As immigration fears surge, LAUSD ‘compassion fund’ to support families amid return to school

As many immigrant parents express fear about sending their children back to school next week, Los Angeles Unified has amassed $1 million in donations for a “compassion fund” for families affected by federal immigration raids, Supt. Alberto Carvalho announced Tuesday.

The funds donated to the LAUSD Education Foundation, a nonprofit that supports the school system, will cover needs from “A to Z,” said Carvalho during an annual event in which he makes home visits to encourage regular school attendance.

“We’re talking about support systems for kids who may have to go into court or employees,” Carvalho said while visiting two families that live near Sheridan Elementary School in Boyle Heights. “Additional transportation costs that may go beyond our school buses, anything the family may need. We are not restricting it. We want to hear what the challenge is, what the difficulty is, and then use the fund to bring ease, comfort and viable solutions for these families.”

Food aid could be provided through other sources, Carvalho added: “We have very viable partners that have already committed to providing the food through information that we provide.”

The district estimates that it employs at least 300 staff members who lack citizenship — all working legally with either Temporary Protected Status, for immigrants who were in danger in their native country, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, for immigrants who arrived as children. The employees are at risk of losing their right to live and work in the United States.

Carvalho’s pledges — on top of measures already taken that include trying to establish...

If the lowbrow, yellow-bellied subhuman illegal aliens are so damn afraid of ICE, why don’t they do what they did when their own government ran their worthless butts out of the country? Run like hell. The northern border is open. They need to haul ***.

The LAUSD Education Foundation itself does not receive government funding—it’s a private entity supported by individual and foundation donors.

However, some of its major donors either receive government-supported funding directly or operate programs that align closely with publicly funded initiatives, effectively intertwining public-private support.

There is a time for everything.

Now is the time to set aside any “compassion” Americans might feel for illegal aliens.

I think the administration has shown compassion. $1000 and a plane ticket home per person is way nicer than handcuffs and forceful removal.

Where was this compassion when illegals for whom driving drunk is a part of their culture kill, injure, and cause great expenses. what about when they suck up money previously allocated for vets? or when they cause housing crunches? What about compassion for the taxpayers whose salaries are looted to pay for all of the benefits. If you came here illegally FU! You don’t belong here and go back to the third world sh!thole like Somalia where you came from and this means brother f***ers in Kongress too

“The employees are at risk of losing their right to live and work in the United States.”

It’s not a right it’s a privilege. One that can be revoked at any time that pleases us.

Period.

$1K and plane ride is fair, IMHO another incentive would be 4-6 weeks to settle their affairs b4 deportation.
affairs = selling vehicles, business, time for them to arrange care-keepers for their children
For this privilege, they wear an ankle bracket n pay taxes on all profits of sales.

That is 300 jobs that citizens could have.

Not to worry. Just like the “Fire Aid” money went to NGOs and not victims; this money will be squandered.

Track the alien invader kids from school back to their apartments. Deport the whole family. Sounds like a workable plan.
