Students from several area high schools walked out of class and walked to Arizona's State Capitol Friday morning.
The students are protesting SB 1611, which makes numerous changes to immigration law.
"This state legislature continues to introduce divisive legislation and now our students are scared, threatened and are taking desperate actions by walking out of class to march to the State Capitol," said Sen. Steve Gallardo. "SB1611 is unconstitutional and is nothing, but politicking."
SB1611 was passed by the Senate Appropriations Committee on February 23 and hasn't been heard by the full Senate.
"The Republican majority is wasting the voters' time with out-of-touch legislation that is not the priority of Arizonans who want quality education, work and health care for their families," said Gallardo. "This legislation does nothing, but scare our children and put them in dangerous situations."

keep walking......south
they need to walk their asses back across the border
If their parents were here legally, they wouldn't have anything to worry about.
“The Republican majority is wasting the voters’ time with out-of-touch legislation that is not the priority of Arizonans who want quality education, work and health care for their families,”
Seems like that puta pindejo can’t figure out why those Arizonans voted in a Republican majority.
A bunch of illegal aliens or sympathizers and they want the government to focus on tax funded handouts. I don't care if they are kids or not, their behavior warrants deportation if they are illegal.
They aren’t “our children” if they’re illegals.
You hit it on the head.
Illegals are certain Democratic voters when they hit 18, the Liberals know that and can see Demographic trends.
Yes and they should not be lumping all students into one. Money used on illegals is money that cannot be used for legal citizens/students.
No reason for US citizens and legal residents to be “scared” and walk out of class.
Be legal, or be gone!
Tell me how exactly how his would scare any children of citizens? I'm really curious...Oh I guess you meant children of illegals...!
Those “students” have nothing to fear... so long as they’ve done nothing wrong... like BE HERE ILLEGALLY!!!!
Well that tears it, we've lost the high schoolers. Pull the legislation, draft an apology & schedule a news conference.
Did the schools report or discipline the students for being truant/absent from class? Are the teachers and school administrators complicit and encouraging/manipulating the students to do this?
Mexico has wonderful schools that will educate Mexicans.
Arizona... wake up.... you children are being turned into the shock troops at the biding of the Teacher’s Union.
The students who walked out of class without an
excuse should be required to demonstrate their
legal presence in the country before being
readmitted to the classroom. A guilty conscience
needs no accuser.
Expel every one of them.
Cancel any scholarships.
they missed spelled decisive
