> The list goes on Every item you listed applies to states doing a lot better on the education front than California. > All the evidence I have been asking for and you have not given? What evidence will convince you that a high proportion of non-English speakers likely has a serious influence on educational outcomes for a school? Would a strong negative correlation between number of non-English speakers at a school and school performance convince you? And then once you have been convinced what will convince you that the most just and moral approach is strict border security?

> Would a strong negative correlation between number of non-English speakers at a school and school performance convince you? Somewhat, once also adjusted for funding per student, pay of teachers, all those other factors. > And then once you have been convinced what will convince you that the most just and moral approach is strict border security? There's a difference between strict and inhumane border security. You act as if we have to pick one. I don't think you'd ever convince me on that front because I can picture so many better options to this policy. There is no obligation or moral requirement that we cause this harm due to lack of any other options.
