Alabama, Immigration, and the Public Schools

Alabama did the right thing by requiring school districts to verify the immigrant status of students enrolling in public schools.

Illegal immigrants do not pay taxes to the state; they do not subsidize publication; therefore, they are not entitled to the service.

The overcrowding of school classrooms, discipline problems, and lowering standard of excellence in our schools are due in large part to a growing number of students enrolling in our nation's public schools who do not belong there in the first place.

The fiscal, social, and legal problems which plague the public school system in California would be eliminated immediately if schools discouraged the enrollment of illegal immigrants. Smaller class sizes, more resources for students and parents committed too this nation, including her laws and values, would improve the culture of respect and order which are both much needed yet sorely lacking in our schools.
Until recently, I was not aware that in Plyler v. Doe, the United States Supreme Court mandated that public schools provide an education even to undocumented immigrants.

 In addition to challenging ObamaCare and the Federal lawsuit against Arizona;s immigration law, the states must challenge Plyler v. Doe and force the Supreme Court to overturn that legal decision. The drain on tax payers, law and order, and the general welfare of this country demand that our state governments put an end to forced hand-outs to illegal immigrants, including free access to public education.
