New York education officials are defending a hotly debated plan to allow illegal immigrants to be certified as public school teachers.
Saying the district doesn’t want to “close the door on their dreams,” state Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia explained those eligible for the teaching certification came to America as children.

The fact that people propose this seriously is absolutely pathetic
Home school ping.
It’s too late. The Overton window has already been moved with each of these types of moves by the Left.
Why bother with any background checks on these people?
We already know they are criminals.
How many illegals are really going to teach? It doesn’t seem very realistic.
Can we open doors to citizens’ dreams & let Vincente Fox take care of the rest?
Do they have to speak English?
Making the officials *personally* liable for any harm done by the illegals while in the employ of the municipality.
BTW, what do the teachers' unions think? Sounds like Union-busting to me...
Could they do worse?
What’s not realistic is a state allowing “illegal” immigrants being licensed to teach, it being one or one thousand.
I’m sure the Teachers Unions are against this. [/s]
“BTW, what do the teachers’ unions think? Sounds like Union-busting to me...”
The union will welcome all dues-paying, democrat-voting employees.
In modern America, there is nothing more important than a “Dream”—especially not piddly things like laws or standards. Having a dream gives you a right to just about anything.
I read they also want them to vote.

Anyone in politics who pushes this stuff should be removed immediately from office and tried for treason, seriously, this a direct attack on the sovereignty of this country and these people need to be held accountable.
“Do they have to speak English?”
In Mexifornia, many classes are taught in Spanish. The poor little white kids in the class have to learn Spanish, or else!
“Welcome to the United States.”
How special....an MIT Engineer can’t teach math in a high school but and ILLEGAL CAN!
Probably not many but I think they are talking about illegals that were brought here as kids and would be speaking English at a native level.
I hope they plan to compensate all those NY teachers who were required to complete extra course hours beyond their degrees, in order to be certified to teach.
