[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the OP and others who are upset, what would you have preferred him to have said?

[b]That he intended to break federal law and ban undocumented children, or the children of undocumented parents?[/b]

That's obviously what folks want, but he can't say that because he can't do that. [/quote]
+1  Didn't they try that in AL or somewhere?  Courts struck them down.

If you want the county to follow federal law and report illegal immigrants that they arrest to ICE, then they should also follow the federal law that states that public schools must educate a child regardless of immigration status. Yes, that is the law.  You don't get to pick and choose which federal laws you follow. And for the record, no, I don't think [b]MoCo should be a sanctuary county[/b]. They should report illegal immigrants who are arrested to ICE.

However, I would argue that an 18 yr old is not a child, so we shouldn't be having 18 to 21 yr olds in HS, regardless of immigration status.  If they turn 18 while in HS, fine; they should be able to finish it.  But, since the law only states that the we need to educate a "child", then why do we need to allow 21 yr olds in HS? [/quote]

It's not, and it doesn't intend to be.

Which law are you citing, that says that we need to educate a "child"?[/quote]
