Millions of residents of border towns such as Tijuana, El Paso, etc. have border crossing cards that allow them to enter the U.S. every day to work. If they are students, for instance students whose parents pay tuition for them to attend a private or parochial school in the U.S., they can obtain border crossing cards.

I pointed out, the kids in this story could be anchor babies. If they are children, they can only be legal permanent residents if their parents are. In which case, why are they living in Cd. Acuna? Regardless of their legal status, if they are not residing in the school district, they are not eligible to attend school in Del Rio.

Border Crossing Cards do not allow anyone to work in the US. A Border Crossing Card is noting more then a visa that allows a non citizen or non resident to visit or conduct short business meetings in the US.

Irrelevant, as that would mean they are US citizens and can legally cross the border at any time.

Your original comment stated that you did not know how they were crossing unless they have a border crossing card. I told you how they can. US Citizens don’t need a Border Crossing Card, as they would us a US Passport and Permanent Aliens also don’t need a Border Crossing Card, as they have a Lawful Permanent Resident Card.

And yes, I know they don’t live in the school district and they are attending school illegally. That is the point of the article and the article is speaking strictly of US Citizen and LPR children living in Mexico, which is, BTW completely legal.
