It would help if the GOP hadn't spent the past 4 decades not legislating on immigration. But here we are.
So Rahn would rather not educate migrant kids? Why not?
As an actual retired public school English teacher, I taught many migrant children in several districts around the state. I found that migrant kids are, in general, better behaved and more invested in education than the average native-born public school student. They understand, or their families understand, that education is the way out of poverty. Culturally, they tend to respect adults and authority figures more than their American-born counterparts. They fled criminal gangs in their homelands, and still fear and avoid gangs. It's not "cool" to be a thug. Thugs are the people who assaulted grandma and sister, who threatened to beat them up, who extorted money.
Plus, school may also be their path to healthcare and at least two healthy meals a day.
Yes, their attendance is often poor, as they get drafted to care for younger siblings or help parents translate and negotiate systems.
So yeah, I'd take a migrant kid over three entitled, conspiracy theory-spewing Rahn Spawn.
Is she a Denver public school teacher? That's a low bar and if she is then it's not inaccurate..
It's a lie of omission.
GG, why would you say say that being a Denver Public Schools teacher is a 'low bar"?
There are existing streams of funding for schools enrolling migrant students). However, these are allocated prior to the October count.
But help is on the way.
My apologies for the mushy language kw. I was trying to say that to get the interview all one had to do was be a DPS teacher. It didn't matter if she/he was representative of the majority of teachers. It wasn't meant to be disrespectful of DPS teachers.
Oh, OK. Understood, GG.
I wonder if Fox and Frenzied would be interested in airing the opinions of a former ESL teacher who taught hundreds of migrant kids and adults? I volunteer.
I miss the Fairness Doctrine.
Rahn is or was a DPS teacher, per LinkedIn. Her profile says that part of her role is "creating ELA supports for all students". Given her bias against migrant kids, I have to wonder how she supports their English language acquisition. Does she stand at the front of the classroom and scream, "Speak ENGLISH or go back where you came from?" Does she turn their parents in to ICE custody? This isn't unheard of, unfortunately.
But she is running for Douglas County Commissioner, a full time paid job with a salary of ~ $120,000. Showing crass insensitivity to the feelings of victims of a Highlands Ranch school shooter, she had a campaign meet and greet in a gun store.
Will she keep her teaching position and double dip? Resign? Fall back on Fox Frenzy for a side hustle?
Rahn is another lying product of the radical right libertarian think-tank bootcamp – Leadership Program of the Rockies.
Colorado's State Policy Network affiliated think-tanks (at least one in every state, at least 7 in Colorado) are the political cabalistic sewer system.

Neither Democrats nor Republicans have control or much influence on Venezuelan politics. Both have tried and failed to do something to have the government use its resources to develop the economy, take away the power of criminals, Both have tried and failed to have other South American and Central American countries develop options for migrants which do NOT include continuing to the United States.
Neither Democrats nor Republicans have a workable plan to diminish the drug economy that fuels so much corruption. Neither seems able to stem the flow of guns that go south.
Both Republicans and Democrats have tried to do something about the southern border. Republicans fixated on "The Wall" and built some (blundering through a variety of laws and treaties to get it done). Democrats had a variety of approaches. Neither party was able to develop a bi-partisan plan to replace the "system" that everyone agrees is not working, and EVERY plan in the past decade has been sunk by some faction of the Republican party developing a claim to pressure their backers and exploit the constitutional system for governing.
So vote for whoever you please — but know that at least until there is a set of Republicans willing to resist the pressures from demagogues, the problems from the border will continue.
The US definitely exerts control over Venezuelan politics, as we do over countries around the world by seizing assets and strangling access to funding. Very often when we point a finger at a failed state as the reason for mass migration to the US, we find that we have three fingers pointing back at us.

I suspect you know as much about immigration law and policy as your red hat buddies. But vote for whomever you wish. Just recognize that the GOP has largely been responsible for not passing any meaningful immigration legislation since 1986, and when offered the best deal it’s been offered in decades, refused to move the legislation forward. And of course the GOP underfunds immigration courts, which are a huge clog in the processing of asylum claims.
Steven, – Can't figure out if you're sincere or self parodying. I also have no idea what you're trying to say other than "Dems bad, Republicans good."
It's been a while since we've had a right winger wander onto the site. Don't be too harsh on him/her/it. We kind of the need their feverish perspective of an alternate reality. It let's you know just how delusional their understanding of the world really is.
