Schools on Mexico border crack down on Mexican students

Border schools get tough on Mexican students

Christian Science Monitor  May 23, 2008

Some schools on the US-Mexico border are ramping up enforcement of provisions that require students to prove residency to receive a free education.  One district has posted workers to photograph schoolchildren at the US-Mexico border who are crossing into the US to attend schools.  Others are requiring parents to meet stringent proof-of-residency requirements.  Enforcement has increased as parents are concerned about overcrowding resulting from Mexican students crossing the border to attend school.
