  What? Is it immigrants who are choosing to pay teachers such low wages relative to the education and other professional requirements we put on them? In my opinion, one of the key things that made this nation great was our high quality public education system, and we (native born citizens) are the ones dismantling it. Maybe I'm wrong though, can you point to anything showing how immigration is contributing to the problems in schools?

    Native born whites and blacks make up 90% of the teaching population in the US. Meanwhile immigran Immigrants take from the system but don't contribute to the system. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/12/10/americas-public-school-teachers-are-far-less-racially-and-ethnically-diverse-than-their-students/ https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/12/10/americas-pu... According to this, citizenship is not a requirement to be a teacher. """In the United States, citizenship is not a prerequisite for employment as a teacher. In fact, many areas that have a shortage of qualified teachers will recruit internationally to ensure their schools remain adequately staffed. For non-citizens, proper employment authorization is required to work in the United States."""

      > Immigrants take from the system but don't contribute to the system. Unless you have proof they are committing tax fraud at a rate greater than non immigrants or are otherwise in leadership political positions directing allocation of resources in an unfair manner, I have no idea what could substantiate your claim. As the child of immigrants, I would easily say the situation is the opposite. My parents always earned too much to qualify for subsidies, but did not have the white collar job to take advantage of tax advantaged benefits like healthcare and retirement savings that people fluent in English and usually non immigrants get to take advantage of.

  Immigrants are like 99.9% of the US population, what are you talking about?
