Something I have though of over the past few days, let's say that local sanctuary cities including DC, decided that they would in fact comply with federal laws and stop being sanctuary cities.

And then let's say that the effect was a very small migration of ESL/FARMS students out of the area, let's say 2%, but that 2% migration meant that some schools in the area had enough drop in their ESL/FARMS rate to reduce the overall rate at their child's school and the impact of that drop was better for their child's education.

I wonder then how much outrage would still be outpouring from liberals in the area. I personally believe that while people still object, they would like object more quietly and less often.

Hmm... no.
The impact of illegal immigration is not significant in area schools.
The impact of legal, American, migration from neighborhoods with imperfect schools to neighborhoods with great schools is highly significant.

No, I think the poor areas in the DC metro will remain poor no matter how many immigrants leave, until those areas are redeveloped for wealthy people. There are always poor areas/FARMS schools and even in the "sanctuary" areas in the DC metro the schools currently dominated by FARMS will continue to be even if many of the illegals left, because poor people have to live somewhere. Many people here who speak English are DC "poor." I am a (barely) middle class federal employee who has to live somewhere, so I have to live "poor adjacent" in this area.

If you have a family of 4, and you move to the DC metro to take an entry level Federal job at the GS7, step one, your kids will qualify for FARMs/free lunch until your spouse gets a job.

I read an article in the LA Times that a lot of the police offers in LA are not going to detain an illegal unless there is other cause, and unless their higher ups tell them to (and right now the polic chief isn't going to). In that particular LA police dept, a high % of them are children of recent immigrants or immigrants themselves. They also feel that this order will just push illegals underground and will hinder them from doing their job.

What??? Are you from the DC area? Yes, it is a significant issue. Citizen children have illegal parents - very common issue in this area.

I wonder how Trump's executive order will affect the FCPS budget? They are having hearings now to decide which programs to fund/slash. If the county doesn't get federal funds for Title I, etc. the school system will be in a world of hurt.

Not if all the ESOL services stop when all the illegals leave.

On the larger point go to any kitchen at any restaurant in DC you will find illegals. Going out might cost an extra buck if they all left
