So let me get this straight, the MAGA fucks went around and forced teachers to either comply with not teaching “woke” or get fired… So the teachers quit or got fired. Then ICE was tasked with removing brown people. But NOW they are trucking brown people in to replace teachers?
That’s part of it but they’ve been having teacher shortages for a long time, mostly due to the fact they pay teachers almost nothing. Why would a teacher work for $30k in Pryor, OK when they could make twice that in Texas? Oklahoma is a shitty state in general so there’s nothing to make up for the fact that the pay is so low.
I went to a protest at the Oklahoma Capitol over teacher pay. In 1988.
For more context, I work in Washington state and make 108k. I’m not near the top of the pay scale.
But NOW they are trucking brown people in to replace teachers?
And they’ll have to pay a $100k H1B fee for each of them, only to watch them get kidnapped by ICE and deported to Ghana or who knows where.
And each of them is costing Oklahoma an additional $100k for the visa, right? Or are they all buying their own gold cards?
I really hope all those kids graduate with really good Spanish and a new-found appreciation for just how fucking cool Mexican people can be.
Nobody that makes food that good can be awful. Man I love Mexican food.
I’ve been there many times, avoiding resorts when I do and have (at best) passable Spanish. I’ve been treated with nothing but kindness and curiosity there.
I found this to be true in almost anyplace I have traveled. Try to learn a few common words and be polite. If the locals know English they will switch to that because it makes things faster.
The only exception I can think of is Puerto Rico outside of the tourist zones. They acted like jaded New Yorkers when I couldn’t speak fluent Spanish.
Half of them probably were jaded (ex-)New Yorkers
I met a few ex-NYers that lived/worked in PR. A couple of them were very jaded.
And I agree about the food - Some of the best in the world.
Were I forced to only eat one style of cuisine for the rest of my life, Mexican it is.
I’d eat American so I can die faster and end it all.
And smart and educated
We hire most of our top engineers from Mexico these days. Comparable to Indian talent, but in the Americas timezones and way way harder working than the overpriced talent in the USA
Bringing Mexicans to a red state?
The teachers arrive on H-1B visas and are provided with housing to ease their transition.
lol, not for long. Oklahoma ready to pay 100k each to apply for that visa?
That order went into effect like 20 hours ago. So they gotta bribe Trump if they want to avoid that fee so it can fall under the discretionary enforcement clause.
This just in, those teachers have been abducted, kept in sweltering cages for three weeks and then sent to Uganda.
More teachers from Mexico are being requested.
Or you know, maybe pay our teachers at least a living wage if not a competitive one…
How long before ICE attacks?
And ice is carrying them out for indoctrination of Americans.
so, let me get this straight. You pay teachers like shit, so they quit, and the remaining ones, you deport? How exactly did you not see this coming?
