It really is mindblowing, isn't it? Even if our economy were going well who in their right mind would think that we should support illegal aliens in any way including educating them in our schools? Our politicans have the power to change this travisty. What are they thinking?

Why not pay to educate the world with that logic?

I am in Miami and we have similar logic with the "Dry Feet" policy with respect to Cubans. You are allowed in once you touch U.S. soil but can be returned to Cuba if found at sea in transit to the USA.

"Wet foot, dry foot" is a policy that should have ended long ago. Another idiotic thing that our government continues to allow.

Look what it got us. Miami and much of Florida look like little Havana with most Cubans insisting on Spanish only.

That's the problem: they aren't thinking.

Feds: All kids, legal or not, entitled to K-12 ed - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110506/ap_on_re_us/us_immigration_students - broken link)

MIAMI – The U.S. Department of Education sent a letter to districts around the country Friday, reminding them that all students — legal or not — are entitled to a public education.

I would say the only part of K-12 an illegal is entitled to would be the yellow bus ride south.
