On the recordSeptember 25, 1996
Absolutely. One point I think is very important to further note. This does not turn any school teacher into a border patrol agent or a law enforcement person. All it does is provide the person that enrolls students at the beginning of the year the same right of asking to verify what their status is in this country as they verify immunization records, as they verify residency, and so on, to determine whether they live on the right side of the street as to whether they go to this school or that school. This does not turn anybody into removing anybody from school now or in the future.
