Texas school district turns away students from Mexico

For years, children from Ciudad Acuna, Mexico, have attended schools across the border in Del Rio, Texas, but this week that changed for students who cannot prove residency. The local school superintendent imposed new regulations to stem what he said is a long-standing problem for the district.

[Dacula]

Del Rio is my old hometown. It is to see some action on this problem.

“The local school superintendent imposed new regulations....”

####

“NEW” regulations are required to prevent non-American citizens from attending AMERICAN taxpayer-funded schools?

[SandWMan]

RACISTS!!!! They’re all racists!

[massgopguy]

If I sent my daughter to another city using a relative’s address so she could have gone to a better school and got caught. I would have to pay back the cost for the entire tenure.

[devane617]

Well, the poor superintendent is on a short rope. Let’s make bets as to how long he/she will be around.

[Uncle Miltie]

So the illegal children crossed the border back and forth every day for about 180 days a year?

Nah, we don’t have a border enforcement problem.

Move along.

[GeronL]

Doesn’t San Diego still have a bus that picks up kids at the border each morning?

[blam]

White Racists!

[devane617]

There was a big story down here a year or so ago that showed the school busses lined up at the border gate to pick up students who walk across the border everyday to attend school in El Paso, and other cities.

Good for him. He’s enforcing Texas law that says students must live in the district, not across the bridge in Mexico.

[devane617]

Yes, and El Paso and other cities.

"...students who cannot prove residency..."

Residency? That is bull$h|t. They should have to prove CITIZENSHIP.

[Ro_Thunder]

This guy won’t have a job for long. Seriously - way to go, but he’s due in ‘camp’ for some ‘reprogramming’.

[sniper63]

I don’t have a problem with what the school district is doing. It is within their jurisdiction to require residency.

[Marty62]

Hey ....YOU PAY THE TAX BILL FOR THE ILLEGALS.

[spectre]

Thanks for posting this..

It never occurs to these peasants that they would be far better off, at least in the long run, to stay in their own country and help turn Mexico into a decent nation instead of the third-world rat hole that it is now.

Citizens from many, if not most, nations come to this country to study and then return to their homelands having been bettered by their experiences here and can now help to improve their own nations. That's what foreign education is for, but not for these Mexicans. They have no interest in bettering anything and only want to take, take, take. That is the third-world mentality (In the interest of fairness, I have to point out that a lot of Americans think this way as well). Thieves and parasites.

And we go along with it! How long before this district is dragged into court by the ACLU?

[shankbear]

And where is the problem?????

[Doc Savage]

You'll need Sarah Palin as President, but here is the solution:

1. Declare a National State of Emergency.

2. Deploy troops along the entire southern border.

3. Take up Command and Fire positions.

4. Announce a 24 hour 'Grace' period for any illegal to return to Mexico.

5. Announce that after 24 hours, any illegal alien attempting to cross the border into the United States will shot.

6. Choose one county on the Texas Border. Begin the immediate arrest and deportation of illegals without trials. Confiscate all their property, monies and belongings.

7. Announce that any remaining illegals still in the United States should leave immediately before they are arrested and their possessions confiscated.

8. Use total military force to subdue Mexican gang uprisings in the United States 9. Leave a military force on the border forever.

What are the “plates” that these children are arriving with? Dinner plates?
