3rd Graders Homework Assignment on Illegal Immigration

This news article from 11Alive (Atlanta GA)  left me nearly speechless.  No wonder there are so may problems with bullying and hate when children are given assignments and answer/choices such as these.

Maybe that's why so many parents home school.

One of the multiple choice questions on the assignment was question #6:
What does the U.S. do with illegal aliens?
A. The U.S. puts them to work in the army.
B. The U.S. shoots them into outer space.
C. The U.S. puts them to death.
D. The U.S. sends them back where they came from.
It would be understandable if students who listen to the news answered incorrectly.  It could be a difficult multiple choice elimination process.

A.  Those in the anti-immigration movement don't want "illegals" working, so that can't be right BUT military service was part of the failed DREAM Act.
B.  Two Georgia lawmakers, Yates and Murphy as well as Kansas Representative Peck have suggested shooting, BUT that was with guns, not shooting the immigrant into outer space.
C.  The lawmakers shooting suggestions didn't mention "shoot to wound" so presumably, it would be shoot to death. 
D.  Doesn't the US have "Due Process?" before making a determination and issuing punishment?

What were they thinking...

Oh, I know! They were teaching  DISRESPECT of other humans.  Why else would they teach children to label someone "illegal?"
