Liberals seal borders!
As many as 20 percent â or about 2,000 â of Montgomery Countyâs (Maryland) eighth-graders whose parents missed a Friday deadline to prove their residency will not be allowed to attend high school next year, county schools officials said yesterday....In an unprecedented effort to stop border crossers from illegally receiving free tuition, school officials began in March to require parents to submit documents such as lease agreements, property-tax bills, utility bills and credit-card bills to prove their residency..... "Weâre having a lot of trouble getting verification," Ms. Waits said. "Many of my students may be here illegally from other countries, and they are afraid they might be deported. Iâve assured them that this information wonât be shared with [federal immigration officials] or police." Itâs OK if youâre in the country illegally as long as youâre a legal country resident for funding purposes. All it takes to get Montgomery Countyâs educational bureaucracy excited about "illegals" (immigrants from neighboring school districts who brave the hardships so that their children might have a better life) is the $10,000 a head they have to spend to educate them. We havenât found the price point yet in California, but I think weâre getting close. Posted by: RWV 2004-06-08 |
