One of the decisions that we have to go after is Plyler v. Doe. That's the decision that started this whole mess. That's why people bring so many children to the United States illegally - they know that they will be able to go to our public schools.
Plyler v. Doe created the "Dreamer" generation.
And who is the "we" who are going to go after Plyler v Doe? And people don't bring children into the US so that they can go to public schools they come here because employers are ready and willing to hire them.

If undocumented children were not permitted to go to public schools, almost no one would bring children to the United states unlawfully. We would just have adult workers coming, and they would leave their children in their home country.
we have immigrants in our schools here, and somehow we're managing okay
my property taxes haven't caused me to cancel any vacations either
"Immigrants"? Who's talking about them? The topic is illegal aliens and they don't contribute enough taxes to cover the education costs of their kids. Our schools are overcrowded with them and they indeed do increase our property taxes.
Ahhhhh after reading the posts on this thread, it makes me happy to be an ex-pat. My property tax here is $30 a year. Yes 30 dollars. My average water bill is about 3 bucks a month. My cell phone is $14.50 a month. My health insurance is $1400 a year. Thats my largest bill. Electricity is $30 to $50 a month. All depends on if it gets above 90 and no breeze.
Here they know how to deal with illegals and VISA over stays. There is no reward system in place for breaking immigration laws. Your fines are compounded daily...... If you dont have the cash to pay your fines before getting kicked out you go to prison and prisons aren't friendly places here. Illegals are not welcomed. They are cuddled. They are not treated like wounded doves. They are treated exactly like they deserve, they are treated like criminals.
all the illegals I know are just dying to go to the polls where they have to show a government ID, and be around authority figures
they also get liquor drunk and do donuts at the police station parking lot. all people who are doing illegal things love to test their limits with authority
disclaimer: I don't actually know any illegal immigrants, but do you see where I'm going here?
YOu didn't read the part of my post that said they are not allowed to ask for ID in Illinois.
If we have scary illegal babies in my county schools, I'm unaware of it,
when I went to visit my son's school I didn't notice any scary babies threatening to take away my vacations through property taxes
which means it's not a big deal
Unbelievable.
We are not talking about "scary babies." I at least am talking about the high school in my (former) neighborhood that is 70% FARMS, 45% ESOL, rated a 3, and is the worst high school in the county. The proficiency rate in math is 13%. There are multiple families crowded into single family homes, and the school is overcrowded (never intending to serve this many families). You don't think that has a negative effect on the educational level available to American children relegated to that school? You don't think that the schools go begging for more money, and that drives the property taxes up?
I'm sure you're comfortable in your affluent, liberal enclave. But middle-class neighborhoods that are being overrun by illegals who can't speak English and depend on Americans to educate and feed their children hurt current Americans in those neighborhoods.
may I ask what section of the Country you live in? You don't have to be specific, but I'm needing to know where scary illegal kids are hanging off the rafters
And may I ask what name you posted under earlier? Clearly you've been banned, because nobody joins and comes right out of the gate making false accusations, sarcastic taunts, and insults directed at people who talk about the damage caused by massive illegal immigration.
