Crisis in the Classroom: Surge of illegal immigrant kids poses challenge for schools
Fox News ^ | August 29, 2014 | Mike Emanuel

Posted on 08/29/2014 2:59:39 PM PDT by jazusamo

What was a crisis on America's southern border is now turning into a major challenge for school administrators across the country.

Tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors have crossed into the U.S. in recent months, and those not being held in health department-run facilities have in many cases been sent to live with sponsors, who are typically extended family members. As the new school year begins, the children, who in many cases don't speak English and have limited reading skills, are showing up for class.

This has raised questions in local districts about the strain it could put on teachers.

"They may have only gone to 2nd or 3rd grade, have limited literacy in their first language. That does create a different kind of teaching impact on a school than our traditional immigrant families," Anne Arundel County, Md., administrator Kelly Reider told Fox affiliate WBFF.

Other officials, including the mayor of Lynn, Mass., have traveled to Washington seeking answers from the Obama administration.

"I love the fact that Lynn is a diverse community," Mayor Judith Flanagan Kennedy said. "By speaking out about this, I have been called a racist, I have been called a hater. That is not the case. I'm simply looking at this from the point of view of the economic impact it has had on my city."

What a mess. The majority can't speak English, many are illiterate and our taxpayers will foot the bill thanks to 0bama.

Teach them to read and write in English.

Period.

Once they are fluent in the language of our nation — then teach them arithmetic.

Oh you mean the schools that every election year overwhelmingly push Democrats for office? Who treated Obama as a living God? That brainwashed kids into singing about him like he was Allah come to earth? You mean those schools?

They should already have been returned to their home countries, I know it’s wishful thinking.

These local officials need to realize that Obama doesn't give a damn about them or their communities.

Just hold a press conference and say:

"Our overburdened taxpayers cannot and will not support any illegals that Washington has forced into our community. We will not provide shelter, we will not educate, nor will we provide any type of taxpayer assistance to illegal aliens."

Most of them can barely read in Spanish. Many of them are Mayan or some other kind of Indian and cannot speak Spanish and speak a language that is not written. They will come to school for the free meals.

If it causes the pro-Obama unionized leftist teachers much suffering, let them be victims of their own voting habits.

Well, they'll just have to raise property taxes to pay for these kids.

There is a price tag for leftwing 'generosity', folks. And the invoice always goes to you.

You nailed it. If 0bama and thugs say by law they have to take the kids the mayor or highest official of a city or county should tell them to stuff that law.

This is the teachers’ problem. They largely voted for Obama, their unions have donated vast amounts of money for his election, this is Obama’s open border policy, the teachers are going to have to deal with it.

.....the mayor of Lynn, Mass, traveled to Washington seeking answers from the Obama administration. "I have been called a racist, I have been called a hater. That is not the case. I'm simply looking at the economic impact it has had on my city"......

CNSNEWS.COM | August 27, 2014 | Penny Starr / FR Posted by Hojczyk The mayor of Lynn, Mass. says that some of the illegal aliens from Guatemala who are enrolled in her city’s public schools are adults with graying hair and “more wrinkles than I have.”

Judith Flanagan Kennedy told reporters at a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. “when we were processing some of these students coming in we noticed some were not adults,” she said.

She added that the federal government will not allow school officials to verify their ages even though one of the students turned out to be 35 years old. School policy is to check w/ family. The woman who answered [the] door said, ‘He’s 35 years old."."But we cannot, per DOJ guidelines, we cannot ask them for any more verification of age,” Kennedy said. “It does become very frustrating,” she added.

=====================================================

NOTE: World Health news claims there actually is a practical tool to clinically determine a person's actual molecular age, ... b/c the test is a good reflection of cellular age ... it's a blood test.

======================================

THIS JUST IN 10,000 taxpaying Bostonians recently surrounded the State House protesting the illegal onslaught. Uber-liberal Massachusetts taxpayers were understandably upset:

Adult illegals, swarming the border, trucked into MA, were posing as "unaccompanied alien children," and were attempting to enroll in MA public high schools.

“Some of them had gray hair, saying they’re 17 years old, and have no documentation,” said the Lynn mayor’s office. School policy is to check w/ family----who confirmed at least one HS enrollee was a 35-year old adult.

REALITY CHECK Gray-haired Guatemalan men enrolling in MA schools? More like drug lords infiltrating schools---planning to set up lifelong lucrative businesses getting kids addicted......giving out free samples. Could also be sex traffickers ---lining up kiddies for johns (and for pedophiles) who pay big bucks to get ahold of the little white darlings.

We are now discovering 144 counties are crossing the border into the US, being rubber-stamped by the vote-crazed Obama admin......and were coming to Massachusetts.

====================================================

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE/B> Bostonians are still reeling from the Boston Marathon bombing perpetrated by Chechen immigrants which killed three and maimed many more.

After the Boston bombing, Mass Gov Deval Patrick ordered Massachusetts govt agencies to conceal welfare documents from taxpayers. But sources who saw 500 pages of welfare documents (requested by a state legislator) told News Center 5 that the entire Chechan immigrant Tsarnaev family, including (1) the two immigrant bombers' parents, (2) the two suspects themselves (here on expired visas), (3) their immigrant sisters, (4) the widow of the bomber suspect killed, and, (5) their child -- received "every conceivable public benefit available out there." (Excerpt) Read more at wcvb.com

MA taxpayers financed the killing and maiming of their own friends and neighbors.

=======================

On Obama's orders, the MSM has been portraying these "child swarmers" as far younger. Another report certifies that most of these "unaccompanied children" are accompanied by a parent or a relative.

Statistics posted online by the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) show that the number of “family units” apprehended at the U.S. border with Mexico has risen from 9,350 in 2013 to 55,420 in 2014 – an increase of 493 percent. A spokesperson for the CBP told CNSNews.com that a “family unit” for the purposes of this set of statistics is “a parent traveling with a child,” and that the 55,420 total includes all adults and children who have been apprehended and categorized as a family unit.

===========================================

Who will be enrolling in your schools?

"UNACCOMPANIED MINORS" HERE FOR A BETTER LIFE?
CENTRAL AMERICA CHILD CRIMINALS HERE TO WREAK HAVOC?
OR AGENTS OF FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS?

Adolescents, teens and pre-teens are prevalent in Third
Worlds as armed members of violent gangs and drug cartels.

RELOCATION MAP

=============================================

Warning--graphic descriptions--read only to get informed: GATEWAYPUNDIT.COM---a sadistic 12-year-old boy nicknamed El Ponchis is said to have been working as a paid executioner and gunman for drug cartels. And a second child hitman is now being hunted by police according to the attorney general of central Morelos state, Mexico.

It was reported that the 12-year old "El Ponchis" – The Cloak – tortured and murdered dozens of enemies of his cocaine cartel.

His trademark involves cutting victims’ throats so violently that their heads are left hanging by a thread....and cutting off their genitals. He is said to work with his sisters, who help with body disposal.

Grisly internet videos show the 12-year old boasting that his gang is paid £1,900 per murder by drug barons whose gangland wars kill 50 people a DAY. According to the cartel members the 12-year-old boy was the ‘bloodiest hitman’ in the group.....and worked with his sisters. (gatewaypundit.com 11/10

=============================================

"Cheat Sheets" have been found at the border, indicating illegals were coached to give false info to US got officials.

A "cheat sheet" found on illegal immigrants swarming the southern border....
found in the possession of numerous illegal aliens. Photo/TheBlaze.

==============================================

THEY WILL SAY ANYTHING TO GET ON THE US GRAVY TRAIN--- Border crimes include (1) falsifying official documents, (2) giving false info to US authorities, (3) stealing SS nos, (4) faking multiple identities, (5) receiving govt monies under false pretenses, (6)falsifying tax returns to get EITC refunds, (7) money-laundering via remittanced to homelands, (8) colluding w/ criminal drug cartels to violate US borders......prolly aiding and abetting by carrying drugs into the US.

This is all orchestrated by deranged Obama with the help of the governments of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. They all have a vested interest in placing as many of their people here as possible.

In 2012 the natives here wire-transferred (read money-laundering) $123 billion in remittances to countries around the globe. Mexico received $22 billion. Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras are the three countries with the highest amount of remittances in Central and South America. These remittances form a major percentage of these hellhole countries GDP.

REALITY CHECK The impact of non-English speaking hordes from 144 countries (some of them Ebola-struck) in US schools when classes reconvene.

Illegal Immigrants Bring Risk of Ebola and Global Array of Viral Illnesses
Christian Post ^ | 08/05/2014 | Elizabeth Vliet / FR Posted by Carbonsteel

Ebola. Chikungunya. Dengue. Norovirus. Hantavirus. Swine flu. Varicella. Variola. The names sound like something out of a Sci-Fi movie. Yet, threats to Americans are real, and escalating by the week. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported on August 1 that serious diseases are spreading at detention centers for Illegal border crossers.

Health care workers and Border Patrol agents, plus their children, have tested positive for tuberculosis (TB), swine flu, chicken pox, lice and scabies. Instead of being quarantined, illegal border crossers are being dispersed rapidly across the U.S., with those of school age being registered in public schools opening soon for all. (Excerpt) Read more at christianpost.com ...

NOT TO MENTION E-COLI CONTAGION “Central American students have very, very limited education...some cannot count to 10. They’ve never even seen a computer, ” said assistant director for student support in Dalton, Ga.

Forget computers. Do the stupid leeches know what to do with this (/snix)?

Observing the "unaccompanied minors" riding atop speeding freight trains, traveling 1700 miles---one can only conjecture on their personal hygiene. No running water or flush toilets atop that train. How did they handle body wastes? How will they handle this in US schools?

Americans need to know about possible infections from migrants shopping in retail stores, eating in their restaurants, shopping in supermakets...... handling food and merchandise. The deadly E-coli is passed through unclean hands from improper bathroom habits.

E- coli has been found on the handles of supermarket carts. Not to mention contamination on school buses, school facilities, school supplies, books......and public buses that transported them....and so on. Mexican restaurants, fast food hamburger joints, supermarkets, retail stores, etc.....

Las Vegas is part of the Clark Co. School district.

30% of the 300000 kids are illegals, and Nevada is the worst state for school achievement.

Class sizes have exploded, and Mexican kids are illiterate in English so they are destroying American kids rights to an education since most effort is to teach to the bottom of the class.

True or not I heard a story about a teacher that was told to keep her mouth shut, she has an illegal grey haired man in her classroon of teenagers. He says he’s 17 years old and the administration and the feds told her to shut up and go about your business. Anyone hear this?
