The poster was not vacuously attacking a matter of fact. This is what the poster was objecting to:
Quote:
I oppose the Democratic perspective on immigration, but this thread is just lousy with pent-up rationalization for patently offensive vengeful spite aimed at children. If you don't like how many children of illegal aliens are being born in this country, tough. Get over it. Fix the immigration problem itself, compromising with the other side to get it done instead of working against the other side so nothing gets done, and then and only then that which you are concerned about will subside.
Again, there are no questions of fact, as you are using the term, in dispute. We are discussing a matter of right and wrong.

No - you're the one who isn't "debating" with your comment here. Stop engaging in meta-discussion.

You seem to be confused. I'm the poster saying that society should not placate your intention to elevate what's good for yourself and your children over what's good for everyone else and society overall.

??? How does one 'show' residence? There are no utilities in my name, and I have not had a written rental agreement here for over four years.

No. More like you're psycho and don't know what you're talking about. Buh-bye.

Yes, it is true. Students who claim to be homeless do not have to provide proof of residency within school boundaries.

Just claim that you have no birth certificate, you're homeless, you're an immigrant, and you can register in any school you wish.

Precisely. That's an extremely easy requirement to get around as anyone who claims to be homeless or states that they have no documentation of their residence, such as yourself, is not required to produce any.

Students can also just claim they're living with a friend/relative but there is no documentation of that fact because nothing is in their name and they pay no utilities. Voilà.... no proof of residency required, as the federal government will also not let schools discriminate against the homeless or children in an undocumented living situation.

We do it all the time in my district. Utility bill, telephone bill, lease, etc. are proof of residence.

This is the requirement of the Great Neck School District:

I don't see anything about homeless.

No utility bills in parent's name. No lease in parent's name. Now what?
