The Justice and Education Departments are teaming up to remind public schools that they are required to provide all children with equal access to education at the elementary and secondary level regardless of their parents' or guardians' citizenship or immigration status.
The "dear colleague," letter to schools providing guidance to schools on their legal obligations comes as the departments say they have "become aware of student enrollment practices that may chill or discourage the participation, or lead to the exclusion, of students."

• There are 10.4 million students from immigrant households in public schools, accounting for one in five public school students. Of these students, 78 percent speak a language other than English at home. “”””
10 million PLUS just in the schools?
Tell me again how many illegals there are in the country TOTAL—it sure as heck isn’t 11 million.
What if it is much closer to 55 million?
What then?
How does AMNESTY hurt us??? In more ways than I can count.
They are able to provide immunization records. My question is whether or not they are valid. But that is a big can of worms!
I believe that the schools are even prohibited from asking for an immunization record from the children’s parents.
I don’t think so. Even in Tucson, they require immunization records and a birth certificate and a valid address within the school district. They just can’t ask for citizenship papers or a green card.
Ah, but they won't: remember SB-1070.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT POLICY:
1 - Force taxpayers to provide free schooling to illegal children
2 - Refuse to deport illegal children because we have so much invested in their educations
Context: Here in Fairfax County, VA

Your problem isn’t fedgov. The problem is your state and school district taking Uncle Fedgov’s money and all the strings that come with it. It’s very convenient to blame the feds, especially if you’re part of the state and local cartel machinery, but your problem here is much closer to home.
And watch your state test scores crater. But the best part for Democrats is, the citizen-kids will do almost as poorly as the squatters’ kids because gangs enter the school environment and caring White parents take their kids out of these dangerous situations. With the left-over Whites doing as poorly as the transplants, they can achieve the Nirvana of Leftists: Equality and Fairness.
The Law is an ass.
Note to DOJ and DOEd:
You have no jurisdiction or authority in how schools restrict access to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
In the late 80s and early 90s, over 90% of the births in Los Angeles County run hospitals were the children of illegal immigrants. Of all the services provided, it was between 70 to 80% illegal immigrants. My mother used to take calls from Mexico asking what services a person would get if they crossed over and presented at the hospital.
I have heralded this long before I came to Free Republic. No one gave a damn. Aw, it was California...
Well folks, now it’s happening across the nation. Not so funny anymore is it.
What happened in California, is now happening to the nation.
Around the year 2000, I traveled to Washington, D. C. While there I saw an issue of the Washington Post. In big headlines it heralded the fact that during the previous decade, the Hispanic populace had grown in the Washington area by 300%. Another words, for every 1000 there had been in 1990, there were now 4000 in their place.
That was in the vicinity of our nation’s capital in the year 2000.
We allowed our nation to be stolen. It was all a big joke, had to be someone who was racist who addressed this issue.
Welcome to Mexico II folks.
From immigrant households, legal and illegal. According to the government, there are 45 million foreign born in this country with 11.5 being illegal aliens. The children could be US citizens if born here. There are 300,000 to 400,000 anchor babies born each year in the US. They automatically become citizens thru birthright citizenship.
The federal government requires the state and local school districts to accept illegal alien children, K-12. It is not a local decision.
It should be challenged again. If you read the SCOTUS decision, the justices decided that the costs were insignificant for the school district to accept the additional students. That is no longer the case.
The 1965 Immigration Act changed America forever. It has been downhill ever since.
Has anyone seen the new Time Warner Cable television adds bosting free telephone service to Mexico?
Quit taking the money and tell them to go screw. It’s the source of their power. But no one will. One of the thing that both inner city and suburban welfare queens can’t turn down is a pile of someone else’s money.
When the great stimulus scam was announced my county asked for a bunch of money for multi lingual teachers because the number of non english speaking students had increased by 50% from the previous census. This is in a state with a relatively low number of illegals.
According to SCOTUS, they do. Read Plyler vs Doe, 1982.
