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.

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.

They shouldn't be in our schools if they don't live in the districts.

The solution is not to allow it at all.

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.

Most are not anchor babies.

Parents use addresses of friends and family in the U.S. to send there illegal alien children to be educated in
U.S. schools at taxpayer expense

That's a separate issue. I believe we're mostly talking about the ones who are actually living in Mexico and cross every morning to attend school in the Unite States. Their birth certificates are actually checked at the port of entry.

You have to have a US Passport to re-enter the US or go to Consulate or Embassy and get a paper. You can't cross the US border with a "birth certificate".
