‘Screaming and Crying' Greet Arab School Plan

Submitted by Paul Revere, Jun 19, 2007 09:44

20 million illegal immigrants,a country falling apart, left wing nuts taking over the democratic party,and now public money used to cultivate a separate Arab language and culture in Brooklyn. You should be deporting them. The mosques are only hot beds of Islamic extremism and now these Arab schools will be the same. You are growing your own destruction.
