May about 4 million stay home and miss school for the next few years.

Out making rounds today, I saw only a couple of probable Illegal Students out. Really bright kids, skate boarding in the rain wearing cotton clothes on the side a very busy street. They look like drenched bad hair homies.

[jimt]

Deport them all.

Remember this the next time we see someone bemoaning the poor performance of Hispanics in school and suggesting more funds to rectify the problem. Maybe they should take school a little more seriously.

[William Terrell]

What if they gave a boycott and nobody came. . .

[Kay Soze]

They will all be gardening for my kids when they grow up.

[JustPiper]

I'll lay odds this is the best learning the other 425 kids learned better than they ever have!

[HiJinx]

Why those ungrateful kids, robbing the school district of their $25/day/student in State Education Funding!

[american spirit]

"Our people"..."our culture"..."our community"...should be getting pretty clear these invaders care nothing about America, our culture and heritage. They need to go and fast!

"We have almost 200 kids out,"

So what? Seems to me like it would have been a good time to figure out who the illegals were and send them the h*ll home!

[heleny]

immigration would not and in fact, cannot, come on school grounds.

Maybe we should send some officers from the department-formerly-known-as-INS to check on possible illegal aliens on the streets on days like these! We can reduce education spending and have fewer problems with overcrowded schools while we're at it.

Sharon Rummery, director of public affairs at Immigration and Customs Enforcement in San Francisco, initially said the same thing.
"The ICE has a very strict rule that no arrests will ever be made in schools or in churches," she said.
However, after speaking to her supervisor, she later called to amend her statement.
"All I am authorized to tell you is that we cannot comment on internal policies," she said.

Why did she need to change her statement? Is the rule about schools and churches supposed to be secret?

[PAR35]

Sounds like they have really good student-teacher ratios in that school, about 9 students for each teacher, by my calculation.

600+ students
less than 200 out
So less than 1/3 cut classes.

"We have some classes that have six children in them," So the class would normally have 9.

As for what her parents would say if she boycotted, "They wouldn't be against it because we have to stand up for our ... people. We'd be hypocrites if we didn't back up each other," Teresa said.

Typical Latino racist attitude.

[Porterville]

Ping, Hispanic Ping List let me know if you want on or off.

[usadave]

"The ICE has a very strict rule that no arrests will ever be made in schools or in churches," she (Rummery) said.

Then the ICE could just wait until the illegal alien students leave the school grounds and then round them up for deportation.

A poll at www.cnn.com/lou is taking a poll that needs freeping. 75% favored amnesty (about 600 voters)

Poll on amnesty:

In Houston they have been boycotting for years. It's called dropping out. Too many do it. The HISD has lied about it for years but it's catching up with them.

[Missouri]

"75 percent of the school is Mexican"

75% Mexican-American or 75% Mexican NATIONALS ?

These people are going to have to make their minds up to which country their loyalties are going to be to. I don't think they can have it both ways.

[McGavin999]

This just goes to show WHY the California school budget is alway busted. Actually, it shows the California people where much of their tax dollars have gone for years.

[CounterCounterCulture]

What's the big deal? Leftist educrats have been SCREAMING for smaller class sizes. Today we had it. It's a WIN-WIN! :-)

(BTW, where are all the undocumented Canadiens protesting? Oh, it's just a Mexican thang. Ay carumba.)
