Immigrant Children and Schooling

For John, BLUF:  Where is the transparency?  Nothing to see here; just move along.

From The Hill is a report that on Monday the Federal Department of Education sent a message to the States and local School Districts.  The article says, in part,

It says all children in the United States “are entitled to equal access to a public elementary and secondary education, regardless of their or their parents’ actual or perceived national origin, citizenship, or immigration status.”

The article tells us sponsors have taken large numbers of children, including Texas at 5,280, New York at 4,244), California at 3,909 and Florida at 3,809.  Six other states, Virginia, North Carolina, New Jersey, Maryland, Louisiana and Georgia, each have 1,000 or more released illegal young immigrants.

The article implies that the Obama Administration is working hard to quickly deport these recent illegal immigrant children.  Maybe.

Hat tip to the Instapundit.
