40K?!?!? Its more than enough. GORSH, I'd say just giving them a cheese sandwich is enough. If you send your children into the care of another, you do not love your children.

Teachers have to go through so much just to get certifications and are now vilified more than ever. Its a thankless job that's never gotten enough credit (and pay) it deserves.

The teachers work way too hard and deal with way too much much for the pay they get. They teach the children of what is going to be our future leaders and I want them to have the best possible education.

I'm a teacher. And Missouri's retirement system takes 14.5% off the top without permission. We work hard but we are hardly left with a living wage.

In 1989 the min teacher's salary for the state of MO was 18,000. Using an inflation calculator it would be approximately 43,500 today. Many teachers work 2nd or Summer jobs to supplement their salaries.

Is this question really needing to be asked? Really ? This is what society is reduced to? Paying football and baseball and a host of other sports players HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS PER GAME OF 3 OR 4 HOURS duration all the while paying first responders and K thru 12 educators pennies... Really?

This is a matter of law and order. I have no problem with immigrants coming to this country LEGALLY. Immigrants built this country and are a valuable asset but there is a LEGAL process that must be followed. Biden, Majorkas were disasters when it came to illegal immigration.

We might get a bit closer to having fair elections without those voting who aren't even citizens.

Yes, that would be a problem that needs to be addressed ... if it actually existed.

Immigration laws exist for a reason. I can agree our current immigration process is too complicated, expensive, and ripe with corruption. The solution is to change the process, not allow people to stay here illegally.

Illegal is Illegal, no matter the situation. Law enforcement is there for a reason, to enforce the laws. If I was in another country illegally, then law enforcement in that country would do the same thing, but probably jail time first. Without laws and law enforcement there would be anarchy.

This is not a matter of legality. "IlLeGaL" immigration is a misdemeanor, like jaywalking or speeding. That people are being apprehended at immigration court dates, schools, and churches shows that these people are not dangerous nor violent. And finally, detention without due process is kidnapping.

This is not only anti-american, but it is cruel, inhumane and counterproductive. Trump has managed to convince half our Country that 65 million immigrants are both an imminent threat and less than human. Worse, most of the people believing these lies are Christians.

They should focus on protecting the community from the reported crimes and not engaging in the current racial profiling that immigration authorities have been doing.

Police resources should not be used for ICE operations. Congress just voted for an unbelievably huge budget for their police state. Don’t use local community resources!

This is a hard question. ICE isn't explaining anything or identifying themselves. PO's might follow protocol,better. However, they shouldn't have to be involved.To be fair though, I think we spend too much unnecessary time on immigration & nothing else that truly matters.
