Should we take all kids of illegal immigrants out of our public schools?

Question

Only logical and rational answers please.

Answer 1

Why would we do that? It does not benefit anyone to have millions of uneducated children of illegal immigrants in this country. Lack of education begets poverty, which begets crime and other undesirable outcomes.

The only question really subject to debate is whether such families should be deported. But if they are here, educate them.

Answer 2

No! Why must innocent children suffer and also be deprived of education.

Answer 3

No, but we should  make their parents go through the process of becoming legal, so that they will at least contribute to the cost of that education.  Then we need to secure our borders to stop it from happening in the first place.

Answer 4

how about no .

did u knew than after the Iraq war the neighboring countries have been having to deal with a lot of Iraqi kids ???

well the do consider their duty to help those children Solly in the fact than they are suppose to do it because that's what Muslims suppose to do .

only two percent of the schools population are undocumented immigrants those who say they are causing overpopulated schools are wrong .

Their Education is good for all of us

There are clear advantages to the economy as a whole from promoting higher education for future workers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the higher a worker's education level, the more money they earn and the lower their unemployment rate. For example, in 2006 workers without a high school diploma earned on average $419; workers with a bachelor's degree earned $962; and those with a doctorate earned $1,441. The unemployment rates were 6.8% for those without a high school education; 2.3% for those with a bachelor's; and 1.4% for those with a doctorate.

Answer 5

if they weren't born in the US. get them out of our schools and out of the country

Answer 6

No, not unless we deport them immediately.

If we do that, there will just be hundreds of thousands of unwatched, unsupervised children/teenagers roaming around the streets, causing trouble, getting hurt, etc. Also since chances are they are not going to get deported anytime soon, we would just be adding to our already ridiculously large population of unschooled uneducated people.

Also- not all children of illegal immigrants are illegal immigrants themselves. It wouldn't be legal or the least bit sensible to prevent kids who are US citizens from attending public school.

In general I just don't think its a good idea to punish children for crimes that their parents committed.  

Answer 7

What is this obsession with illegal immigrants not paying taxes, you don't need to be a citizen to pay taxes, you just need a job.

Answer 8

No. The only way to make sure that they dont become forced to do what their parents are doing is to educate them. Teach them that there is more to life than avoiding the border patrols and picking tomatoes. These kids need to learn to change their lifestyle when they become adults. Filthy, jobless, criminal illegal immigrants some people call them. Well send them to college, and they'll have jobs, and not be forced to do crimes.

Answer 9

I don't want illegal immigrants in our country, but schooling is sacred.  Since they are here, we should educate them.   We don't want a bunch of stupid people running around our streets.   The thing is we must educate them at our standards.  I found that immigrants have force our education system to lower our standards.  If they fail our standards, we then kick them out.    If we deport them, hopefully they would bring back their education to help their owncounry so they would stop coming here.    

Answer 10

I want to say yes, but the only way their situation will ever improve is through schooling. It gets tricky when schools get overpopulated but it's probably worth it to have the legals (I hate to say this) have a little less and the illegals have at least something that helps.

Answer 11

illegal is illegal ,, they should not be in school  or anything else. We should not cater to the illegal immigrants they should be able to speak english . We are the only country that government offices , local , state and federal that you can speak english or spanish and its wrong. The only way we will stop illegal immigration is when we stop giving and giving to them .

Answer 12

No.  The first problem would be identifying those who are "citizens."   Next, keeping education from any kid who wants one anywhere is what I would call criminal.  It is not the right thing to do under any circumstances.

Answer 13

No, but the parents should not be here in the first place but since they are & nothing (or very little) is being done to stop illigals from coming to the US the Children should not have to pay the price for our governments ineptness to control the situation.

Answer 14

nope let em stay in school or are you afraid that they are gonna be smarter of u legal kids?

Answer 15

How would  creating an even larger ignorant population help anyone?

Answer 16

No. And "we" don't have the authority or power to decide those kinds of things and those that do will never embrace the ideology. We have all  past that Third Reich type of thinking.

Answer 17

yes. only becsause ppl are sick of paying for illegal immigrants. why should i pay?

Answer 18

Only if it can be determined that the children are indeed a part of an illegal immigrant family, in which case the entire family should be deported.  There is no means for the school to identify such children and no agency responsible for taking these children out of our public schools

Answer 19

something needs to be done. but I feel bad the children are the ones impacted.

Answer 20

yes. the entire family should be sent back to country of origin whether the children were born here or not. we need to do away with the anchor baby law and not allow children to be grandfathered.

Answer 21

Being born here makes them citizens, even if their parents are illegal.  So, no, that won't help.

Answer 22

yes! YES YES YES! Then crowd our schools and we might be able to have smaller classes for better learning.  

Answer 23

While I feel bad for the kids, yes.

We are having a hard enough time paying for schools for legal people.

They should think of their children and not even bring them here.

They could get deported and separated and then what?

Plus we have to have special classes to school them if they do not speak English.

Being born here makes them citizens is wrong and not correct!

Answer 24

All children of illegal aliens should be transferred to schools in their respective countries of origin (accompanied by the criminal invaders that caused them to be here in the first place).

Answer 25

Yes.  It would then bring class sizes down to what they should be.  We would be able to teach the legal citizen's children the way they are entitled instead of teaching special classes for those that do not belong here.

Our property taxes would be reduced.  Yes, this sounds like a wonderful plan.

Answer 26

Yes we should.  

Answer 27

That is a nazist statement

If you need money for the schools, tell bush to use the money for the schools, not for the war
