COLUMBUS, NEW MEXICO (Border Report) — Fifteen-year-old Luna Robledo, whose first name means moon, in Spanish, gets up in the moonlight around 5:45 a.m. every morning to prepare breakfast for her and her 11-year-old brother, who she has to rouse for school every weekday.
Both of their schools are in the United States, in Deming, New Mexico, about 45 miles from their home in Palomas, Mexico...
About 700 students from Palomas, Mexico, catch school buses here at the port of entry to attend public schools in the United States, said Philip Skinner who drives one of the buses.
Skinner owns the local hotel, Los Milagros, just three miles up the road and says driving the children is an easy $50 extra per day in his wallet. He drives the elementary children to Columbus Elementary School, here in Columbus.
The middle and high schoolers attend campuses in Deming about 30 miles away...
The principal for the Columbus Elementary School, Viridiana Chacon, told Border Report that 550 children at her campus — that’s 76 percent of her entire student body — live in Palomas, Mexico.

Happens all along the border.
When we registered our son for school we had to provide proof we lived in the district. Water bills, tax bills, etc. How do these people get away with this garbage?

New Mexico shouldn’t be getting any Federal funding for this. If they want to do it as a state, that’s their business. But soon they are going to have find a wall crossing or build their own school in Mexico.

Enough of this GDMFBS!!!!
It seems if I want to sign up for about anything, whoever it is wants all kinds of documentation and proof of this or that. No exception or grace.
“They get “free” education and meals and one day forget to go back to Mexico.”
Generally speaking they pay tuition, just like any other out-of-district children. They are also not eligible for “free lunch” or other benefits.
It was a substantial money-maker for the district where I was on the school board. They were also generally some of the brighter kids — parents doctors and lawyers and whatnot in Mexico.
They are, for the most part, American citizens, even so, in moat school districts you would have to pay tuition if you were out of district.
“How do these people get away with this garbage?”
They pay out-of-district tuition.
Okay then. Thanks.
New Mexico, Old Mexico, what’s the difference? Give ‘em a break!!! /s
I don’t know if they still do but back in the day they all had a PO box in Columbus, it was PO Box 29 and they all used it.
Many of them bring drugs across too but Customs won’t put the drug dogs on the buses.
There was a bad kid who rode the bus and it didn’t seem to matter how bad he was they couldn’t throw him off the bus. They knew he was bringing drugs and asked Customs to run the drug dog. He finally did something so bad they were allowed to keep him off the buses and within a week the cartel murdered him because he was of no use to them anymore.
Was going on in the 60s
They are all American citizens, born on your dime and they all receive food stamps and Medicaid too.
Not in our district, but as I said most are citizens.
Well either we should annex those towns, or cancel their citizenship.
