Only if the GOP candidates make it a big issue.
I would not want to be a member of congress that voted against impeaching the bastard.
I think they should be housed, fed and treated humanely while their return to their home countries is expedited.
What do the people know - it’s government that knows best /sarc
I guess we'll know if this is even remotely true come November.
And Here I thought Leftists LOVED Democracies....
If a Majority of the voters don’t like the illegal immigrant problem, the leftists will simply override them..
um... sure... then they should immediately be reported to federal agents that deport them immediately, problem solved.
Do that consistently and the illegal children will stop choosing to exercise their “right” to get an education on the US taxpayer dime.
Bad headline: NOBODY is claiming that the children should be “denied legal rights”. People are saying that the children are not entitled the same rights as American citizens.
Local school districts should tell SCOTUS to kiss their rosy red backsides. What are they going to do, send troops?
Ask Californians who have been doing it for 20 years. It kills education.
And is a huge pull for those across the border to keep on coming. We give them freebies.
Also remember children includes 16 and 17 year old gangbangers.
I agree with the voters.
They are “entitled” to education, but they are not entitled to stay here illegally. A functional system would give them a hearing the day they crossed the border and then send them home. A functional system would require students to prove residence and citizenship prior to enrolling in school, and non-citizens would be “entitled” to a free education but their names and addresses would be forwarded to Immigration for immediate deportation. Criminals are not entitled to my tax dollars beyond the price of bus fare home.

The Supreme Court has ruled that schools have an obligation to educate all students regardless of their immigration status,
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
Not only is the italicized statement above concerning the Supreme Courts ruling about schools being obligated to educate all students vague, no specific case mentioned, but please consider the following. The Founding States made the 10th Amendment to clarify that the Constitutions silence about things like public schooling and immigration means that such issues are automatically state power issues.
So not only does the Supreme Courts ruling about public school obligations have no obvious constitutional support, but the constitutions silence about public schooling also means that there is no constitutional right to schooling even if you are a citizen.
And speaking of the constitutional rights of citizens, please consider the following excerpts which reasonably indicate that constitutional protections are guaranteed only for citizens.
Constitution's Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1: The Citizens of each State [emphasis added] shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphases added]. Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
So even if the states had amended the Constitution to make schooling a right, such a right wouldnt necessarily apply to illegal aliens.
Again, wherever the statement about the Supreme Court ruling on school obligations to illegal aliens came from, it has no constitutional basis imo.
The bottom lines is that the feds need to respect the 10th Amendment-protected voice of majority voters on this issue.
Don’t tell the GOPe what the stupid xenophobic mere VOTERs want.
It’s all about what the Chamber of Crony Capitalists and the Wall Street Journal want!
We gotta have cheap foreign labor to keep blackey down, doncha know.
too late.
CA voters passed prop 187 and a judge knocked it down. The ones in power don’t care what the people want, until we make them care.
Just love how they phrase it. “Should be denied.” Like those cruel, selfish voters are “denying” illegal children something to which they’re entitled. Maybe the voters decided that Americans should not be deprived of their tax money, neighborhoods, health, emergency rooms, good schools, etc.
it’s sure “jelling: that way isn’t it. I do hope that the less that well informed segments of dissatisfed “voters” remember that Obies a Democrack.
