Correa introduces amendment to protect undocumented students

FIRST IN HUDDLE — Rep. Lou Correa (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the Border Security Subcommittee, has introduced an amendment to Republican’s “Parent’s Rights” legislation that would protect undocumented students and their families from having their immigration status shared at school. “My amendment is simple: if my Republican colleagues would like to protect the rights of our students and their parents, we must protect the rights of all of our students and families—especially our undocumented students, who are some of the most vulnerable members of our communities,” Correa said in a statement, a sign of what’s to come from Democrats as they begin engaging with Republicans on culture wars. Read the amendment text for yourself.
