Florida groups send a letter to enforce school immigration.

Tampa, Florida-a series of Florida groups, requests the execution of President Trump's executive ordinance in January about the enforcement of immigration in schools that reversed a long-term policy in which immigration officers were instructed to avoid places such as schools.

According to the Florida Policy Institute, 62 groups have signed a letter to the Florida Ministry of Education, in which he applied for instructions.

In addition, the local law enforcement authorities can now support the US immigration and customs authorities, as governor Ron Desantis repeated during his speech by the state on March 4.

“All state and local law enforcement authorities are obliged to support the efforts to implement immigration interior. The voters spoke and Florida answered. We will be part of the solution, not part of the problem, ”said Desantis.

According to Norin Dollard, a senior policy analyst and children Count Director of the Florida Policy Institute, it is an unnecessary distraction of resources.

“People should be aware that most children with parents who are illegal here are US citizens,” said Norin Dollard. “We ask the Florida Ministry of Education to issue guidelines that ensure that children at school are certain, which is guaranteed in Article 9 of our state constitution.”

The Florida Immigration Coalition indicates that classrooms and learning can be disturbed due to this change.

“It is equally traumatized for schoolchildren and school staff,” said Renata Bozzetto. “Schools should be protected from this type of implementation.”

The Florida PTA states that it is a guide because the law on family lessons and data protection images prohibits educators to share information such as the immigration status of students.

“We do not believe that the students should not be put into the position of self -crime,” said Latha Krishiyer.

These supporters argue that the focus should be on the achievement of excellent education in all schools.
