Sending undocumented kids across a border is a great idea, said no illegal immigrant parent ever.

Maybe this is reverse psychology where the school pretends to support the illegals, but is secretly hoping the legal kids will beat the shit out of them daily for fucking up a school tradition.

All principals should organize field trips to the local ICE offices. They should make a list of everybody who doesn't go, and pass that list on the the ICE officers. Illegal problem solved!
No just kidding. This is not a good idea.

School leaders say they're concerned undocumented students might have a hard time getting back into the country
The Rio Grande never freezes, and they don't know how to ice skate.

Why do Mexicans drive low riders?
Because they're easier to to harvest the beans from.
Students at a western Washington high school are upset after a school tradition was canceled over immigration concerns.
More than a hundred band, choir and orchestra members from Kentlake High School were supposed to be heading to Canada in three weeks, but school leaders canceled the trip.
The band has a reputation for fun performances with unique themes, and it’s reason they are always a favorite when they walk the parade route in Victoria, BC. After participating for the last 18 years, the district says the trip is off.
“I feel like our district overreacted quite a bit," student Solomon Delves explained.
School leaders say they're concerned undocumented students might have a hard time getting back into the country because of tightened border security. It's an argument that some say doesn't make sense because the school has never allowed anyone to go if they didn't have appropriate paperwork
“Nothing has changed at the border,†school volunteer Phil Schile said. Schile said they check every student’s paperwork before they leave and make sure those students will be able to return.
“Whether you like this administration or not, the same rules have applied forever at the border and there's no undocumented students going through on the bus and there never had been and there never will be.â€
Many students and parents say they wish the district announced their decision sooner. Now, they're scrambling to get refunds on hotel rooms and other travel arrangements.
Parade organizers say other local bands like Kingston Middle School, Mercer Island High School, and UW are still performing, but there's no doubt it will not be the same without that something special only the Kentlake Band can bring.
