Your children have every right to a U.S. education, but they have to live in the school district. All children living in a school district can attend that district's public schools (regardless of legal status). Now, is there a relative or guardian they could live with while you're in this situation? Secondly, since their father is Mexican, they also may claim Mexican nationality. It is entirely legal under the laws of both the U.S. and Mexico for your children to have dual nationality. Go to your local Mexican immigration office: You'll need the father's proof of Mexican citizenship as well as the extended birth certificates for the children showing that their father is a Mexican citizen. This will allow them to enroll in a Mexican school. Again, your children must reside in the U.S. school district in order to attend the school. That's because residents of the district pay the taxes that support that school. You'll have to seriously consider having them live with a relative or naming a guardian in that district in order for them to qualify. Barring that, you might consider establishing a residence in the district yourself - even renting a dirt-cheap studio in the district and setting up utility payments - in order to qualify.
Your kids can walk across the border unnattended just like the thousands of other children that do the same and get the education that you want them to. But they shouldn't. You made a choice to become residents of Mexico with your two children, by doing that your chose to take them to the Mexican school district. Your children should not be educated with US tax dollars if they are residents of another country. Regardless of their citizenship. It is because of children from other countries (mainly Mexico) that my children cannot bring their textbooks home to study from school. My children would be able to bring the books home if countless books weren't stolen/"not returned" by children living abroad. the answer to your question is no. In fact, the individual state laws require that the child live in the state/district to become a student. (pending on the state) You want Goverment assistance? Ask the Government you chose to live under----Mexico.
