Voters overwhelmingly reject extending legal protections to the new illegal immigrant children who surged across the U.S.-Mexico border this year, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll released Wednesday.
Less than a third of voters say they want illegal immigrant children to be housed in their home states, and 53 percent said the children shouldn’t be allowed to attend taxpayer-supported public schools.
The Supreme Court has ruled that all children, regardless of legal status, are entitled to primary and secondary education in public schools, leaving some districts to face a surge of children with poor or nonexistent English language skills and other psychological trauma issues.

Illegal children should be washed, checked for lice and other infestations, fed, clothed, given proper medical care, and sent home with a care package.
I’M starting to psycological problems with MY taxes paying to support illegals in the local schools.
And here I thought we were a civilized nation.
A functional system would also do what it takes and spend the money it takes to shut down the southern border to the fence jumpers. We’ve always got billions to spend on foreign aid and every other thing under the sun. The southern border can be sealed, but our oligarchs have their various reasons for not doing it (and for not immediately deporting the invaders coming here to steal from and/or criminally prey upon us).
Don’t worry , what could be wrong with 10’s of thousands of unvaccinated , infectious disease exposed kids flooding into schools that their parents never paid taxes to support.
His little girls won’t get the riff raff viruses and TB exposures but your kids just aren’t as important as his kids are, doncha know?
Thank you for that reference Ray76. It remains that the Supreme Court had no clear constitutional authority to decide against the states on the issue of schooling for illigal immigrants.
"A 5-to-4 majority of the Supreme Court found that this policy was in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, as illegal immigrant children are people "in any ordinary sense of the term," and therefore had protection from discrimination unless a substantial state interest could be shown to justify it." --Plyler v. Doe, Wikipedia
The post-FDR era 10th Amendment-ignoring Supreme Court got 14A wrong again imo.
Again, not only have the states never amended the Constitution to expressly protect schooling as a right, the states therefore free to discriminate on the basis of schooling imo, but non-citizens aren't clearly guaranteed constitutionally enumerated protections even if the states had ratified such an amendment.
Absolutely nothing. Still, that liberal-proclaimed "entitlement" means nothing if the laws are enforced and those criminals are deported expeditiously.
Because shut up. That about sums it up...
No, really, it’s about sheeperal self-righteousness, and they are good people because they want to “help these poor kids”, and they’re better than you because you don’t want to.
I try using the analogy of having a big house but only being able to take in so many needy people before everyone starves. Most liberals don’t get it.
You can disagree with Pyler vs. Doe
as I do...
Butttt until we get a party to represent the Citizens...
(and write laws to exclude certain areas of our lives
from Feral Courts’ vampire teeth)
it will be the law of the land.period.
Whether it “works” or not is irrelevant to liberals.
It’s not even about the “needy”.
It’s about their own self-righteousness - how they feel about themselves for their advocacy.
I know, it’s all about how they feel. I have never in my life had much use for people that are over emotional.
It's all about parents waking up and making sure that their children are taught about 10th Amendment-protect state powers versus constitutionally enumerated rights.
Hard to do that when Boehner is calling for amnesty, of course he calls it immigration reform, but he intends to pass it right after the election with a lame duck congress.
GOPe got to luv em.
This came about under Carter, but back then the illegals were just walking across the border daily and returning home at night, in Texas.
Won't happen until Governors stand and fight, but I think George Wallace ruined that option for all future Governors.
Looks like 0bama’s fiasco with illegal aliens could backfire on Dems in this election.
...53 percent said the children shouldn’t be allowed to attend taxpayer-supported public schools.

So 47% are fine with it? Good grief!
Nothing I posted was uncivilized.
Just conservative.
If you want to do something philanthropic do it with your own money. You make it clear that that is a foreign concept to you, but most people on this site see the wisdom in it.
