I never understood how they were allowed in to begin with. Somehow illegals are allowed to skip the required documentation requirements (ss#, birth certificate. Etc.) or are provided alternate means?

Apparently this is how/why:
Quote:
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Plyler vs. Doe (457 U.S. 202 (1982)) that undocumented children and young adults have the same right to attend public primary and secondary schools as do U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Like other children, undocumented students are obliged under state law to attend school until they reach a mandated age.
As a result of the Plyler ruling, public schools may not:
Deny admission to a student during initial enrollment or at any other time on the basis of undocumented status.
Treat a student differently to determine residency.
Engage in any practices to "chill" the right of access to school.
Require students or parents to disclose or document their immigration status.
Make inquiries of students or parents that may expose their undocumented status.
Require social security numbers from all students, as this may expose undocumented status.
Students without social security numbers should be assigned a number generated by the school. Adults without social security numbers who are applying for a free lunch and/or breakfast program on behalf of a student need only indicate on the application that they do not have a social security number.
Changes in the F-1 (Student) Visa Program do not alter the Plyler obligations to undocumented children.
These changes apply only to students who apply for a student visa from outside the U.S.
Finally, school personnel -- especially building principals and those involved with student intake activities -- should be aware that they have no legal obligation to enforce U.S. immigration laws. (U.S. Supreme Court, 1982)
How many illegals are in the state of Hawaii. I would have to assume they are all folks who visas have expired. I also wonder how would this teacher know if one of his students is a illegal. I started out as a teacher and taught many illegals over the years. The law required I do so and suspect Hawaii has the same law. It would be interesting to see if that teacher would walk away from his/her job behind this.
Denying a child a chance at an education is wrong. Period.
Making the decision to do so on the basis of having had the misfortune of having been born to illegal immigrants makes you no better than the Taliban, who based the decision on the child's misfortune of having been born a girl. Both are absolutely shameful.
