Well he might be lowering your grade!

The Court, sadly, resolved this issue in Plyler v. Doe, holding that illegal aliens are subject to our jurisdiction by being here. In doing so, the Court further held that they were entitled to "equal protection" and permitted those illegal aliens to be granted free k-12 public education. In fact, Plyler v. Doe makes it illegal to require proof of citizenship before entering a public school at that grade level. (I am not talking about children born here of illegals,m I am talking about illegal children).

Thus -- the 1982 Supreme Court case has answered your jurisdiction question, and further imparted not just the "protections" of the 14th Amendment, but it provided to illegals the benefits of citizenship. This is unquestionably, one of the worst and most consequential Supreme Court decisions in the last 40 years.

Thanks -- I don't pretend to be a Constitutional scholar!

Even US Supreme Court cases have been overturned, so we can only hope.

? Citizenship is not required for schooling, the non-citizen children of permanent or temporary legal residents are able to attend public school.
