SPRINGFIELD, Tenn. - The Robertson County school district faces some problems Friday morning after a recent crackdown on illegal immigration. The illegal immigration crackdown led to the vanishing of 11 percent of Hispanic students.

The district has been under state watch for failing to educate pockets of students, which includes non-English speakers.

Now of the 768 Hispanic students, 60 have formally withdrawn and another 25 to 30 can't be accounted for.

Public schools are required by a U.S Supreme Court decision to educate all students - regardless of their immigration status.

If the missing students don't return soon, they will be too far behind to succeed on upcoming achievement tests.

That alone would be a FAIR tax rebate - not funding ILLEGALS.

See you don’t have to ROUND THEM UP - they’ll leave on their own when there is an EMPLOYER CRACK DOWN!

LOL!

Imagine the TAX REBATE we could get back if all these ILLEGALS that don’t pay taxes took their kids home with them to MEXICO?

Geesh!

Isn’t it amazing how when we ENFORCE our LAWS on the books TODAY, that ILLEGALS GO HOME!

NO, Nazi type house invasions are needed!

No “immigration reform” is needed!

Enforce the LAWS on the books NOW!

“Hispanic Students Missing From Schools”

Seems to be a very poorly written “news” story. Usually when children are missing there are investigations, searches, appeals for help to find them, etc. This “story” proposes a mystery, “where are the children” but leaves everybody hanging. Apparently, they don’t care about “missing children.”

Of course the schools don’t care about “missing children”. They care about “losing dollars”.

Well, teachers will soon stop whining about over-crowded classrooms, as well as inability to teach due to language barriers.
