This is apples and oranges...

The lawsuit in South Carolina is about denying in-state tuition on the basis of parental citizenship.

The law repealed in Wisconsin is about denying in-state tuition on the basis of the students citizenship, i.e., the lack of U.S. citizenship.

The SC suit will probably succeed. The larger problem being ignored is why we give citizenship to the children of illegal aliens. It’s never been adjudicated - the federal government simply decided to start calling them citizens if they have a U.S. birth certificate. Every attempt in Congress to change that has been tabled.

It makes no sense that the illegal alien parents are the ones who decide who will be a citizen. We should, not them.

But until that happens, the SC lawsuit will probably win.

That said, have we ever seen the ACLU sue a state that gives in-state tuition to illegals - such as Texas was up until recently - on behalf of American citizen children who want to go to school in that state without paying non-resident tuition?

No. Of course not. The ACLU doesn’t give a damn about Americans, their job is to undermine the U.S. in any way possible.

Originally, parental rights were property rights. Parents “owned” kids. Then they transitioned to responsibility rights. A child was the parent’s responsibility and was thus claimed on the parent’s taxes. If the ACLU is claiming the parents have no rights then they have no responsibility and can’t be claimed on income taxes. Nor can the parents be required to maintain health insurance until the age of 26 as required by Obamacare.
