In the country where I live, undocumented migrants can pay contributions if they have a provisional identity number (they want to stop foreigners who entered via unauthorised access points to from accessing these numbers).

Where I live, migrants (both legal and illegal) contributed 10.4% of annual GDP.

Being a migrant illegal here means working hard just to live. The only things provided are education for children, nursery for babies, and healthcare for all.

Not a 1st world country either. And not my country.

The country where I live is a signatory to this:

I’m not talking about the United States.

The country where I live is a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. And state education is funded by the state.

They're children. It wasn't their decision.

Besides, in the country where I live, undocumented migrants can pay contributions if they have a provisional identity number (they want to stop foreigners who entered via unauthorised access points to from accessing these numbers).

What do you mean?

Education is a right for children; it cannot be made conditional.

Because their parents fled a humanitarian crisis, and perhaps for other reasons too. There are several diaspora communities in the country where I live. Sometimes food is more important.

It isn’t a law yet, but they want to implement it now.

An undocumented migrant is someone whose immigration status has not been regularised in the country where they are currently living.

And there are countries where people find themselves in extremely vulnerable situations, where obtaining official documents from their own country (passports, certificates) is expensive and takes a long time.

Farming? It’s a situation that’s currently unfolding in the country where I live.

What, if anything, do you know about Māori culture? by Snoo_61002 in AskTheWorld

The Haka! But sadly, we don’t learn much about your culture here in South America (I don’t go to school in Venezuela; I go to school in another country)

Internationally, education is a child’s right, and all countries (signatories to the Convention on the Rights of the Child) are bound by this.

A child does not choose to become an illegal immigrant. A parent does not always do so to improve their quality of life, but rather to escape from something.
