Hispanic Children Vanishing From Alabama Schools

From James Edwards' Blog, "Political Cesspool"

Hispanic students have started vanishing from Alabama public schools in the wake of a court ruling that upheld the state’s tough new law cracking down on illegal immigration.

Education officials say scores of immigrant families have withdrawn their children from classes or kept them home this week, afraid that sending the kids to school would draw attention from authorities.

There are no precise statewide numbers. But several districts with large immigrant enrollments—from small towns to large urban districts—reported a sudden exodus of children of Hispanic parents, some of whom told officials they planned to leave the state to avoid trouble with the law, which requires schools to check students’ immigration status.

In Montgomery County, more than 200 Hispanic students were absent the morning after the judge’s Wednesday ruling. A handful withdrew.

In tiny Albertville, 35 students withdrew in one day. And about 20 students in Shelby County, in suburban Birmingham, either withdrew or told teachers they were leaving.

Local and state officials are pleading with immigrant families to keep their children enrolled. The law does not ban anyone from school, they say, and neither students nor parents will be arrested for trying to get an education.

The law does not require proof of citizenship to enroll, and it does not apply to any students who were enrolled before Sept. 1. While most students are not affected, school systems are supposed to begin checking the status of first-time enrollees now.

The Obama administration filed court documents Friday announcing its plans to appeal the ruling that upheld the law.

Getting this done in Alabama was a good start.

Now it’s time to implement similar measures in every state.

Comment:

I still can't help but wonder how much of this is sincere, and how much is just a political pressure valve.

If it is a sincere effort to halt illegal immigration, then let's keep going. All states need to start doing what Alabama has done. The more difficult we make it for illegals, the less inclined they'll be to come here in the first place.

The other things we can do are: Increase deportations. Not just criminals, but all illegals. Technically they are all criminals. It is illegal for them to be here, therefore they are all criminals.

Completely cut them off from ALL social programs.

Keep them out of our public schools.

Use E-Verify to keep them from taking jobs from Americans. Not just use it for government jobs and contractors, but ALL jobs.

Make it illegal for landlords to rent to them.

Make it illegal for them to get bank accounts and credit cards.

Make it illegal for them to get a driver's licence in ALL states. Some states they can, others they can't.

I'm sure there are a few other things we can do that I can't think of at the moment.

Note - Someone asked me in the comments section of another post, "What makes one race superior to another?" Normally I'd ignore this type of question, as these people usually ask them to keep me busy answering questions so as to keep me from more important things. But I will answer it because I have a very simple response.

I judge a race's superiority by it's accomplishments. What accomplishments has the White race made in say, inventions? Every major piece of technology originated with the White race. The TV, VCR, computer, the space shuttle, the airplane, the telephone. Shall I go on?

What contributions have the Black race made? Very few. What few they have made were not original, but merely improvements on an invention originally created by Whites.

How many contributions did the Black race make BEFORE they began attending modern schools, just after slavery ended? NONE.

When they were still in Africa? NONE.

I'm not saying Whites created EVERYTHING. But we did create MOST everything.

Dan 88!
