Thread: DeVos: Schools should decide whether to report undocumented kids

And that constitutes writing a law which is something the constitution says courts cannot do!!! Also, letting illegal kids use our schools amounts to encouraging them to live here which violates section 1324 of title 8 of the US code.

These damn illegal kids cost america a fortune. There are around 10 million of them in our schools and at $12,000 per year per kid, that's $120 billion every year. And it's actually even more than that since many of them can't read or even speak english and require extra help.

It is imperative that birthright citizenship end, no matter what it takes.

There is no law mandating birthright citizenship. It's another Supreme Court "interpretation" !!! Trump needs to say "I only enforce laws passed by congress. The constitution says those are the only laws."

But that's for teachers and other employees, not students!

This case was about state laws not federal law. Texas has compulsory mandated education for certain age groups. If that includes illegal aliens which it would unless they're excluded while present in Texas, then the ruling was if you mandate them to attend, then you can't discriminate against them by charging them tuition. If you don't want to pay to educate them, it is your responsibility to take action by calling the feds to remove them from your state and community. That is the theory of Plyler vs Doe.

Parents should demand these illegals are NOT enrolled in our school at OUR expense!

They are here illegally in violation of Federal Immigration Laws and Federal Immigration Laws trump State Laws!!!



WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THESE COUNTRIES AND START SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS THAT THE TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN PEOPLE!!!

PUT THE SPOTLIGHT ON THEM! NOT THE USA!

Plyler vs Doe was a suit against a Texas school district for charging illegal aliens tuition in their public schools. Texas like many states require compulsory (mandatory) attendance in public school or evidence of enrollment in a private school to avoid truancy laws. It's in their Constitution. Most state constitutions require school attendance. So it's the law in those states that illegal aliens the same as all other children attend school.

Ken Paxton and Governor Abbott should go to lunch and discuss what needs to be done to amend the Texas Constitution to fix the problem that caused the Plyler vs Doe decision. A simple amendment that excludes compulsory school attendance for illegal residents and illegal aliens as well as a prohibition of expending state tax dollars on the education of illegal residents and illegal aliens will correct the specific problem of the Plyler vs Doe decision.

See the Judges were faced with a dilemma. If you mandate attendance and authorize "free education" through the Constitution of your state without exception or exclusion for illegal residents and illegal aliens, then you trigger the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment if you try to collect tuition from them if they attend (complying with the law) or exclusion by preventing enrollment (violating the state law).

You probably have time to get it on the ballot for November. All states should correct their Constitutions and/or Statutes to solve this problem. At least 30 Trump States would pass the changes. Probably more as time marches on.

Yes, Judy, this needs to be done.

E-mail them this solution to this problem.

And get them OFF our healthcare...we do not owe them healthcare, welfare or food stamps either!

We owe these illegal aliens NOTHING!
