Also, know that schools receive federal funding for things such as school lunches. Are you in favor of verifying status to enroll?[/quote]

I'm an ESOL teacher so I teach children of immigrants, some of whom are undocumented. The vast majority of the children I teach in elementary school were born in the US however, so they are citizens.

As for the children who were not born here, but live here, I do not support refusing them entrance into public schools because they are undocumented. For the same reason, I do not support refusing to provide basic public health care, including vaccinations and treatment of communicable illnesses, to those undocumented.  It is primarily selfish. These children are here now and may or may not be staying. It does no one any good to have uneducated children running around and getting sick and spreading illnesses.

In fact I support when President Bush said about immigrants and public schools.

As an aside, as a teacher, I can tell you the students who are children of immigrants are much better behaved and more respectful than the native born kids born to US citizens.[/quote]
