What Alabama has done is pass a law requiring their schools to report which of their students are the children of the 60,000 illegal aliens estimated to live in that State. The Federal court blocked that part of the law.

I thought this part intersting--
236B JUSTICE POWELL, concurring. I join the opinion of the Court, and write separately to emphasize the unique character of the cases before us. 237*237 The classification in question severely disadvantages children who are the victims of a combination of circumstances. Access from Mexico into this country, across our 2,000-mile border, is readily available and virtually uncontrollable. Illegal aliens are attracted by our employment opportunities, and perhaps by other benefits as well. This is a problem of serious national proportions, as the Attorney General recently has recognized. See ante, at 218-219, n. 17. Perhaps because of the intractability of the problem, Congress — vested by the Constitution with the responsibility of protecting our borders and legislating with respect to aliens — has not provided effective leadership in dealing with this problem.[1] It therefore is certain that illegal aliens will continue 238*238 to enter the United States and, as the record makes clear, an unknown percentage of them will remain here. I agree with the Court that their children should not be left on the streets uneducated.
Nothing has change...only gotten worse.
Thank you Doc! That is what I was asking for, (I think!) I’ll get on my computer later to check out the link...
