The subject of John Stossel’s article on school choice brought to mind a question. Read the excerpts below:
In San Jose, Calif., many parents want to get their kids in Fremont Union schools because they’re so much better than neighboring schools. So parents sometimes cheat to get their kids in. At least cheating is what local officials call it. Steve Rowley, district superintendent, said, “We have maybe hundreds of kids who are here illegally, under false pretenses.”
[...]
But then he went an address listed by Esterlita Tapang, whose grandson attends a Fremont Union high school. He told the man who answered the door, “She said she lives here and her grandson is going to live here so he can go to the high school.” The man shook his head and said she didn’t live there. “Caught,” Lozano told us. “She’s definitely caught!”
My question is this: Why are the parents in the article punished when illegal immigrants get away with this every day?
