Betsy DeVos immigration comments are a new low that could keep citizens out of school

USA TODAY NETWORK Linda Valdez, opinion columnist
Published 12:00 p.m. ET May 28, 2018

Betsy DeVos would let schools call immigration officials on undocumented kids. That's cruel and bad for America. It could even keep citizens out of class.


Education Secretary Betsy DeVos sees public education as an arm of Donald Trump’s deportation machine. That's not surprising.

Children have been fair game in this administration since Trump went after "DREAMers." DeVos aimed low enough to hit kindergarten kids — including those born in this country.

Critics want her to resign or apologize. Both would be welcome, but neither would undo the damage.

The victims of this latest spasm of nastiness will include U.S. citizen children, as well as their undocumented parents and siblings.
