Combine dumb, unqualified people with a rigid command structure and this is what you get.

Is this to say that law enforcement detaining children on their way home from school is a good thing?

> Foriegners (sic) cannot simply come to America and enroll their children for free schooling in the US. Not only is it economically unsustainable but it is theft of resources from everyone who has built and contributed to the system previously

My school district is shutting down schools because there aren't enough children anymore [0]. We're one of the best public school districts nationally. "Foreigners" clearly aren't eating up resources.

Doesn't matter anyhow - those of us who can afford to live in rich school districts win either way.

The culture war you are fighting is for plebs - those of us with money and network win either way.

But they came here legally and were pending an asylum case.

OP doesn't care - notice how they didn't even try to somehow sanewash using immigration status. They also decided to use a throwaway because deep down they know that too.

It does seem irresponsible as a father to illegally cross a country’s border with your child in-tow and enroll them in the school system knowing that you are breaking the law. IMO it is a bit more forgivable as a young individual looking for work since if you get deported it’ll only be you.

From the article: "Marc Prokosch, an attorney representing the family, said the family had an active asylum case and shared paperwork showing the father and son had arrived to the US at a port of entry, meaning an official crossing point. The family did everything they were supposed to in accordance with how the rules have been set out,” he said. “They did not come here illegally. They are not criminals.” He said there was no order of deportation against them and he believes the father and son have remained together in detention."

Sounds like they followed the rules and laws. Homeland Security calls everyone they detain illegal aliens but doesn't have to prove that either.

I wonder how many of the people in this thread complaining about foreign children also scream about how we need more kids ala Musk

Trumpists have already called ICE murdering a white US citizen mom as self defense. There's nothing they wouldn't justify until it personally impacts them (and even then it would be a 50-50), so the fact that some comments justify ICE snatching five year olds from street doesn't mean much.
