Immigration Reform Could Mean Fewer Kids In Class

KOTV – 8/3/2007 8:39 PMThe first day of school scares some children, but moms and dads in Tulsa’s Hispanic community are also terrified. Illegal parents whisper about INS raids at area schools, or agents scooping up and deporting parents taking their kids to class. News On 6 anchor Omar Villafranca spoke with one Tulsa principal on Friday. He reports she says her elementary students shouldn’t have to worry.There’s no sound of kids in the hall at Kendall-Whittier elementary, only because classes haven’t started yet. Principal Judy Feary says fear may keep the hallways empty on the first day of school.

“Some have heard rumors that INS is going to pick up kids as they’re going to school, and that’s just not founded,” Kendall-Whittier Elementary Principal Jean Feary said.

The rumors started shortly after the legislature passed House Bill 1804, the state’s newest immigration bill. Now illegal immigrants whose children attend Kendall-Whittier have started to fear even taking their kids to school.
