School Dist. Spends $200k to Comply With Obama Amnesty
President Obama’s controversial plan to spare nearly 1 million young illegal immigrants from deportation is costing a major public school system already suffering through a budget crisis hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It’s also created a “bureaucratic nightmare” for the large urban district, according to a local news report. Here is why; under Obama’s “deferred action process,” announced in June, illegal aliens 30 and younger can remain in the U.S. and obtain work permits if they entered the country as children (“through no fault of their own,” as Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano loves to say).
Applicants must prove they have lived in the U.S. continuously since 2007 so they are rushing to obtain school records that confirm it. In the case of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), an estimated 200,000 current and former students are eligible for Obama’s special amnesty program and they are flooding schools throughout the sprawling district to get documents.
