[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post has me wondering - how do people who come here illegally send their kids to school? Or kids who stay with relatives but came here illegally. Does the family just say it's their own kid then? [/quote] Well, first of all a lot of folks who are described as "illegal" by certain talking heads are actually "legal" in the sense that they have registered as asylum seekers. Also, there are many mixed status families, in which US-born kids are American citizens but their parents are either undocumented or never saw the asylum process through. But, for those kids who are neither US-born nor registered as asylum seekers/refugees, MCPS has a responsibility to educate them per federal law. With that said, other PPs are right that OP will likely not want to take that path because her nephew may want to re-enter the US later. [/quote]
