Deportation impact

[Anonymous]

What is the likely impact of Trump deportations on Falls Church and Justice high schools?

There are literally no concrete details on the plan yet.

Test scores and school ratings will go up dramatically.

I teach at a title 1 school in another district with high numbers of Hispanic students. Last time Trump was elected we saw the mid year enrollment numbers drop way below typical (we will usually get new students all through the year, right up to the last week of school even) and a fair number of kids just disappeared from our rosters. Whether that’s deportation related or was just families moving and/or “withdrawing” from school to be less accessible by ICE, I’m not sure, but we are already anticipating similar effects once Trump is inaugurated in January.

Low impact. Trump just said those things to pander to the white supremacist supporters. He’s only wants to build more money for himself and that’s how he’s going to preside. Get richer by any means necessary.

He’ll just put video of some deportations that would have happened anyway on Fox News and declare victory. People get deported all the time.

All those brown white supremacists down around the Rio Grande that went for Trump, am I right?

The impact will be seen in other schools in fcps too. American kids will get more attention in the classroom. Test scores will increase and gangs will decrease.

Deportation is going to have little effect. Fear of deportation is already having its intended effect.

I teach in a Title 1 school with many Hispanic students. If their parents are deported, many will return. There are zero opportunities for them in their own countries and/or they are scared for their lives.

I think Trump will deport the criminals who are here illegally but that will be it. Our economy would suffer big time without immigrants to do the jobs Americans won’t touch.

If they return to the same place, doesn't it make it easier to find them and deport them again?

The more concrete solution is overturning plyler v doe so that schools are not overburdened.

Nobody said they would return to the same place. My students move frequently anyway.
