Del Rio Texas Cracks Down on Cross Border Students
School district Superintendent Kelt Cooper says he was just trying to enforce the law when he told upwards of 400 students they needed to show proof of residency in the school district to continue to attend class. Many students, who are anchor children, live in Mexico but cross the border to attend free classes in the U.S. "Bob Dane, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, said Cooper's bridge stakeout prevented parents from taking advantage of a 'duty-free education.'"
