School district warns parents of border patrol agents boarding buses for citizenship check
A Texas school district has sent a warning to parents that border patrol agents could be boarding school buses to check the citizenship status of students.
These tough guys border patrol agents must feel invisible against these harden criminals hiding in school buses.
If I see a border patrol officer, I'm treating them like absolute shit.
I once was a bit dismissive/rude to a friend of a cousin when I learned he had just moved to SoCal to work as border patrol. Initially, I thought it would be cool to make a new friend. I legit couldn't help it. Come to find out a couple years later that he quit because he couldn't handle the cruelty/racism. I somewhat regret not being a bit more friendly to him, especially considering he was one of the good ones (the ones that leave). If it were today, I'd maybe just be more clear in my reason for being rude. Communication and whatnot
I’ve seen it while with my wife (from Mexico) crossing into the US (I’m white, from the US).
In fact, they were going to turn her away from entering the US at a pedestrian crossing because the railing forced us to walk in single file and she was in front of me. It wasn’t until I spoke up and said “she’s my wife and a legal resident” that they even took her seriously.
On a lighter note, their broken in Spanish is hilarious after spending any length of time in Mexico.
I would too, though. To take a job like that in the first place shows you have a misplaced set of morals.
Save up addresses of people who still have their trump signs out and tell them you saw some Mexicans around there.
Kids don't even have papers to check. At most they have a school ID, which the school possibly gives to all students. Are they going to kidnap anyone who goes on a field trip without their birth certificate?
I wonder if they hand out shade cards or if they just hand out paper bags "for lunch" at the start of every shift...
Insert family guy meme
I've heard that Mexican families are having their children carry a photocopy of their birth certificate on their person at all times.
Im white and Mexican born a d my brother brought copies of his naturalization papers when he went to Canada.
Birth certificate isn't enough for trump, cause being born in the USA isn't considered a citizen to him.
You'd literally need a passport on you at all times to prove your citizenship, there's no other form of ID in the US that can prove your status.
Good! Saving The Children means DEPORTING CHILDREN and NOTHING about Keeping them actually Alive or Happy or Healthy!
A story about reports about a thing that may be happening.
I doubt ICE wastes resources on this. It would be a clusterfuck for them as no child can prove his citizenship status. ICE has far easier targets. This is the sort of thing that happens way down the road when they're running out of low-hanging fruit.
I wanted to find a news story about it happening, so that I could prove you wrong. I proved myself wrong instead. Check this out: "Officials in Texas have reassured parents that school buses will not be targeted in immigration enforcement action"
They'd only have to do it a couple of times to get potentially-affected folks to pull their kids out of school. Fear can be a goal.
people been saying this for years. I don't disagree but you don't gamble with that
I drive a bus in Arkansas and I've been dreading this possibility for weeks, but telling myself there's no way it actually gets to that point.
Tel them only parents of students (see below) are welcome to board. It’s a safety issue to prevent abductions.
Even if it isn’t a rule it could sound plausible enough to slow them down.
That's actually not true, legally speaking only district employees, district kids, and police are allowed to get on. But I get your point.
You don't have to let them in unless they have a judicial warrant
Why are the parents of border patrol agents boarding busses? That's not right
