WASHINGTON - February 10, 2017 -
Reports from news media and immigrant rights advocates indicate new Trump administration immigration enforcement raids are underway in several states, including Arizona, California, Texas, North Carolina, and Georgia. Advocates and media outlets are reporting chaos in schools and communities affected by the raids. In a North Carolina community, students witnessed arrests. Other communities are reporting that immigration agents are following schools buses.
The following joint statement can be attributed to NEA President Lily Eskelsen García and Texas State Teachers Association President Noel Candelaría:
"Children are fearful to go to school. Parents are desperately trying to find guardians for their children in the event they are detained or deported. We've seen this before. And it's happening again. This time, it is happening in the middle of the night or as students load up buses and head to school. This time it is happening without any oversight, review, or due process.
"The current raids are beyond reprehensible, they are inhumane, and they are a deliberate and coordinated attack on those who come to America seeking safety, freedom, and opportunity, and, in the process, make America a better country.
"These shocked and frightened families are our friends and our neighbors. Our students are collateral damage as a result of these raids. The heightened environment of intimidation and fear in immigrant neighborhoods is carried into classrooms by traumatized students.
"As the Trump administration threatens our students, their families, and our way of life, we will not stay silent. As families turn to their childrens educators for solace and advice, we are going accelerate ongoing efforts to create and implement commonsense policies like our public school safe zones where all students are welcome. Public school safe zones allow school boards to go on the record to that they won't allow immigration enforcement agents into their schools without a proper review process and that they are committed to the protection of student privacy via practices ensuring that no data is being collected with respect to students immigration status or place of birth.
"We call on the Trump administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to put an immediate stop to these abhorrent immigration raids in our communities."

That’s ok. Trump supporters are afraid to go to school too.
Put their butts in school in Mexico and they won’t have to be scared....
they can go to school in their home countries without fear!
Why are they fearful? Because they know that they are illegal. Time to pack and go back to Mexico. The gravy train has left the station.
Stop by their website and tell them to fo guck themselves.
Lesson learned: Don’t expose your children to situations where their parents are in a foreign nation illegally.
The Stupid N.E.A. would never consider the reason their Teachers are overly stressed and without funding needed in the classrooms is because the School System is flooded with Spawn of Criminal invaders that don’t pay taxes, don’t speak english.
Lets save them a visit to the know your rights web page.
if you are here without a legal visa or citizenship of the USA you have the following rights:
1. A free ride back to your country of origin
kill the rooster, scare the monkey...
And the tax payers are expected to pay to feed them 3 squares a day...Including during the Summer.
so what?
Not our job to educate illegal aliens
Good, let them return to their own countries.
Living in fear because your illegally in someone else’s country is no way to live.
Leave now.
If they're legal, what's to fear?
Oh, wait. Now it's clear. You want to be a criminal and not have to fear punishment.
Just tell them that their parents are CRIMINALS!!
Or we could take over the Border States of Mexico as a colony for a couple of generations and move The Wall south.
>>>Children are fearful to go to school as a result of immigration raids<<<
That’s a bad thing?
