Parents Disguising Kids As Illegal Immigrants So They Can Receive In-Person Teaching

SAN DIEGO, CA—Upon hearing that San Diego teachers were providing instruction to migrant children but not American citizens, many clever parents began disguising their kids as illegal immigrants in hopes that their kids could finally see the inside of a classroom.

“OK, Aiden, remember — if they ask you what your name is, just say, ‘No hablo ingles,'” said one parent as she dropped her kid off near the Mexican border in Chula Vista. “And don’t pick at your fake mustache; it’ll fall off. Don’t forget your poncho!” 

“I packed you a burrito and some quesadillas for lunch! Love you!”

After waving goodbye to the kids, the parents peeled out in their minivans as they experienced their first taste of freedom in over a year– the kids happily being taught by teachers as the moms went out and got mimosas for brunch.

Unfortunately, the kids do have to sleep in cages with foil blankets now, but the parents say it’s a sacrifice well worth making.
