Worst thing I've seen. 60 elementary age kids leave this school in Naco, AZ Then, unaccompanied, they cross the border to "home" in Mexico. No papers checked. Supervisor said it happens daily pic.twitter.com/ZZst4MEHtT Those kids aren't tall enough to ride most things at Disneyland let alone cross an international border without an adultSo instead of being concerned that those 60 kids are stealing from the US taxpayer he is concerned that they are too small to cross by themselves?
Just trying to clarify.
I remember reading about a place in Texas where a Federal court ordered the local school board to provide busing from an illegal border crossing point on the Rio Grande to school. The kids would ford a shallow point on the Rio Grande every day to be picked up by a school bus and taken to school at the local taxpayers’ expense and taken back to the border crossing point after school. During the Boston school busing crisis in the 1970’s, South Boston resident Howie Long used his uncle’s address to illegally attend high school in a Boston suburb. Several people were indicted for doing that, Long’s family was one of many that got away with it. That doesn’t happen much anymore, since few of the people with children in Boston have relatives in suburbs of Boston. Santo Domingo, si, Boston, no.
Every border school in the state of AZ has that problem. And when we complain about it, we're told that schools aren't in the business of checking citizenship; as long as a student says they live with Tia Maria in Douglas (AZ) then the school keeps them enrolled.
Of course, higher headcounts translate to increased dollars from the Dept. of Ed.
