Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos set off a furor over comments she made to members of Congress suggesting that schools should decide whether or not to report undocumented students and their families to federal immigration authorities.
"I think that is that is a school decision," DeVos said during her testimony before the House Education and Workforce Committee after Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., pressed her on the issue of undocumented students. "It's a local community decision and again I refer to the fact that we have laws and we also are compassionate and I urge this body to do its job and address and clarify where there is confusion around this."
Espaillat immediately rebuked the secretary's statement, stressing that immigration policies are defined and executed by the federal government, not by communities.
"Let me just remind Madam Chair that immigration law is federal law," he said. "It's not a local law. It's not governed by a municipality."
"You cannot have immigration law for one state be different for another state and it applies to everybody across the country," he added.

There is nobody in our southern Arizona high school district that doesn’t know multiple people list PO boxes in San Luis AZ as their residence. It is in your face fraud on both sides of the equation.
“Where do they get all that money?”
We had a “family” renting in our neighborhood.
Three families renting a rambler to save on rent.
Probably working under the table so no taxes.
No reported “income” so getting welfare, free school lunches, etc.
They still had enough money to park two Escalades and two new Chevy pickups and a couple of other cars on the driveway and lawn. And probably sent a bunch back home to Mexico. (Money from relatives in the USA is Mexico’s second largest source of “income” next to oil/gas iirc).
In New York City it is $24,000 per student.
Failure to report is conspiracy and obstruction of justice. There is no doubt about that. Is that criminal behavior what we want to teach children?
“Three families renting a rambler to save on rent.”
I don’t know what a “rambler” is in this context.
“No reported income so getting welfare, free school lunches, etc.”
I guess nobody’s checking for fraud.
“They still had enough money to park two Escalades and two new Chevy pickups and a couple of other cars on the driveway and lawn.”
Where do they get financing? Or do they have $60k to plonk down?
Illegal aliens should not be allowed in our schools.
Rambler as in one floor, no basement and small. Three bedrooms, 900 square feet.
On the other hand, 200 feet away is another Hispanic neighbor. Own their home, decent average cars, and they are ALWAYS out there making improvements to the yard. I got to say, all of the Hispanics that I’ve worked with (and here legally) - they ARE hard workers.
Too funny - I guess this person has problems with sanctuary cities/states.......oh, wait...
“I got to say, all of the Hispanics that Ive worked with (and here legally) - they ARE hard workers.”
If they are here legally, then they are not culpable for the role they play in the destruction of our culture. Do with that what you will.
