Immigration advocates are furious at Education Secretary Betsy DeVos after she told a House panel Tuesday that school officials should determine whether to turn in undocumented students to federal authorities.
"If a principal or a teacher finds out that a certain child is undocumented, or his or her family members are undocumented, we must do whatever it takes to ensure the student's safety and protection from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency," said Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.) "I am outraged and highly concerned following comments made by Secretary Betsy DeVos during yesterday's Education and the Workforce Committee hearing."
At the hearing, Espaillat asked DeVos at the hearing whether schools should report undocumented students to federal authorities, to which she responded, "... that's a school decision. It's a local community decision."
Democrats, in response, are holding a press conference Thursday to condemn DeVos's response.

completely oblivious to what we are facing and it baffles me. For many of them latest Star Wars or Marvel movie takes a lot of their attention, analyzing every detail, but they don't want to bother with what is around them. You would say it is a coping mechanism, but the reality is that they don't know, and they don't want to know what's going on. When you try to engage them all you get is an eye-roll.
I have no idea what will take to wake these people up, but I'm afraid that when they do, it will be too late.
