Maybe the parents are just being cautious, what with ICE hooligans gassing babies and arresting citizens and deporting without due process and all. If I was a parent where the ICE animals were operating I'd keep my kids home too.

That would be irrational... to keep your kids at home if you are legally here... but, I am sure you would anyway!

I should send them to school and let them be gassed and arrested by ICE gestapo and put on a flight to gawd knows where and nobody even notifies me?

Arrest them for what? You don't even know if they're illegally here or not. And you can't deport people who are US citizens. Even if their parents are here illegally the children who were born here are citizens and cannot be deported. So basically you want to violate people's rights and ignore the constitution. Typical conservative.

"Get the addresses" means that an investigation into those absentees to see who are in America illegally... will swiftly follow! I am betting that 99.99% of those who stayed home are here illegally.
DUH! Of course, no one is going to arrest American citizens... only those who democrats colloquially refer to as "people" now-a-days!

No

Perhaps they wanted to get a head start on packing before having to leave.

Works for me

Of course, because it's illegal. Conservatives love breaking the law

If they’re here illegally, I don’t give a shit how they are rounded up and deported

That's how citizens wind up getting deported.
