Kicking Out Students?

Being sick at home I had plenty of time on my hands and when I got onto the Internet this interesting story popped up on my AOL Homepage. Texas schools kicking out students? The only reason I could think of was possible bad behavior but no that wasn't it. In the small border community of Del Rio, Texas school officials have been suspicious for some time of Mexican children crossing the border daily to attend the schools here in the U.S. Their suspicion grew more as vehicles with Mexican license plates would arrive to school to drop off children. In September school officials were sent to a border bridge to warn those crossing over to attend school that they better provide proof of residency within the district or they would be kicked out of school. A staff attorney for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund found that method to catch students intimidating and outrageous. Although out of the 195 students asked to provide proof of residency 150 of them followed through which was quite remarkable.

Honestly, I thought there would be more to this story then there actually was. I felt as though there were other key pieces of evidence left out. Other than residency, shouldn't school officials be looking for citizenship status or something like that? I think it's sad because these kids are wanting the free education and are willing to do whatever they can to get it more than those who already have it and are just letting it go to waste.
