On the surface, the actions of the Del Rio, Texas school district appear straightforward; turn away students who are illegally enrolled from Mexico. Yet the issue is not as black-and-white as it seems.This week, school officials gave letters to dozens of parents at the border crossing stating that “Your child was observed crossing into the United States from Mexico to attend school…Your child will be withdrawn from the school district immediately.”
Del Rio Superintendent Kelt Cooper said that the move was necessary after citing a report saying that 540 school-age kids were crossing the border bridge in the mornings. The report did not specify the exact destination of the children and it’s against the law for students to be discriminated against based on immigration status. Yet Cooper and other officials claimed that Mexican parents were breaking “proof of residency” laws and that the situation was "getting out of hand."
As an alternative, Cooper has proposed creating a tuition program for non-residents of Del Rio though he also admitted that it has “proven unsuccessful” in other border towns. Furthermore, the crackdown may end up costing the school district a reported $2.7 million in state funding since budgets are based on attendance. Though the district’s actions will weed out those who have acted illegally, it will also have serious consequences for others:
Carla Gonzalez, a mother of three Del Rio students, said she lives with her sister-in-law in Del Rio but visits her deported husband in Mexico. She was given a letter as she and her children entered from Mexico on Wednesday.It would be an oversimplification to either condemn the school district or the migrants who cross the border. The case in Del Rio shows what happens when shortcomings related to education, wealth, and immigration come together to cause a complex problem without an easy solution.
"We live here the majority of the time, and they're sitting there saying I can't visit my husband and my kids can't see their father? It's just crazy, and a lot of people are going to be upset about this," she said.
Gonzalez said she's not sure what she'll do if the district doesn't accept her proof of residence, but she may have to home-school her children.

The Two Silver Bullets against the Werewolf of Racism - Human Cloning - Anna Nicole Smith - Why the Wealthy don't like Werewolves
Werewolves are also known as lycanthropes, they are anthropomorphic shape-shifters and show up with the appearance of the full moon or a depressed economy.
Werewolves are believed to have extra-human strength and they themselves believe to be very strong, but Werewolves are under a horrible curse. A Curse of Failure, Losing in Love, Sex and Business, werewolves are notable losers and failures, and are loaded with subconscious inferiority complexes, of which they may be not aware.
By being werewolves they believe to achieve superiority in the ladder of evolution, reaching the last ladder echelon in the taxonomy of Beasts and Monsters. But their pact with the Devil may backfire.
The Super Rich and Wealthy don't like werewolves, they need prosperity for their businesses. They need consumers, clients and births to resupply the human stock of consumers that fuel demand.
Werewolves are notoriously infertile, and they don't want to clone themselves with professor Dr. Panayiotis Zavos, the leading authority in Human Cloning. This guy has the honor of having the same birthplace as Goddess Afrodite : The Island of Cyprus, he works for his Goddess producing beautiful embryos of Cloning Love.
The vulnerability to silver bullets :
The two silver bullets that kill these werewolves are Economy and Youth. The Super Rich want a prosperous economy. But Racial Riots, Racial Strife, etc .... weaken the Economy.
On the other hand a Progrom, or eviction of any people weakens the Economy. There is a great need of consumers, to increase demand. Without Consumer Demand you only get a Depression.
So the Chambers of Commerec, the Associations of Industrialists and Producers, the Lobbies with Deep Pockets, the Agriculturists and Producers of Ham, Beacon and Poultry, they need people to eat their produce and their delicatessen, pastries, hamburguers, hot dogs and big whoppers.
The same for milk shakes and candy .... We need children ....
And without Children and Youth, which nation has a future ??
Do you want a lot of old folks like the Extremely Old Guy in a Wheelchair, the husband of Anna Nicole Smith, looking to Anna's beauties but powerless ?? .... His beloved rosies ???
Let's us kneel before all those brave Women that have Babies - Let's thank these noble Ladies for helping us with their horrible pains of childbirth. Women are braver and more courageous than Men,
Not to mention that having a baby is a big risk of begetting a fool, a village idiot to be manipulated by Glenn Beck or to elect a future George W. Bush.
Babies, Youth and People .... That is the wonder of an Economy ... They are the future doctors that will help us when old ( 90 or 100 years ) with the Anne Nicoles of this World.
They are the future Engineers, Scientists, Artists, Nurses, Consumers, Customers, our Clients .... our buyers, and our targets for marketing.
God Bless all People ( in case that God exists ! ) of any color, texture and shape. God Bless all Races that give beautiful diversity and Genetic Richness.
The people that we despise may have the solution to our Health Problems inside their DNA and genes. The people that we dislike may have the solution to our political problems.
These Children and Youngsters may solve our problems in the future : Health and Politics.
The nations that start Progroms, Evictions, Expulsions, Dispossessions and Dislodgements proceed against their best Economic and Cultural Interest. They are mad and throwing themselves off a cliff, like the famous suicide rodents called lemmings.
