Denver Public Schools to Hire Illegal Immigrants as Teachers

Denver Public Schools has announced a program to hire illegal immigrants as teachers.

The new program, in partnership with Teach for America, will specifically seek out illegal immigrants.

Only those with DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) status will be allowed into the program.

To receive DACA status, an illegal immigrant must have been brought to the US under the age of sixteen and not have a criminal record.

According to the district, teachers found via the program will only be used to teach classrooms of illegal immigrant children.

The district sees the new program as a way to increase the number of teachers who can relate to the students.
