US risks uneducated underclass: Study

Press TV reports:
The US is at the risk of creating a new Hispanic underclass as criticism heaps over the government's floundering efforts to improve education for immigrant children, a report says.

The Future of Children, a collaborative effort between Princeton University and the Brookings Institution, warns that the threat of creating a permanent Hispanic underclass looms large unless the US administration hastens its efforts to broaden immigrant children's access to education, AFP reported on Wednesday.

The report also turned the spotlight on the controversial Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, known as the DREAM Act. They said the bill's legislation, which still has to pass through the Senate, could be one of the viable options in order to improve immigrants' education from preschool to university.
Got that? If you aren't for in-state tuition for illegals, very bad things could happen.
