The Immigrant Family Reunification Program (IFRP) is an effort by Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) to identify immigrant students going through family reunification, and to invite their parents to participate in parenting education classes and take advantage of free resources such as Families Reunite (also in Spanish), a 6-hour curriculum for parents reunifying with their children. IFRP also offers a professional development workshop Immigrant Family Reunification:  Promoting Student Academic Engagement and resources for schools.

One-fifth of the nation's children are growing up in immigrant homes. The 2010 Census data reveals that 13% of the U.S. population is foreign born, a 20% increase since 2000. At the end of 2014, the Department of Homeland Security estimated that more than 90,000 unaccompanied minors could enter the US. As of June 2014, nearly 6,000 of those children arrived in Fairfax County.

This is nothing new.  We are an immigrant nation.  Plus, it is not new for descendants of former immigrants to be against the current immigrant populations.  [/quote]

When my family immigrated here in the mid 1800s, public education was not nearly as bloated with all the stuff that adds to expenses today. My forefathers and mothers had a very simple education, and I'm not even sure how many years of schooling they had. It is not even a comparable situation. [/quote]
