Last month, the Dallas Morning News published a series about illegal immigrant Hispanic students at a Dallas high school. The stories are largely about the students’ struggles to learn English, pass their classes and stay in school. Reporters Macarena Hernández and Gary Jacobson also provide an intimate and sympathetic view of the ups and downs students go through adjusting to new friends, parents they hadn’t seen in a long time, and in some cases siblings they’d never met.
The stories make a compelling read, but they glossed over the more important story: thousands of students in the state of Texas who are classified as limited English speakers were born in the U.S. The majority of them are Hispanic children and low-income.”*
