Researchers have found that about 321,000 undocumented and asylum-seeking children from Central America went to American schools from 2017 to 2019.The research was by the Rand Corporation, a nonprofit group based in California.During that same time period, the United States saw a large increase in undocumented immigrants entering the country through the southern border, mostly from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, the study says.The report estimates that 491,000 of the immigrants who remained in the United States were children, meaning just 65 percent enrolled in school.About 75 percent of the 321,000 students went to school in 10 states: California, Texas, Florida, New York, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana.When inside the country, U.S. federal law guarantees children an education without considering their immigration status.U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said he supports undocumented students' right to a public education.
研究人员发现,从2017年至2019年,来自中美洲的约32.1万名无证和寻求庇护的儿童在美国学校上学。这项研究是由总部位于加利福尼亚州的非营利性组织兰德公司进行的。该研究称,在同一时期,通过南部边境进入美国的非法移民大幅增加,其中大部分来自墨西哥、萨尔瓦多、危地马拉和洪都拉斯。报告估计,留在美国的移民中有49.1万人是儿童,这意味着移民的入学率只有65%。在32.1万名学生中,约75%的人在10个州上学:加利福尼亚州、得克萨斯州、佛罗里达州、纽约州、弗吉尼亚州、马里兰州、新泽西州、北卡罗来纳州、佐治亚州和路易斯安那州。在美国境内,在不考虑儿童移民身份的情况下,美国联邦法律保障儿童接受教育。美国教育部长米格尔・卡多纳表示,他支持无证学生享有公共教育的权利。
