[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.  [/quote]

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.
