Isn't it amazing how we all accept the premise of Plyler v. Doe now?
When the decision was made in 1982 it was considered astonishing and outrageous. I remember hearing it in the car and almost drove off the road. Illegal aliens have a RIGHT to our tax dollars?! They can break into the country and their children get to use our schools, the ones we pay for?! Since when?!
It was an absurd decision that the decrepit leftovers from the Warren court made thinking that it would only affect a few people and places. Instead, it dramatically changed the country in ways the electorate would never have agreed to.
So is it legitimate? And why doesn't someone take up the issue and talk about overruling it with a law?
It can be done in Congress. Anytime.
If we allow them to be here, not deported, Plyler v. Doe gives them access to schools. Shame on us. Yes, I’d agree with deporting them immediately, whenever found. But, being realistic and offering a compassionate solution, it seems reasonable since they are in school, let them finish the current term. Now, for those not in school, for their illegal families, deport them immediately. Should put a bounty on any citizen that turns in an illegal, drags them by their ear to a ICE collection point. Bet we could rid the country of illegal aliens in days or weeks. Walmart could make money by turning them in as they enter the store, else on leaving and get their money for goods as well. Yep, make collecting and deporting illegal aliens a community affair.
