A quarter of a Mississippi school district's Hispanic students were absent the day after an immigration raidMore than 25% of a Mississippi school district's Hispanic or Latino student population missed classes a day after immigration authorities rounded up hundreds of undocumented workers at food processing plants in the state, a school superintendent said. To all on this thread claiming this “saved taxpayer dollars”, their parents were working and probably paying taxes (no longer) & many of the children are citizens, as it is written in our constitution. So, as assumed conservatives, you may want to reconsider your remarks. Hopefully, they will all self-deport and save American citizens the cost of deporting them. ALL fault lies with the parents.
