Nevada Considering Giving DREAMers Teaching Licenses Amid Teacher Shortage
Immigration Reforms New 2015: Nevada Considering Giving DREAMers Teaching Licenses Amid Teacher Shortage

Nevada teaching licenses may soon be available to immigrants who entered the United States illegally as children.

The Associated Press reported legislators are considering changes to a law that currently lets the state superintendent award such licenses only to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Immigrants who hold a work permit but do not fall into those categories are only eligible if there is a shortage of instructors for the subject they want to teach.
AB27, which is pending before the Silver State's Legislature, however, would allow DREAMers -- the beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program -- to get a teaching license if a district has a teacher shortage of any kind.
The Nevada bill, which stems from an initiative by the Department of Education in Reno, on Monday received a hearing before the state Assembly's education committee.
Allowing DREAMers to fill openings at school across the Silver State only makes sense, argued Assemblywoman Olivia Diaz, a Las Vegas Democrat.
"These are individuals that were basically raised and educated through our public education system and have paid for their college, and they're not able to fulfill that dream of becoming a teacher," Diaz said.
Proponents also point to the need for additional teachers across the state. The Clark County School District in the south, for example, currently has about 600 openings. The district, which serves Nevada's most populous country surrounding Las Vegas, seeks to hire some 2,600 teachers by next school year to ease overcrowding.
At Monday's hearing, most school and business organizations who testified spoke in favor of changing the law.
John Wagner, of the Independent American Party, however, wondered if individuals covered by executive immigration orders would also qualify.
"Would that be someone who was, say, blanketed in by President Obama's amnesty thing?" he said. "I would not be in favor of that."
The committee's legal counsel promised Wagner it would look into the details.
DACA was implemented in June 2013 to allow certain undocumented immigrants who entered the United States before their 16th birthday to be exempt from deportation and receive a two-year work permit. President Barack Obama announced in November 2014 that his administration planned to expand the program and widen eligibility requirements.

Oh hell no! There is no way we should allow any prior illegal alien any proximity to American children where they will teach their socialist and communist open borders philosophies to our children!

There's no way any job of any kind for any reason should be handed out to illegal aliens, I don't care where they were raised or where they went to school or whether or not they "paid for their college", which I seriously doubt. But in any event, if they went to college they took valuable seats away from American Kids which is probably why there's a "teacher shortage", along with the fact that the primary reason there's a teacher shortage is because there are so many illegal aliens in our public school system.
So, deport the illegal aliens, let American Kids take the seats in college they deserve, eliminate illegal alien attendance in public schools, and you've solved 3 big problems in America, illegal aliens are gone, more American Kids can go to college, and our public schools can return to normal attendance and cost levels.
Geez. Wake Up Nevada! You're triple-dipping in education issues all caused by illegal aliens.
