Immigration--- Coming to America

Here is a website talks about K-12 and Immigration. This is an organization website called Education Week . However, this website does not introduce the history of American immigration, but it does say K-12 and Immirgration, and there also are some of politics aspects.

K-12 is an education system in America, how it is related to immigration? In the website that I found, explains this. According to a study released today by the Pew Hispanic Center, which finds that the percentage of Hispanics who say they're Republicans is at its lowest point since at least 1999 —at 23 percent. That's down from 28 percent in 2004 and 2006. That's good news for Democrats: 57 percent of Hispanic voters now say they're Democrats, up from 49 percent in 2006, but still shy of the 58 percent high in 1999.
Interestingly, only one in six Hispanic voters were aware that one of the presidential candidates—New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a Democrat—is Hispanic.
The potential sway of Hispanic voters is not to be overlooked. They will make up about 9 percent of the voting population next year, when the country elects a new president. More than one-third of the country's estimated 45.5 million Latinos are school-age (under age 18).
Education and illegal immigration have intersected on the campaign trail. Most recently, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has deflected criticism from fellow Republican presidential candidates on his support of a bill in Arkansas (which eventually failed) that would have granted academic scholarships to children of undocumented immigrants if they meet all other requirements. These are about Hispanic and Latinos.

There is a video clip on it, it was Republican Debate. They debated the immigrants and education. One of them said, if immigrants move to America since they were very young, can they still have the equal rights with domestic people? They were arguing with that, and this implicated another problem, which is immigrants are legal or illegal. If immigrants are illegal, can they receive the same education with local children? But one of the senator says they will try the best to everyone who is living in the United States.
