There is a strong correlation between my Queens school district being overcrowded, and it having high inflows of illegal immigrants.
If the govt is actually interested in stopping this it would be pretty easy. Issue annual papers for each child reported as a NYC resident on their tax returns along with the school that they're assigned to. Any child without these papers would not be eligible for school. It may not solve the anchor baby issue, but it would definitely alleviate overcrowding due to both illegals and those that go to schools outside of their zone. Alternative if the local govt refuses to comply instead of the federal govt funding schools through the number of lunch forms received, fund them only via the number of these annual papers they get.

Only liberals focus on violence because as studies have shown, liberalism is a mental disorder. It's no different than their stance on guns: liberals and their low-class brethren cannot be trusted with firearms, so no one can have them!
Right - that's exactly what jumps to mind about the guy who lives in a trailer with twenty guns and a barbed wire leash on his underfed Doberman who shoots any one that rings his doorbell and thinks the Feds are out to get him - liberal. That just screams liberal.
Didn't know about the letter, but those policies are nothing new. And I don't expect the local govt to tackle the illegal alien problem. I mean personally I don't really care, I'd love for my landscaper to continue charging the rates he currently charges and don't want any contractor that I hire to charge exorbitant rants just to pay a so called living wage. People who want a "living wage" should go get some real skills or find a union job. If they start paying living wages I might actually have to climb up the roof myself the next time it needs repairs. For white collar workers illegal immigrants are a benefit net-net. Without them NYC would truly be expensive.

If I am going to be deported I want it to be to Paris, London, or Monte Carlo.
Hmmm, federal policing of New York City sounds more than a bit unconstitutional to me.
So off to District Court>>Appeals Court>>Supreme Court we go...AGAIN.
It sounds like ICE has been marginalized the past 8 years under Obama and now they are allowed to do their job. All for deporting criminals, much better than keeping them fed in our jails.
Nice!! Now get those raid and deportation numbers to at least double Obama's numbers.
I love reading "Trump conned his voters...", "disappointed yet?" and other such nonsense. He's keeping promise after promise and the left is melting down further and further.
Let's keep this ball rolling! Deport them all!
Clearly's he's kept promise after promise and moved much faster than any President I've ever seen. I disagree with him a lot, but I cannot accuse of him not not keeping his promises to his base. I think he's permanently shaken up us politics.
A lot of states with Republican majorities are already expanding school vouchers, and the feds will take this up soon enough. And Trump has his one trillion infrastructure plan. And he seriously has gone after illegal immigrants already. I don't mind him going after illegals, but I am against his executive order that prevented people who already had visas and greencards from entering the country as those people had already been vetted and approved by the government. Happy the courts blocked that.
As Trump is moving this fast, I have no doubt those deportation numbers will at least double Obama's.

ICE has been doing their jobs just fine without issue under Obama, except apparently most folks didn't care until ICE continued to do the exact same thing under Trump. Here's a raid that netted 58 six months ago in NYC: https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ic...cted-criminals Trump won't hit anywhere near the numbers he pledged continuing the current policies, however, so it will be interesting to see what actual changes he makes in the future.
