No Habla
Let's play "Spot the Non-Sequiter," shall we? The following phrase can be found in this article about Mexican children attending American schools in Arizona:
If that "logic" made your head hurt, this will clear it up:
I'll give you one guess where that $425,000 is going at the moment. (Hint: Mz. Arzoumanian's pockets are bulging...)
But Linda L. Arzoumanian, superintendent for Pima County, said the county already has proof of legal residency for the students on file. Physically verifying their addresses raises legal questions, she said, citing a 1980 state attorney general's opinion that prohibits applying residency requirements in a way that results in "discrimination based on race or national origin."
If that "logic" made your head hurt, this will clear it up:
[Arizona State Superintendent of Schools] Horne said possible action includes withholding state funding for students whose residency is in question, which means the Ajo district could lose more than $425,000.

A: "According to Ajo School District records, 85 students board the bus each day in Lukeville. But the border town has little more than a strip mall, gas station, motel, RV park and general store and a population of 65.
U.S. immigration officials said most of the students who cross the border each day for school were born in the United States and have citizenship even though their parents live in Mexico. Still, state law requires that they live in the United States to attend U.S. schools."
B: "He said children who are U.S. citizens and their parents are being "profiled" because they live in border towns and called for the federal government to intervene."
What does B not understand about A?
hmmm.... Lets see, the parents and the children live in border towns on the wrong side of the border. It is not the 51st state, it's another country.
"I would have to do it for all 135,000 students in Pima County,"
Mistreating someone based on their race or nationality is bad. Narrowing your search criteria with it is not. It's only descrimination if you find they are legal and kick them out anyway based on race or nationality. I keep seeing all this crap about profiling. Profiling is simply part of a search criteria based on known facts. When police have a description of a suspect they go after anyone that fits that "profile". There is no difference. And make no mistake, this is a crime against American tax payers.
If the parents want their children educated here they need to enter the country legaly get real jobs here and pay taxes like everyone else.
Later,
