Thread: Promises of riches, leniency lure teens into smuggling drugs across border. Then real

The kids most often being recruited for such work are frequent border crossers — typically Mexican citizens with border crossing cards who attend school in the U.S., often in districts near the border.

Why are Mexican teenagers allowed to attend schools in the US?

Yes! Closing the border to them would protect them from this type of exploitation! Build the wall!

Apparently building the Wall would not help this problem. It appears they are using their SENTRI to waltz through every day, attend school and go back to Mexico every night.

Learn something new every day, and the more we learn, the worse it gets.

What law allows that? and who passed it?

These are anchor babies. Children born to illegal aliens. They have a U.S. Passport and U.S. birth certificate. Some deported illegal alien families with U.S. born children remain near the border so they can take advantage of their child's right to an American education. This is just one of the many problems with birthright citizenship.

What happened to a child going to school in the district they lived in. Back in the day, we could not even send our children out of the school district, much less to a different county, state, or country? Has that changed?

Why would a deported illegal alien be issued a SENTRI card?

Huh?? I didn't say anything about that.

I said these children are U.S. born citizens with passports and U.S. birth certificates. I didn't say anything about deported illegal aliens being issued SENTRI cards. There are actually buses provided to transport these American citizen children from the port of entry to their schools. The previously deported parents bring the children to the port of entry. The parents do not cross the border. After the officer at the port of entry checks the child's plastic covered birth certificate they are allowed to proceed to their school bus.

These are not US citizens. They're Mexican citizens. These people shouldn't be in US schools. Even for the anchor babies, they aren't entitled to attend US schools if they live in Mexico.
