I have very mixed emotions on this issue but I’m inclined to believe the risks associated with a large totally uneducated population is just too high. They are not likely to be exported. It’s a pay me now or pay me later deal.

The issue is not whether paying for the education of illegal immigrants is good policy or not. That's the trap into which too many people fall.

The issue is whether the US Constitution requires that local governments pay for the free education of illegal, or whether the citizens of this country should be entitled to vote on that.

The legal reasoning in that case used to justify the result was laughably bad. The only reason the justices came out that way was because that was the policy result they preferred.

That's not what happened in OK several years ago when they passed a volley of anti-illegal immigration laws. Untold thousands of them left the state on their own when officials cracked down on transporting, hiring, housing, or spending any state funds on services for illegals.

I own a wheat farm in OK, and I actually got a letter explaining how my state income taxes WENT DOWN after those laws were passed.
