Rodrigue is proud his daughter is part of a diverse school whose students speak dozens of languages, and hail from dozens of nations. Though he is conflicted; "There's got to be a point in time when you have to say, 'whoa, let's get the working people back up, let's bring the money in.' But they keep coming, keep coming," Rodrigue said. “I guess it just boils down to: What’s enough? Is that wrong? Am I wrong? Am I bad? That’s how I feel.” (AP Photo/David Goldman)
