The children of deported adults could continue to go to school in California under a bill state lawmakers sent to Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday.
State law currently requires students between the ages of 6 and 18 to attend public school in the district where their parent or legal guardian resides. If parents are deported, their children often follow.
Sen. Ricardo Lara (D) who introduced the bill, cites reports that show many U.S.-born children who move to Mexico to join their parents are not able to speak Spanish well enough to integrate into society or succeed in school. Lara, the son of undocumented parents, said he’s also heard reports of parents who make the difficult decision to leave their children in the U.S.
Senate Bill 257 allows children to continue to go to school in California if they lived in and went to public school in the state immediately prior to their parents’ departure and can provide evidence that their parent or parents were required to leave against their will. The bill also allows parents to pick an adult to attend school meetings and serve as an emergency contact for the child.

Wut? You mean that Mexico doesn’t have bilingual education? How would these children understand what’s going on Mexico without being taught in English? Next you’re going to tell me they imprison illegal aliens who attempt to work in Mexico.
What. They can’t learn Spanish???
But our teachers cops and doctors are expected to?
Bilingualism- the horror
What a bunch of cr5p. Cali schools are full of these illegal kids that cannot speak english.
Test them. If they don’t speak English they probably speak Spanish fairly well. If so, deport ‘em with their parents. That will cover almost all the cases they are whining about.
They are too stupid to learn Spanish? What language to speak to their illegal parents in, at home?
They don’t need to learn Spanish. They are brought up with it even if they know English. The kids all serve as interpreters for their illegal, Spanish speaking parents. Anyone who lives around illegals or even just Spanish speakers knows that.
As usual, Democrats are being dishonest.
So California is making immigration law all on it’s lonesome?
Would that make it a sanctuary office?
What kind of parent would abandon their child in a foreign country?
Kick all these illegal alien invaders out! I don’t care if they are fetuses!
U.S.-born children who move to Mexico to join their parents are not able to speak Spanish

Bull$hit, like their parents are speaking to their kids in English?
I would hate to think what is happening under Brown’s Desk.
But WE are supposed to accept Mexicans who cannot speak a word of English? Sheeesh.
In rural W/SW Texas, most ranchers and other small business owners speak Spanish as a 2nd language, because they do business on both sides of the border-this is also an area frequented by Mexican tourists-the economy in rural counties like this one is heavily dependent on tourism from both sides of the border. I’m of Latino ancestry-I’ve spoken Spanish as a 2nd language from early childhood-so has almost everyone else I know, regardless of their ethnicity-I’ve seldom met anyone from the rural N. Mexico side of that border area who didn’t speak English as a 2nd language, either-bilingual skills mean a better profit.
So-with all the tourists that come to Cali from el otro lado and other places to spend money, these people and their kids are not interested in being able to do business with anyone outside their little language bubble?
I think the assertion that those kids don’t speak Spanish is either bulls***, or people in border areas of Cali are too stupid to have business sense-no wonder Mexico doesn’t want them back...
“Sen. Ricardo Lara (D) who introduced the bill, cites reports that show many U.S.-born children who move to Mexico to join their parents are not able to speak Spanish well enough to integrate into society or succeed in school.”
Mexico, like the U.S., does not have an official language.
If it is possible for us to assimilate people of all languages and nationalities, it is racist for this senator to assert Mexico can’t also do so.
This is a show bill. If the children are Citizens and the parents are deported, the children can stay here. The parents just need to appoint a legal guardian.
It does seem strange however that the California legislature is so anxious to tear children away from their parents.
Apparently the California legislature thinks that Mexico is some kind of dangerous third world Hell Hole. And the Mexican government thinks that too.
