illegal alien kids in Mexico coming to America every day for a free education

As we all know, our government is all about GIVING everything American taxpayers have to illegal aliens. If you are interested in stopping this, please re-read the story about kids who live in Mexico and travel to America for a free education - this trip is made daily.

What about our kids? What about OUR kid?

When will you take action? ________________ For the past two years, Rachel Ortiz's commute to her El Paso school has begun each morning in Mexico.

As the sun rises over that side of the Rio Grande, the first-grader follows her father from their cinder-block home through the streets of Ciudad Juarez.

Aaron Ortiz holds his 6-year-old's pink backpack and later her hand. At the border they funnel onto the pedestrian bridge alongside dozens of other children with backpacks holding parents' hands. Then they are on the other side, saying goodbye at the gates of Vilas Elementary, where breakfast is served free and special classes are offered for English-language learners.

At that school, Rachel has made friends with American students. She writes reports on butterflies and decides she wants to be a doctor — for dogs — when she grows up. And when the school bell rings at the end of the day, her father is waiting outside, ready to walk her back home to Mexico.

This daily cycle is repeated up and down the borderland, where a history of cross-border friendships, families and marriages has eroded the lines between what is Mexican and what is American. In El Paso, the Mexico-to-United-States trek to school is so commonplace that border officials opened a special lane just for students at one of the crossings this month. More than 1,200 passed through that lane from Mexico on a recent morning. Some are college or private school students, but many, including Rachel, attend public schools.

In El Paso, most folks see this as part of the flux inherent to border life. But there has been some grumbling about spending U.S. tax dollars to educate students living in Mexico, especially this spring as the city's biggest school district prepares for a bond election. The El Paso Independent School District, which expects to take in 10,000 new students in the next five to eight years, will ask voters next month for permission to borrow $230 million for new schools.

"With this always comes the argument, 'Stop educating illegal aliens,' " said El Paso ISD spokesman Luis Villalobos, who blames the growth on families moving to the area for the planned Fort Bliss expansion. U.S. ruling School districts from other border towns say they face similar complaints. But each contends that they have few ways to count or control the number of Mexican residents attending their schools. The Supreme Court ruled in 1982 that schools cannot deny an education to students living illegally in the United States. As long as a parent or guardian has proof of residency in that school district — a water bill or lease typically will suffice — their child can attend. And often in places such as El Paso — where hospitals are just a quick trip across the border — students were born in the United States and are legal citizens, even if their parents aren't.

"It's hard to split that; it's not a splitable thing," said Elaine Hampton, who studies education along the border. "Maybe they are living with their aunt in Juarez and grandmother is over here or their grandmother is in Juarez and aunt is over here. It's just a family living in two places sometimes at the same time."

Hampton, a U.S.-born professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, grew up on the border and taught sixth-grade science there. The strained state of public education in Mexico is what pushes many students across the Rio Grande, she said. Just as the hope of better jobs entices their parents.

This is most true in a place such as Ciudad Juarez. Known alternately as a city of hope, because of its proximity to the U.S, and as a city of death, because of its history of violence, the border town is being flooded with newcomers. Droves of inland Mexicans rush there each month seeking work in the maquiladoras, or manufacturing plants, that line the city's edge.

I've read articles about NYC teachers getting in trouble for registering their kids at the schools they work in. If they actually lived outside the district they had to pay for their kids attending the school. One in particular that I remember lived in NJ and taught at Brooklyn Tech. Had to pay nearly 20 grand for each year the child attended before getting caught.

It is becoming increasingly clear that their globalisation is in danger if they cannot complete Nafta. The civil war Mexico has named the drug war is endangering Nafta and obviously has Congress and the Progressives on offense with their multi million dollar promotion of Mitt Romney with FOX in tow. Romney will never beat Obama, he is Obama and they know it. One has to wonder If they are not deliberately trying to re-elect Obama.

Of course they are they can use him as the bad boy while the rest of the sleazebags do their little thing behind the scenes.....and out of the lime light....

They pulled the same crap in 08. Can anyone think of what might have been different about the illegal immigration problem had McStain won? A variation of Good Cop, Bad Cop. Pretend to be different while working towards the same goals.

Bingo!!!!

I'm glad that people "get" this. The POTUS is set up/propped up to be a "Savior" in the beginning, only to be turned into a demonized and ultimately hated man by the time they leave office. Nothing but figureheads and puppets are what our presidents are these days....

Of course! And have you heard that in the name of "diversity" the government now wants to apply "affirmative action" to colleges? Latinos, blacks and whites from poor areas will be put above everyone else! I feel only grades should matter, no matter what the race! This is totally unfair!!

Yep all part of AGENDA 21
