The NCLB is the worst thing to happen to education for any community impacted by Illegal Immigration. NCLB imposes strict sanctions on schools that do not continually increase their scores year after year to a finally acceptable level. On the face of it, it sounds just great. However, these communities have an influx of children from third-world countries that are not even fluent in their own language, much less English. The NCLB makes no allowance for dealing with this problem and this one issue makes meeting the goals set by NCLB impossible.

So if there was a way to mitigate for illegal immigrants (deportation, separate statistics, etc.) it is otherwise not so awful?
