Bill would alleviate Nev. teacher shortage
By Ana Ley, Las Vegas Sun
A bill that would make it easier for some immigrants to teach in Nevada’s classrooms is gaining momentum in the Legislature because it would help alleviate the state’s crippling teacher shortage.
Assembly Bill 27, which has broad support and cleared its first legislative hurdle on Wednesday, has special significance for the state’s immigrant community. The bill’s success would be a small victory for advocates who are reeling from a blow dealt by a court decision this week that temporarily halted a federal program that would have spared tens of thousands from deportation in Nevada.
AB27 would benefit people who have work permits through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which grants deportation relief to undocumented immigrants who entered the United States as children.
Existing law lets the state superintendent give teaching licenses to those who aren’t citizens but have work permits only if there’s a teacher shortage for the subject that person can teach. Otherwise, only U.S. citizens and legal residents can apply.
Is that the legal or illegal immigrant community?
We’re going down.
Nevada needs a reality a check, there are many legal US citizens who are college graduates who want to teach. This ridiculous proposal would give people illegally in the country another stolen right. This decision by the Judge in Texas halting law breaking by the self appointed King Hussein is the best decision made in years as the King is the loser in yet another lawsuit filed by a majority of states that would be impacted by millions of people illegally in the country.
We don’t have a king you silly goose.
“This decision by the Judge in Texas halting law breaking by the self appointed King Hussein is the best decision made in years as the King is the loser in yet another lawsuit filed by a majority of states that would be impacted by millions of people illegally in the country.”
Justice, you seem to have a comprehension problem as it pertains to the law and how it works. This is merely a temporary block of Obama’s executive order pertaining to undocumented immigrants. The “winner” or “loser” of this issue is far from being decided!
An injunction or TRO, is a decision stopping or “halting law breaking” for the immediate future. As many have said in the legal community, this decision put this matter, very likely, past the King Hussein empirical reign of stolen power and illegal executive orders.
Better yet, why DON’T all those US citizen’s, who are college graduates, want to teach in NEVADA?
(Hint: the key is in the phrase lying between the commas).
“As many have said in the legal community, this decision put this matter, very likely, past the King Hussein empirical reign of stolen power and illegal executive orders.”
Justice, you point out nothing but opinion, by you and some mysterious “many” you speak of.
Oh yeah Justice, did those opinions of those in the legal community use the words, “King Hussein empirical reign of stolen power and illegal executive orders”?
Once again, an opinion opined by YOU for dramatic effect.
Nice try, big fella.
Haddi, that is the real question. In many states there is a teacher surplus, they need to do a better job recruiting those teachers to come to live in the desert that is Las Vegas
If Nevada would recruit at the colleges in surrounding states and give an incentive to take the jobs, they would be filled. This should not be a problem of legal US residents not wanting to teach in Nevada it sounds like the problem lies with a lack of information. This could also be more along the line of an ESL recruitment problem Nevada has for being forced to educate people illegally in the country and having a large increase, as all border states have, of illegal entry since the amnesty rumors started years ago beginning with the King Hussein Reign.
