senegal. And he's now here in Boston I don't know how he got he parents brother sisters whatever but he's here in Boston. If the other mayor of the school superintendent. If for newcomers academy could make they have less likely to occur that's actually not that that's not a poorly thought out response."

" Now it is it's -- still hasn't -- that it's an accommodation to -- duration -- most of the bad policy we have in this country is to make up for the bad policy we -- and it's an accommodation to someone -- I don't I don't disagree -- that you usually end -- seven -- to say who the -- decided -- the new products and oh yeah that's just go back to the beginning and under the -- the -- we have good schools that required education rather -- celebrating diversity rather -- mainstreaming. Rather than -- spending effort banning Halloween because it might be offensive to somebody who came here from. The news -- Sri Lanka. You know just get the people what the parts in their brains out of the schools can't put some comments sit there. 6172666860. -- I was and I are like Hillary did that you're on WRKO -- good morning."

" They aren't -- stirred up behind this morning but. That's ridiculous -- now every town and city in this state alone is looking at cuts in teachers that we heard -- but it does that mean. Go all the way back to you know couple. You know situation attacks and it's a greater. Lot of people attacks -- not going to be Etymotic. I mean you -- we managed care are talk about -- really pathetic I mean. You talk about you know I Republican versus Democrat the Democrats are traditionally known to witness to -- other -- You know that's exactly what the doctor -- election Obama actual -- and that would be union but it's not that doing so but without -- and so you're spot."

" It retrieved a new trees when you point out that we have already and we do have great great difficulty educating our own so called. We have the recognized legally constitution and I would also say morally. The children involved and yet they got children."

" How do. You leave it."

" Majority percentage kids can't get at probably shouldn't be become apparent only."

" Situation an air at I would if I -- what should do not share arrests. Now that tripped her up and they get back -- people that aren't sport and a lot I mean it isn't static it."

" Hillary -- killed we got the tail wagging the dog there's no question about it and it is it is in my opinion I say this -- a Democrat and absolutely inane immigration policy that -- plenty of blame both body Patrice has a right if we're gonna take somebody and -- schools because their parents decided to bring them here in the middle of the school here. Not speaking one word of English. I say the burden falls on the family. You call family puts it what you better do -- your daughter she can't speak any English what do you -- bring in our into the country midyear and there's no indication that did not doing that but it over governing school -- play devil's advocate with you and Patrice in the -- the audience if you are her mother and stepfather even -- eight years nine years and illegal immigration you get a call from immigration. Here here you pay PG read you have to transit the United States within an associate -- eight or nine years solar how to speak English well do you look so good as they did for is some -- he media via the hardest part may be adjusting to the coal. On her first day in the program. She got caught wearing sandals in a snowstorm and fainted from the frost a teacher had to buy her socks tights and a -- can America should be arrested now. I mean there there are absolute morons and these are the people Democrats can't wait to get into the country because guess who they vote for they vote stupid because they are stupid."

" This that is a very frustrating story in particular and I think you set up the context nicely -- and in the initial -- Do we remind the audience. That it was only within the past two weeks or so the state stepped away from and retreated from the -- can't stand it on history history because of a budget issue money for this no money for that that doesn't make sense to me and you have to go for the -- a societal. Good would have posted this isolated."

" Societal dysfunction. Pour values. Pour focus port priority 6172666. C 868 daily -- made dale demonic."

" Great thank you. Well that it's not just a million or talk or talking about all of the cut here or not it was well program and -- like that. Cut out for your he didn't. And you've got to wonder if he has been back here or in open at. Our that you're going to be but it useful for what you're a senior. Yup you're looking at you know forty -- million dollar -- all that they -- That -- legal aid section eight housing and Eric -- mitigating."

" Aren't -- in two. Don't you think -- getting into special programs. So they can instead a classic -- thousand making us 30000 per student."

" Right and buried I'm very good immigrants as well. So I have it up perspective on this the bush years ago when. I carry my wife I actually had to take responsibility for her it was it -- which he anchor it was -- startup and not connected that an older health care cost well over eight."

" Yet that Chirac and become a ward of the state are neat idea and that after -- be proud of good reminder of how things and gaps have like six or 72666860. Were talking about. And the new covers academy being started in Boston. To accommodate all those Boston public school students who don't know the you don't wear sandals and snowstorms and who don't speak English. --"
