I do not agree with how hard you, “Joe Messina” or anyone else works to provide anything , for anyone who comes to the United States on anything, visa, no visa, vacation and decides to stay and begin to work, and seek health care, and education. We have enough poor, homeless, uneducated, deprived, and denied of what’s legally and
rightfully theirs. Since you’re in such a great position with the school district to “work so hard”, (or ask a few favors from some of your school district buddies) and help these individuals receive the proper education at which you think they deserve. Maybe open your eyes and look around at what’s happening to our own legal, native citizens of this country, and start with that issue first. Or is it going to be another song and dance about how those kids don’t belong in a public school because of their upbringing, or backgrounds, or the neighborhoods they live in, etc. there are ways to handle everything, so why are you willing to start with “visa or not” they are still illegals in my country, instead of our own? Is it to much work for you Mr. Messina?
Hi Joe,
Thanks for your service to the community. I enjoy your ed/op pieces.
California is a state that rewards illegal immigrants for violating federal law and punishes citizens for exercising federal rights (to wit, Second Amendment rights).
I practiced immigration law some time ago and, from time to time, still deal with immigration appellate matters. Yes, it is better to be illegal. The LA Times ran a piece yesterday about the extraordinary protections and “rights” that illegal aliens are afforded and the de facto “California citizenship” that results.
It sounds like these kids were issued the wrong visa. There is a plethora of visas available for dependents of temporary workers. So, for example, if this is an H-1B worker with dependents, the kids should have been granted an H-4 visa, not a B-2 visa. A B-2 visa expressly prohibits the enrollment into public education other than the enrollment into a limited English study program so as to effect the purpose of tourism.
This is one of the reasons I quit doing immigration law as a regular matter. You ask 10 immigration officials and you get 12 different answers.
Best of luck. Your heart is in the right place.
Best –
Tony
How many more individuals from other countries are we going to allow to enter our country and begin work, school, receiving health care, education, and so on? Because the more it happens, the more our own people stay homeless, become homeless, struck with illness, death from lack of healthcare, uneducated non productive members of society? Business owners higher illegals all the time for cheaper labor rates, while our fellow American brothers and sisters go hungry, homeless, and in need of medical attention, so they get to go to the free health clinics and get butchered up, while good old Ofelia Menendez Gonzalez is receiving top notch care for herself and her unborn baby, and she’s a total 100% illegal immigrant who doesn’t speak a word of English, but is raping my peoples benefits. And yes that says raping, not reaping. Let me tell you something, until our own American population is taken care of, I could give a rats ass about some illegal and her children. They knew they had it rough when she was impregnated, but proceeded to do so anyways, knowing that they would come here and get treated like royalty. Close the boarders, and all you pro immigrants deserve a better life people, trade them places then, let them here, and you go live where they did if it’s so unfair. Get a clue America, we are loosing, and are children are loosing a battle they haven’t even encountered yet from the idiotic mentality of people like Joe and Anthony who wrote above.
Our society is great, the people who do it right get penalized and the people in the wrong get the rewards.
Shouldn’t the parents have requested student visas? Or what obstacles kept them from coming here with a student visa instead? Had the school accepted them as “tourist visa” holders then they’d also be “illegal.” Is there an immigration or education attorney who can help them make this happen for them?
I usually don’t respond… Some of you totally missed my point. No Im NOT for illegal immigration/rights. HOWEVER I am for everyone being treated or given equal treatment. If we are allowing “Illegals” to go to school here on the premise that every child deserves and education. Then those that are here by doing it or trying to do it the right way should be allowed to be educated as well. I do not know whether they were given the wrong info as to what visa to apply for or not. Just that its wrong to reward illegal behavior and punish those who try to do the right thing…
I understood your article and thought it was pretty clear. I feel bad for these children too, as they are just victims of circumstance. I hope that someone can assist them in this matter.
No matter what’s the reson, Illegally to US. No excuse.
Hello,
I graduated from a Christian College, tried to stayed
In the US, but there was NO single way, was
obliged to leave my family in the US! Friends
that went into the illegally are American
citizens now through lying and so on! America
has been known for making the illegal
something legal! I want to go back now with
higher education from California and I am
not able to do so! It is a backwards country!
God bless America though:)
