"How about if we ask for proof of citizenship before even enrolling in the school system from the very first day."
Fine with me, there obviously isn't the political will to do so however.
It may not be their fault, but they are criminals nonetheless. If there are no incentives (like free, American education for the children) for illegals, they will not come. Begin deporting them, and others will not want to come.
You so easily dismissed my previous questions. So I'll ask again. Under your plan, what would you do with those who do not fit the requirements? Would you keep the illegal kid who qualifies & deport his parents, other siblings who don't qualify, uncles, grandparents...? What if the kid is a day, or a month, or a few months short of qualifying? I draw it with the laws on the books. If illegal, then deported.
