The White House administration, via a U.S.
Department of Education policy document, has sounded an enrollment call to
schools across the nation, pressing them to get as many illegals declared
official students as possible and reminding them, in no uncertain terms,
it’s the law.
In its “Resource Guide:
Supporting Undocumented Youth,” the feds call on “educators, school and
campuses [to] … draw upon the tips and examples in this guide to better
support undocumented youth and, ultimately, move us closer to the promise of
college and career readiness for all,” EAG
News reported.
The guide also makes clear federal law requires
the education of all students, no matter their immigration status. And it
provides this tip to educators: Illegals actually worry about their immigration
status so much it affects their academic performance. The not-so-subtle
message? Help them succeed, EAG News reported.
As the news site wrote, in a summary statement
about the guide’s intent: “All immigrant students, and their family members,
are constantly concerned with being deported, and do not have access to
federal financial aid, making college unaffordable.”
The guide then explicitly states its goal is to
help “educators, counselors and others support student academic and social
success, and to work collaboratively with youth and their families to find
creative ways to finance college costs,” the news site found.
The students to which the guide refers are part
of Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Amnesty program, which grants the
rights for certain illegals to stay in America and pursue education goals.
In the guide, schools are advised to help recruit such students.
“Besides providing high-quality instruction and
supports, another important way that schools, colleges, and education
professionals can help undocumented youth is by sharing information about DACA
with youth and their families,” the document reads, EAG News reported.
“Providing this information at the early childhood and elementary school levels
may be helpful because, though the children would not meet DACA’s threshold age
guideline, their parents or family members might meet the guidelines.
Educators, counselors, school social workers, and others may, as appropriate,
draw upon the tips and examples in this Guide to provide information about
the DACA policy in order to help support undocumented youth.”
The federal guide then gives specific examples
of how schools can help illegals, and examples on how illegals might obtain financial
aid and grants for higher education.
As the Daily Caller reported, the DACA program,
enacted by Obama’s executive order, has granted amnesty to 680,000 illegals
brought to the country by their parents. Another 1.5 million are reportedly
eligible for amnesty.
This isn’t the first
time school districts are being forced to meet federal demands for
unaccompanied minors, as
WND reported in 2014.
Thousands of unaccompanied alien children from
Central America showed up for classes, and some needed expensive interpreters
for obscure dialects.
“There are 21 dialects of Spanish, all so
different,” said Eloise Barron, assistant superintendent for teachers and
learning at Hall County Schools near Atlanta, Georgia.
And some of the Central American children arrive
from remote villages that speak only in Mayan, which is not one language but a
family of more than 20 ancient tribal tongues.
“Some speak Mayan, and so the problem we’re
having is we have about a third of our student population is Hispanic to begin
with and some of the individuals we have we’re unable to converse with because
they don’t know Spanish, and of course not English, so we’re having difficulty
communicating,” Barron said.
