Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

This title is made to stir up anger from the Left. The issue is about how much, and what limits, do states have towards educating ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. The title of "Immigrant" students makes it sound like these kids are natural born citizens who are in jeopardy of not getting educated. If you read the article, it talks about all the different issues with continuing to educate illegals...But that's the Left for you, twisting "immigrants" and "illegal immigrants" together to make it sound like it's the same thing.
Illegal immigrant children deserve an education.
Period.
Having an uneducated illegal immigrant child presence in the country who are not in school during school hours will harm the children, harm the parents, harm the community, and harm their future if and when they do naturalize legally, setting them back literal decades and completely ruining their future chances.
I stress again, these are literal children, who are innocent in all this. They don't choose where they get to live. They don't get a material say in this, and blaming and harming them for their parents choices is cruel and hateful.
But that's also the right, just in the opposite direction. When the right says illegals they mean any immigrants, including those here legally. When the left says immigrants you have to read into it to see if they are talking about legal, illegal, or both.
It's all a game to stir people up for clicks and outrage.
That's not true at all... from Day 1, the Left has morphed "immigrants" and "illegal immigrants" into one, to make it sound like Republicans hate immigrants, which is far from the truth... when WE say illegals, we mean ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS... when the Left (democrats) talk about immigration, they want to treat illegals the same as legals... which is fucking stupid.
I guess you ought to go tell that to the people jeering at Vance's wife at the GOP convention.
Fear not, we won't need to debate this once free education is robbed from natural born citizens through the dissolution of public schools like the right truly desires. Before too long the functional lower class will be resigned to the same loathsome state that you and people like you ascribe to these so called "illegals"
Oh brother...
I'm assuming you disagree with the poster. However, vouchers for charter schools is a step in that direction because it's taking money away from public schools and many Republicans are looking to expand such programs.
It should be trivial to immigrate (legally)
Going on about how they're illegal while also making it really hard to immigrate legally is bullshit.
