[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m reading on the Arlington Education Matters Facebook page teachers are stressed and concerned about the election and impacts to teachers. They mention the elimination of DOE and concern with teachers already being short staffed and overworked. I also see Arlington parents complaining about amount of time it takes to get grades back and responsiveness of counselors who are supporting a large number of students.

Isn’t it a huge plus, the removal of illegals that the new administration is promising? This could significantly reduce the number of students and the numbers that need extra support. It seems to me this is a big upside to reduce crowding and stress on our teachers, school administrators and school infrastructure. [/quote]

Your delusional if you think Arlington doesn’t have a large illegal population [/quote]

Nobody wins if you break up families. I think it’s often the parents (one or both) that are “illegal”. And even if it includes the child, what an awful scenario. How can it be good for children to live with fear. There is no benefit for the student body or school community. It’s one thing to cut down on migration but there is no benefit whatsoever to deportation. [/quote]

I think you are right; I think a lot of families have mixes status.  I don't think the people who just want to control the immigration system through an enforcement mechanism quite understand what that entails.  Even for people who don't care about these families at all, do they really understand what a nightmare it is for the State to take responsibility for citizen children and then try to figure out where to rehome them?  (I cannot believe this is even in the conversation, but here we are).

We need real pathways to citizenship for people coming from these places that want to work.   The current system is a mess.[/quote]
