Quote: "How will joining a facebook group stop the deportation of some kids?"
The point is that we are putting pressure on the government, or rather our MP to change the imposed deportation. It isn't just a group, its a partition which will be handed to our MP. This isn't just one of those 'look at the poor kids, I'm a teenage girl so I'll cry now' type of thing. You shouldn't lock a thread just because you don't think its method is going to work. The fact is that the school has been advised to do exactly this in order to try and influence the decision.

Yes, we are paying for their education. However, if you consider the long term effects: These children got into good selective schools by doing well in a test designed to determine intelligence and capability. So, based on this we can say that there is a high likelihood that these children will do well in life and contribute to our economy. This means that it is a good investment, since the money spent on their education is paid back through taxation.
