They don't get to stay here anymore but they still are. The kids are in school, are they leaving their kids behind? I assume that they don't leave their kids behind, surely they don't, right? I don't understand the phrase because I didn't think the parents were allowed to stay just because they had a child here. I don't get it. Lol. But I know they are, they just stay undocumented, right?
When I enrolled Abby in public school I had to fill out a bunch of forms explaining what language was spoken primarily by myself and her in the home. I have a friend whose job is to teach these kids English as a second language, they go into kindergarten not knowing any English. Some 30% of the kids starting school in that district don't know any English at all.
This is how it plays out:
pregnant woman/family crosses the border undetected. Woman birth's kid in the US. Family remains in the US working under the table or buying an alias/fake paperwork. This continues until one of two things happen:
A. Family qualifies for some form of legal relief (U visa, marriage to a citizen, dreamers act, temporary protected status, citizen baby turns 18 and claims parents, etc). OR
5.) Mother/family member gets arrested or pulled over for whatever reason and it's discovered they are undocumented. Notice to appear in court is issued. If they don't appear a deportation order is issued. If they never arrive then they might remain undetected until they get caught/arrested again, once caught again they'll find the deportation order and they'll be detained and deported. If they did present themselves to court a deportation order will also be issued and they imediately get detained and removal proceedings start for their deportation. Since the child is a citizen the parent can chose to be deported with their child or arrange a caregiver in the US for child to remain in the country since they are citizens.
Trumps line of thinking is the following: Immigrants are willing to do anything and risk anything in order to secure their children's citizenship by birth, so let's take that right away for children of undocumented people.
He's good, just spoke to him this week.

Why'd he stop coming here? Did he get bored with redsam
Gone?
Where is plunk anyway?
^^^^im wondering too. Ok Nan...fill us in!
Not my place to say. Pretty much real life is more demanding than online presence.
Of course not, all I am bringing up here is lets not call someone a fag, faggot, fgt, or gay when we really mean to call them lame, stupid, feminine, girly, stupid, or any other insult.
There are plenty of ways to insult someone, and when you insult someone the intent is to offend right? I'm not saying don't offend people, I'm saying don't offend homosexuals while you are intending to offend/insult someone else.
lol, fuck lestat.
Fruity ass liberal fgt.
nah, fuck him.
His state has like no water and is on fire and he's worried about some people in a chat room using the term "fgt"
fuck him, go do some real good and go piss on a fire.
Sorry, bro
had to call Mitch a fgt
butt just Mitch
well ... cuz he is one
butt just Mitch
well ... cuz he is one
get creative, find some other things to call him, you can have fun with it.
But stay away from fgt or other derivations.
Lets say he was one, its not something to insult him about, we should celebrate it.
I don't think he is one based on discussions I've seen on here, and even if he was, it isn't our business unless he wants to make it our business.
Has he made it your business?
Pick3, I can't wait to see what you come up with! This is karma for egging on the bible thumper in the other thread! [emoji12]
I just gave my good bro, Pad, some moar love in that thread
I enjoy using the C word, but don't have much opportunity to use it much ;-)
Lestat and HT back on EF....nice!!!!
i'll cum up with something, butt you have to admit I'm improving by limiting the use of that term exclusively for Mitch.
Its been a heavy couple of days so far, most if you know the reason why. I mean heavy on EF.
It also highlighted something that I noticed now more than ever, and to be honest I wouldn't have ever noticed this 10 years ago and I certainly would have been part of it.
The problem I mention is the rampant use of homophobic and anti homosexual references. It seems like every post is calling someone a 'fgt' maybe I am getting old, but it isn't funny anymore, its the opposite, it isn't right. To me its the same as calling people a 'Ngr' because you think its fun and its something we can use to deride people.
I know why we do it, because I used to do it. In my teens when I wanted to say something was stupid, I said "that is gay" or "you are so gay" When someone said their favorite color was pink, I'd say "what a fag!" it was very common. I didn't know any better.
Now I do, and I'd like to say that we can do better at EF. I am a little surprised that sort of divisive language is still tolerated on EF or hasn't been regulated to a separate forum. We moved out all the sex talk to between the sheets, we moved out the religious and political talk, why not move out all the homophobic talk as well? Better yet, why not get rid of it altogether. It really isn't that funny, and even if it was, can't we find a more creative, or smarter way to get the same laughs? If not, you need to try harder.
I agree with you totally.... and im not that old... and im far from gay.. but alot of the ignorance i have noticed from some people is surprising to me and is reminding me of another forum im not too active at anymore...that also has alot of racist posts in the unregulated section (chat section) and it makes me a little sick. but in a way it shows peoples character so i guess its not all bad, but id rather not see such ignorant posts, I expect better from EF TBH....
some do it out of habit i think, but some seem to push it past that also..
Well said. I agree that the there is unexpected upside in that it does serve as a bit of a litmus test for people's true character, but sometimes its just plain ignorance and no real ill will is intended. Once a discussion opens up on the topic you then get to see the true colors.
I brought it up because I've been a long term user of this board and it has been a great place over the years, but when you come back and the tone is all disparaging and negative, particularly to a few select groups, it is off putting. I figured I'd say something and share my thoughts, most people just leave altogether as there is usually isn't much that can be done, there will always be bigoted assholes, and I agree with miplank and others who basically say "you gotta learn to deal with this" that is true on some level, but you can always hope to do better.
pick3 is a good bro and understand, that alone gave me a sliver of hope.
ignorance for the sake of ignorance is irreverence.
additionally, everyone knows it's wrong...which precludes ignorance, as ignorance, by definition, is the state of knot knowing...
he's a good broPick3 is a huge knot knower
