A comment on 97% of California Cities Failed to Meet State Housing Goals. Parent comment
Without solving the illegal immigration problem any fix to the education problem only increases strain on the system.
California has shown no political will to solve the underlying problem of illegal immigration.
> Figuring out how to educate children of unauthorized immigrants is part of the second question.
We (royal we) know how - it will just take time and a lot of money.
Nobody wants to spend that money unless it's for a long term fix.
In the mean time the poor and middle class Americans in California get poorer (or in many cases leave the state).
> It takes time. The America dream works across multiple generations
The American dream is not magic or inevitable.
Like any complex ecosystem it's only sustainable up to a limit.
There is significant evidence we are well past that limit.
