What ID do the Illegals show? A Mexican DL? What is considered a legal ID?

This is totally ridiculous! When my son was in elementary school, at the beginning of each school year I had to complete a form listing the names, addresses, and phone numbers of every person authorized to pick him up from school. If their name was not on the list, and they could not produce the required ID, they could not remove him from the premises. How hard is that?

It said for now parents at Maple Lawn Elementary will have to take extra steps to ensure they leave with the right child. It also said it doesn't want to over-react and make it too challenging for parents to pick up their kids.

OMG!!! The fool didn't even know it WASN'T HIS OWN KID???????

It probably wasn't - he was just picking up the kid for "a friend"

Here's a better link

at the end it says the guy was kept for an "unrelated misdeameanour" - doesn't say anything about a deportation hold.

Immigration hold was mentioned on Fox4 TV news last night but of course hard to chase down in print as most won't report it..try the end of this:

okay, but the main story isn't really an illegal immigration issue...........might be better in another forum

(wth is a "valid operator licence"?)

If the school is mostly composed of illegals (and I'd say there are a high percentage as a friend of mine was a nurse there) it raises the question about what kind of IDs are acceptable? Is it racist to ask for IDs in this case as claimed with the Arizona Police?

I'm sure many would cry & complain that it is.
