The ignorance displayed in the comments section of the article is astounding.

I'd really like to see any of the people who are so adamant that we keep immigrants out of the US go through the process of becoming a citizen.

Yay for good teachers broadening children's minds and helping them to see past cultural prejudices!

Yes, I get that most of the comments are from people who want to stop illegal emigration. But if their positions can be so easily threatened by just MEETING a day laborer, then maybe there is something wrong with their position.

Bravo! to the teacher for educating the children instead of parroting a particular parties line.

Please tell this teacher that it was an amzing and courageous idea.

I'm appalled at the responses in the comments. What I find remarkable is that so many of the respondants gloss over the fact that she sdid explain what an "Illegal Immigrant' is....

I was appalled at the comments as well. I recently read an article which compared the "hate speech" against illegal immigrants to the "hate speech" and propoganda used against the Jews in Nazi Germany.

It is all the same:

They (the illegals) are:

over-breading
drunks
criminals
pervert
child molesters
using up all of "our" resources

It is all the same rhetoric. Maybe if some of these people had teachers like the one in the article, they wouldn't be so willfully ignorant. I weep for this world
