This has Spanish-speaking students struggling to learn the language while completing the classes they need to graduate.

Actaully only 20% …
Actaully only 20% of the Hispanics voted republican, mostly Spaniard Cubans who are still bent on have a trade blockade on cuba. The republican party does not want to deport all illigal migrants they are just pandering to racits like you becuase if they do they ahve allot to asnwer to for Walmart and McDs among other companies tha preffer to exploit migant workers -plus the big agribusinesses. You keep validating my point boaut how much of a racist you really are gringo nazi!
It was part of …
It was part of spain first spic. You stole it from spain. Again you keep telling me to watch out. You spics could not win a fixed fight. Drug cartels are beating you. LOL. Heres why I am not affraid. The republican party wants deport all illgeal alians, which you think is racist. 30% of spics voted for the republican party knowing that. Second, you people cant fight. Look at sports. Basketball, football, hockey. You spics make up so little. Its cause your inferior.
Sorry pigskin Nazi, …
Sorry pigskin Nazi, LMFAO, we do, it was a part of Mexico, and was robed by the gringos, plus Inidians and meztisos of mexios are ancestors of the indians frmthe souwthwestbecause they migrated down to mexico. Sorry, but what for what is coming Nazi,the demographics are changingandi lookforward to a Southwest which has majaority hispanicone again! You numbers are declining, to the point that non ofthe andidate even considered making migration an issue! Watch for what is coming!
Watch for what is …
Watch for what is coming? LMFAO. You people cant even fight off drug cartels let alone us. You people are as scary as a wet kitten. Again you have no claim to the SW. The people living there dont want you roaches living there. Just cause you MIGHT be the same race dosent mean you can claim that land. Thats like me going into another white mans house and saying cause I am the same race I have the right to raid his frige. Try again spic.
NO we do, the …
NO we do, the indians migrated through a straight from Siberia via alaska, and settled down and migrated southward, so indians ancestors in mexico do come from the southwest. Once again you raicst biggotednedd is showing, Katrina proved that you guys can’t rum jack , and you got got allot of pockets in in gringo land that are hole too. Nothing in america belong sto you gringo, you stole all of it, your the foreigner there grino. Racist, hateful and biggoted. Watch for twhat is comeing.
Your a ing …
Your a ing idiot. Try fixing your own country. You hispanics are roaches. You infest everything with your filth. You take good areas and turn them into . The world would have been much better if you people would just kill yourselves. And second you dont have any clain to the SW. Your people came from central Mexico. That is your land. We wont let you steal ours.
Again, everything …
Again, everything your saying here, keeps reafferming my point that your gringos are infact racists. Everything that you gringos are you accuse of other being. PLain and simple, and I got some other plans for you and you biggots too!
NO your are wrong …
NO your are wrong again, you are ommitng the facts and sticking to things that make you feel better because you benefited from racism and all of this robbery. Mexico does have ancertoral claim to the region of the southwest. Because all of that are was mexico, and most mexican are natives of that land, they migrated from that region down to lower mexico. Mexico gained it’s independence from spain. BUt at least your welling to admit you and your peoiple are theives!
WHo give a you …
WHo give a you punka ss it’s only ernglish! I don’t give a if I miss speel or not folowe grammers in your stupidlanauge, its only the language of racists and biggots.
NAFTA was something …
NAFTA was something Bill Clinton brought in, wiht the blessing of all presdidents going back to Ford, US unfair trade deals wiht Mexico already provoked allot of migration, but NAFTA exacerbated the migration tot he US even further, before, there where 3 million with no papers, no there are 12-13 million with no papers. Figure it out, your got the brain size oif an ataom, becuase your a racist NAZI.
I think I have …
I think I have mentioned I know 2 languges fluently and am working two others. Oh thats right you people cant read I am so sorry I misstook your people with people that have at least a double digit IQ. Type in MS13 pedophiles into google. or hispanic pedophiles into google. I understand hispanics have small penises and you people cant please real women but kids come on. Ok I can speak in Japanese and if you cant read it it shows how stupid you are. Logic isent your forte. is it?
Accually your wrong …
Accually your wrong agian (no suprise). First Mexico started that war by firing on U.S troops. No matter how much you wish to omit that its historical fact. Second Mexico had no ancestral claim to that region. Since Mexicans are not decendent of the native peoples of that region and took that region from spain. You only held it for 20 years while we have had it for almost 150 years. Your just ed cause we did to you what you did to spain.
Yes. I am going to …
Yes. I am going to drive 1000 miles just so I can call you an idiot to your face. Make no mistake if you were in front of me I would call you more then just an idiot. Ok you obviously know nothing about NAFTA. NAFTA was something Bill Clinton brought in, in the early ’90s. We have had an illegal immagrant problem since way before then. Again you show everyone that you have a brain the size of an atom.
What? LOL. You …
What? LOL. You didnt write that? Anyone that thinks I “changed” what mrshutter77 wrote to make him look stupid please click on the “view all comments” link so you can see this mrshutter77 guys full of . How are you gonna bluntly lie when people can easily see your an liar. Thats like me punching someone then turning around and saying I didnt do it. LMFAO. Ok I take it back. Your not just an idiot. Calling you an idiot is an insult to all idiots everywhere. You are beyond idiocy.

How many languages you speak? one, I speak 4. and it’s NAZI gringos like youwho have sex with children all the time, why is theUSa rampant with sexual molestors andchild molestors.

I relesh seeing you face to kick your !
Again you …
Again you re-interrate my point that peolpe liek youa re infact racist s. The southwest was a olony of spain for 400 years. After Mexico gained it’s independence of spain and it wasa part of mexico. The USA took advantae of mexicos´situation and invaded mexico and robbethe entire southwest. So hispanic influence was there for much much longer than any NAZI gringo, and for most mexicansit partf their ancertoral territory so the influence has been there and will be there, andit’s growing!

you your not owned by me, what the did you think you are a slave owner, I didn’t even write that you changed the writting to twist things to your advantage, NAZI, and so what if I misspelled stuff, I don’t care, it’s only the in englihs language, the language of racists, the lanaugeof bigots, the lanugaeof people who have no culture. You guy insult other languages by miswritng and mispronouing them all the time, dueto your arrogane, now I’m givng you taste of your own medicine!
All those languages …
All those languages come from latin you dumbass. Serously someone needs to kill your mom for giving birth to your dumbass. I am somewhat fluent in German. And I have taken spanish. Try learning Japanese were the vowels and constinents are completly diffrent. Try learning and completly diffrent alphabet. English and spanish have virtualy the same alphabet. You cant learn cause your to stupid to comprehend that. I dont blame you for being stupid. Its your races genes.
Ok your English is …
Ok your English is better then mine? LMFAO I will repost what you said. “I speak more lanauges than your dumb and my english iws btter that you engliohs will ever be pothead!”-mrshutter77. Lets see. 6 misspelled words. Languages, dumbass, is, better, you’re, and english are all misspelled. And you know better English then me? LMFAO.

Dude I would say anything to your face. Again your hispanic your people are like 5 feet tall. I dont think you could reach my face with your short puny arms. LOL. Why do you keep bring up NAFTA? You obviously dont know what your talking about. NAFTA is a trade agreement dumbass. And when Mexicans are illegaly crossing our boarders thats called ILLEGAL IMMAGRATION you dumb . How old are you? You are such an idiot.

If we robbed the southwest from Mexico then Mexico robbed it from spain. See how this comes full circle? You keep saying changing demographics . Do you even know what they mean? They are talking about people who vote. And that more and more hispanics vote democrat dumbass. The southwest dosent have hispanic influence. If it did gangs would run the place people would be having sex with kids and crime would be rampent.
