Our law firm often received a phone call asking about a B2 tourist visa to USA children can not go to school problems. Typical asking these:
A question:
   I passed B2 tourist visa to come to American, children also hold B2 brought together, want to let the children go to school, in the USA K- 12 primary school can?
One answer:
   Can't. America immigration law does not allow the B2 status in primary and secondary school America registration. 
Two ask:
   Many of my friends' children holding B2 visa, in America public primary and middle school, how do you say no?
The two answer:
   The fact that there are not legitimate. 
   Each kind of non immigrant visa or identity and specific intent (purpose) with the corresponding. B-2 is a tourist visa, the main objective should be the tourism, should not be read. A person changed the intent, he should convert the visa or identity. Anything is not consistent with the identity of the behavior are possible violations, violations is the consequence of the loss of identity. Lost ID may be the consequence of unable to convert identity in USA, extend the identity or adjustment of status. 
   The B-2 visitor to public schools, deviation from the expression for B2 visa applicants in or into the America intent, essentially against the B-2 identity. Once found, the most serious consequences may be deported. Lost identity, in America may not transfer status, prolong the identity, or adjustment of status. After the application for visas may be affected.Visitors can not go to school, as F-1 students generally can not to work off campus. If you without permission unauthorized to work off campus, it will be against the identity of students. Contrary to the identity of students, students may lose their identity.
   We now discuss the legal problem is illegal, not any problems found. Not found, could not bear the consequences. But once they are found, you may face serious consequences.This is like driving a car speeding was not found to have not received tickets. Speeding is illegal. The illegality is not because there are no get a ticket and change. You can't say, others robbed the bank is not found, so you go to rob a bank. We urge all the people abide by the law, do not blindly follow the illegal practices. 
Three ask:
   So, my child in American cannot go to school?
The three answer:
   Have a way. Legal ways to apply for conversion to F-1 (academic school students) or M-1 (occupation school students) identity. Your child can enroll in the F-1 or M-1 or approval. 
   If it is in a class of summer camp activities, with B2 identity can be in, do not need to convert to F-1. Study tour, mainly lies in the "tour", not in "science". If your dominant intent (primary purpose) was swimming, while the secondary intention (secondary purpose) study, which does not violate the visitor. But if there are primary and secondary school course required, your dominant intention into science, rather than you, you should convert the identity of students. 
Four ask:
   Many of the children of illegal immigrants in the American public school to go to school? Why does my child with B-2 visitors can not go to school? 
The four answer:
   Yes. According to the 1982 Plyler v. Doe decision, illegal immigrant children can go to school in the American public schools. The public cannot schools refused to illegal immigrants children admission.Illegal immigrants and B2 visitors were different: the children of illegal immigrants already in the America for many years, and has been put American as their homes, going to permanently stay in the American, not prepared or cannot return to their home country; and the B2 tourist visa officers only short-term to USA, not ready for a permanent stay in America, after the end of the trip will return to their home country. B-2 is that they want to go back when applying for a visa, will not long remain in USA, so he America behavior should be and he was seeking to enter the America intention agreement at. The law allows the intention transformation, but any intention to change the identity transformation should be carried out in the framework of the law in the. 
Five ask:
   Illegal immigrant children can go to school, our legal immigrants and children but cannot go to school, this is not fair?
The five answer:
   The surface may seem unfair, but careful pondering over, also has its reason.The hungry people have only one worry, and full of people have a lot of trouble. Are you willing to be a starving people?People in prison without working has the food to eat, and in the prison outside people to work to have food to eat. Are you willing to jail?
Don't look at you not, think about what you already have. 
   A law is fair, not only a comparative case, to see the original intention of the legislation, the law to solve the problem, to look at the global and comprehensive effect.
The children of illegal immigrants while in school, but they can't enjoy many of you are enjoying the rights. Your B2 tourist visa status so that you can stay in the America legitimate quite, and illegal residents can always be deport. You leave America can claim back, but once they leave the American, it may never come back.Allows the children of illegal immigrants, reading, legislative intent to take account of the interests of the whole society, want proper placement and resolve the thorny social problems of illegal immigrants, and you as a passer-by, obviously irrelevant to this urgent problem.
   Tourists only short-term access American, American law does not assume you want in USA school, you may return to the home school, America government has no obligation to solve this problem. If your child is like a USA, hope in the America school. This is an intent conversion problems, should change the visa, within the framework of the law allows for the identity, and then go to school. Of course, if you really envy the children of illegal immigrants to the right to go to school, you can also choose to have their own identity and black, and then to embrace those without identity of human rights. A white to black, with black to white hard. This is a rough road, walk before, must want to good, various sour, sweet, bitter, hot, you want to afford.
