Because of the current president and the current composition of Congress, we may never have a better opportunity to eliminate federal funding for illegal aliens in K–12 government schools.
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
Come to find out, illegal aliens dont have rights to ANYTHING that AMERICANS do. They are criminals on the lamb.
Unfortunately illegal aliens are allowed by law to attend public schools
This would need to be run through Congress to change it
That should be easily handled by demanding the exact same vaccinations US citizens kid’s are required to have.
And to pass health screenings.
No passes for illegal’s kids.
Just resume requiring them to say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning.
Absolutely!
Illegal aliens are not entitled under the U.S. Constitution to K-12 education at taxpayer expense, given the cost involved and the degradation of the education system from having to absorb them. Plyler v. Doe should be overruled, but if it isn’t, it can be distinguished from the present circumstances, and therefore would not bar elimination of the funding.
Maybe they should be separate schools so they don’t hold back the learning of citizen children. There is nothing that says they are required to attend your local school. In addition, get rid of bi-lingual classes. Teach in English only. That’s how it was done for decades and it worked for legal immigrants to quickly assimilate.
It’s a good suggestion: just declare that the schools and the state don’t have the capacity. Would have to come from a Red state (or maybe school district?) and would definitely generate an immediate lawsuit. But that would be good, because if not outright overruling Plyler, it would give the court an opportunity to narrow and clarify the ruling.
The Left will howl. But the last crack we got at this was Prop. 187, which as you know was written to conflict with Plyler. Davis knew that and thus hatched the scheme to nullify it. There hasn’t been a good chance since then. But the ingredients are all in place now to have a real shot at it.
Who ends up paying for that? You and me.
Aside from the argument in the prior US Supreme Court’s opinion, that case should be challenged.
You wrote: “Aside from the argument in the prior US Supreme Court’s opinion, that case should be challenged.” I agree. Plyler should be overruled for the reasons stated in the dissent. My article is about how we can get around Plyler without having to overrule it.
One of the ways that can work to make self deportation desirable to the illegals. We should work to cut off any taxpayer funded services to illegals. No welfare, no hospitalization, etc.
You wrote: “But the last crack we got at this was Prop. 187, which as you know was written to conflict with Plyler. Davis knew that and thus hatched the scheme to nullify it. There hasn’t been a good chance since then.” Here is what I wrote about Plyler and Prop. 187 in the mid-1990s, explaining why United States District Court Judge Mariana R. Pfaelzer’s decision that several provisions of California’s Proposition 187 violate federal law was incorrect. A shortened version of this article appeared in the Los Angeles Daily Journal, December 18, 1995, at page 6. The Daily Journal is the city’s primary newspaper for the legal community. See

We have 3 branches of Government, the Judicial Branch decided for themselve that Illegal Aliens have a right to go to the Public School. The Legislative Branch just needs to pass a Law assessing the income, tips, wages and Assets of all Judicial Branch members to pay for the education costs of foreign nationals in their State. YES ALL LAWYERS
We pay in far more way than we realize.
Because if those kids bring in disease, like the measles and TB outbreaks, we end up paying for that too, in dr visits and co-pays. And destroyed health.
I’d rather pay for vetting the kids before letting them in school, than the consequences of the family fighting a TB infection for years to come that protects the most people.
Of course, the obvious answer is to deport them all, which also costs money. There are no solutions that don’t cost. Take the easiest and cheapest one.
just declare that the schools and the state don’t have the capacity.

OK Heres what happened in TN about 15 years ago when there was no room for the illegal aliens...
TN had passed great laws about the illegal aliens but our current governor had vetoed every one leaving us vulnerable...
Georgia meanwhile had passed much the same laws and their governor had signed them..
One good one was due to start on July 1st that year so we were expecting a horde of illegal aliens to stream through our state lines...
In April that year two of my grandchildren (cousins) were registered by the necessary day for mandatory 5 yo kindergarten in Fall..
In the Fall we all gathered at the school on the Thursday night before school started for them the next Tuesday...
Parents and grandparents and older siblings watched and took photos as the excited children sat at their own desk behind their own name and found where they would put their coats and their book bags and backpacks again with their names...
We all met the other children and the other families and everyone had a lovely time...
Monday evening I received a phone call from my distraught daughter, she and my son had been told not to bring their children to school the next day, there was no room for them..
They were told someone would call them when there was room but they didnt know when...meanwhile just keep little Susie at home...
Right away I knew what had happened, the illegal aliens had showed up and were given my grandchildren’s places in the school...
I was also angry because in TN it was against the law to keep your children out of school at age 5..My children their parents would be breaking the law...
I immediately called the school superintendent and had a very informative conversation with him...informative on my part...
When he told me that FEMA had some left-over trailers from Katrina that would coming sometime in the future and put behind the school for my grandchildren’s use, I told him that they might suffice for the illegal alien children but not for my American citizen grandchildren.....
When he tried to assure me that the anonymous phone call was quite legal and no written communique would been sent or necessary, I told him he was wrong..
I informed I knew this was all about the illegal aliens and that he was more afraid of them than the American citizen parents...
I informed him I WOULD have his job if my grandchildren were not sitting in their assigned seats the next morning (Tuesday, 1st day of school)
I told him to be more afraid of me for his job and that I knew he was breaking the law in denying my American citizen grandchildren access to the district school his office had assigned them too...
I did not back down and he finally told me my grandchildren would be at school the next day...
20 minutes later my daughter called me to say there had been a mistake and little Susie and her cousin would be going to school the next day...
I told other parents they should take their children to school but they felt they should wait...
Some waited for SIX WEEKS before they got a call..
These schools are more afraid of the results of not rolling over and playing dead for the illegal aliens than what might happen if they abuse the American citizen children...
Those two little cousins are now 22 ...
Preach it!
Cut the gravy train and without income and a place to live, they'll find greener pastures, like the ones back home.
I would allow for emergency medical care, if it is a true emergency, but nothing else.
Even if they paid taxes, which most don't, they never pay enough to cove the expense of even one child going to school!
