Re: “Hey! Commissioners! Leave them kids alone!”
Um, yes. The point is that the article is incorrect. CMS captures birth certificates and their database has every students 'birth place' and citizenship status. if it is 'wrong' to ask for immigration info why aren't liberals up in arms that CMS even collects birth certificates and citizenship info in the first place? Or do liberals just object to the public knowing. Perhaps they are OK with the government keeping tabs.
Re: “Hey! Commissioners! Leave them kids alone!”
CMS already determines immigration status so they already know the names and school assignments of illegals. Why you ask? Because CMS requires 'birth certificates' to enroll. So, why would CMS require a birth certificate if any ol illegal can enroll without one? Because CMS tracks illegals. This isn't about asking them to track - it is about the public knowing how many illegals are using taxpayer resources. Here is a link to CMS’ own web site:

Re: “Is the local Democratic Party imploding?”
This isn't the first time:

Liz Hair was defeated as Chair by Bob Walton a Black Democrat who sided with the GOP. The Democrats were furious. The world (it was said) would implode and life would cease to exist. Bob Walton lost the next at-large election (mostly because white liberal females refused to vote for him) but then, he won a majority Black Democrat district seat serving another decade.
Now the Democrats remember and honor Bob's actions fondly by naming a County building after him; Bob Walton Plaza. The Democrats could not have been that upset or they would have never named a building for the guy they said was a traitor in the first place (ignoring his other shortcomings and illicit behavior). While ol' Bob has a large office building uptown named after him; Liz, the former ousted Chair, has a small section of greenway.
No doubt there will be a building named after Harold Codgell someday, erected by the Democrats to honor the memory of the 'First African-American Chair of the County Commission' (the one they didn't vote for and seethed about at the time).
If Democrats have long memories they don't act like it. If they did, they would have never named a building for someone they themselves described as a traitor to their party and their cause at the time.
