I love America. America should be number one, and America's capital should be number one. I love to talk to immigrants who do so much of the work in our Capital City. They all know America is great. They gush about how anybody can work in America and realize the American Dream. But when I ask about their kids and where they go to school, they almost uniformly send their kids to Maryland or Virginia schools. Even immigrants who can barely speak English and come from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Eritrea, or Nigeria know that D.C. schools mean stay away. How embarrassing for our country that new immigrants who barely speak English view our Nation's Capital schools with contempt. Finally, President Obama, we love you and Michelle for the love you show your daughters. You show your love for your daughters by spending some of your substantial salary to keep your daughters out of the D.C. Public Schools. Please, President Obama, show a little love for the children who don't have such wealthy parents and sign the SOAR Act.
