    Illegal educators for hire?

    Illegal educators for hire?
    Hurdle in using these bilingual teachers: U.S. law prohibits it



    11:56 AM CST on Tuesday, February 7, 2006
    By TAWNELL D. HOBBS / The Dallas Morning News


    Dallas' school district has a shortage of bilingual teachers.

    DISD trustee Joe May knows where he can find a lot of people who speak Spanish fluently and are already in the country. And he'd like to put them to work.

    But there's at least one big hurdle: The school district cannot knowingly hire illegal immigrants because it's against federal law.

    Mr. May wants to amend that so the district can hire illegal immigrants who are college-educated and can qualify for the district's emergency teaching certification program. The issue will be discussed at the school board's policy briefing today.

    Mr. May believes that amending the law would help alleviate a shortage of bilingual teachers. DISD hopes to fill more than 400 bilingual teaching positions next school year.

    "We're paying for DISD people to go over" to other countries to recruit bilingual teachers, Mr. May said. "It makes sense if we set up shop over here. We can build an employment base in our own market."

    Some Dallas Independent School District trustees said they look forward to discussing the issue while others are treading cautiously. The district's attorneys will also participate in the discussion at today's meeting.

    "I'm open to listening to the legal points they might make," trustee Hollis Brashear said. "But I don't know if we can discuss something that involves not complying with U.S. law."

    ...

    ...

    Federal officials responded Monday to questions about Mr. May's proposal by reciting the current law.

    "It's illegal to knowingly hire or continue to employ illegal aliens," said Carl Rusnok, regional communications director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "Unless you're in this country legally, it's illegal for you to work." Under federal law, employers who knowingly hire unauthorized workers face criminal prosecution and substantial fines.



    Lonewacko points out that in Joe May's bio for the board that he is the former two term President of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), a proponent of illegal aliens. So this is not a simple "needs" issue it is a political decision under the guise of a "needs" issue.



    Joe May was elected to the Board of Trustees in August 2002, and serves on the Board’s Policy and Education Committees. He was elected as second vice-president in May 2004.

    ...

    Mr. May’s history of community service in the Dallas community includes two terms as president of the League of United Latin American Citizens



    Sometimes things aren't always what they seem. This Joe May has his hands in other areas including zoning and the Small Business Association. I wonder how many of these places he has also pushed through proposals on getting more illegal aliens into the country and hired?

    This is what we face in this country. People benefiting by pushing through items that break our laws and destroy opportunities for American workers.

    Come on, this is Dallas, TX. Hard to believe they can't find citizens that are bilingual to teach. Maybe the pay is low???

    Thank you badger

    Badger, you said it.....


    Why do they need bilinguagl teachers? Don't they need English teachers?

    And why should we be catering to Spanish speakers anyway? We should give the best to our citizens and deport all others.

    Paul Harvey said they were going to hire 40 of them and give them 3-year work visas.
