Hispanic students vanish from Alabama schools

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (AP) — Hispanic students have started vanishing from Alabama public schools in the wake of a court ruling that upheld the state's tough new law cracking down on illegal immigration.

Education officials say scores of immigrant families have withdrawn their children from classes or kept them home this week, afraid that sending the kids to school would draw attention from authorities.

There are no precise statewide numbers. But several districts with large immigrant enrollments — from small towns to large urban districts — reported a sudden exodus of children of Hispanic parents, some of whom told officials they planned to leave the state to avoid trouble with the law, which requires schools to check students' immigration status...

More @ AP...
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I'm not always engulfed in scandals, but when I am, I make sure I blame others.

That's a big ticket and it requires no expense of our treasure.

Cut out all free stuff, every bit, and there will be no problem. 
It will disappear just as those students did, except it will be
permanent.

These wonderful misunderstood yet hardworking people the media and dems try to portray them as being know they're breaking the law.

I'm wondering though where they'll head next since some states have the welcome mat out....
