I think if it&#x27;s working that&#x27;s great, I support a cultural plurality.  It&#x27;s like adopting kids - if you&#x27;re doing well with the ones you have then have at it.  If your kids are starving and can barely read, don&#x27;t adopt more.  In my state less than 7 of 10 of both our hispanic and black students are even graduating high school right now.  We have too many districts with on-time graduation rates below 60% and those are the districts immigrants and refugees are most likely to flow into.<p>19% of high school graduates in the US are functionally illiterate[0].  Nationwide only half of black males are graduating at all.  Half.  We&#x27;re already failing to take care of our poor.  We&#x27;re spending a very large amount of money trying to but it happens to be expensive.<p>If you go back to the start of this thread you&#x27;ll see I&#x27;ve been consistent that there&#x27;s a point where taking in more people is no longer a good thing.  That doesn&#x27;t mean I think it&#x27;s always a bad thing, just that we should be honest that it can be.<p>[0] - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.huffingtonpost.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;09&#x2F;06&#x2F;illiteracy-rate_n_3880355.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.huffingtonpost.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;09&#x2F;06&#x2F;illiteracy-rate_n_3...</a>
