If I read the story correctly, the Hispanics are upset because, while they make up the majority of the district, they are mostly illegal, hence unable to vote. This makes it too difficult to vote in a Hispanic to the school board. Is that right?

The world has gone mad.

THE FACTS ARE THESE: every lawyer is an officer of the court, and should know that the US justice system is not amenable to dispensing justice to litigants w/ "unclean hands"---a legal term meaning those who have committed crimes.

Crimes most probably include (1) falsifying official documents, (2) giving false info to US authorities, (3) stealing SS nos, (4) faking multiple identities, (5) receiving govt monies under false pretenses, (6)falsifying tax returns to get EITC refunds, (7) money-laundering via remittanced to homelands, (8) colluding w/ criminal drug cartels to violate US borders...perhaps aiding and abetting by carrying drugs into the US.

Any lawyer or law firm that gives legal advice to an illegal (unindicted felon) should be reported to the state bar association for eventual disbarment.....and should have his/her license to practice law challenged.

Few of its residents are eligible to vote, they say, which leaves white voters in control of a school board that governs very few white children.....

Need...more...duct...tape...to wrap around my head to keep it from exploding.

First, local school boards are a joke, they have little if any control over what actually happens in their schools. This is the phony democracy we have in our country today, elections do not matter.

Second, the article inadvertently shows how illegal immigration is affecting our country. You have a district, where few people are eligible to vote. Where's the democratic oversight and control of government?

Third, maybe the people paying for the schools should get to elect the board members rather than people, who don't pay.
