Republicans are ramping up talks of overturning Plyler v. Doe, the Supreme Court decision that gave children of people living in the country illegally rights to a free public education.

The talks have stretched from Republican states such as Tennessee to the White House, accelerating an immigration crackdown in education under President Trump that began at U.S. universities with foreign students who struggled to get visas or were arrested for their political activism.

At a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing this month, Republican lawmakers said the Supreme Court had no right to make the decision and the additional cost of immigrants lacking permanent legal status in schools was a burden on taxpayers.

“It’s time we meet the moment to overturn Plyler v. Doe. It’s time for Congress and the courts to address the glaring failures of this court decision and finally alleviate Texans and Americans alike from this burden,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said.

These people are monsters and ghouls.

Such fine, upstanding humans. They still don’t want the “slaves” educated. Just like ol’times. Git that banjo playing, brownie. We’ve got mint juleps to drink.

16. The wealthiest among us don't pay their share of taxes,

and in some states, are getting vouchers (paid for by people who actually PAY taxes) to send their kids to private schools. The immigrants ARE paying taxes, so, ironically, they are paying for those vouchers, while their own kids are being shut out of the public schools.
Cruelty seems to be the goal.

17. "... the Supreme Court had no right to make the decision?"

THAT’S a first!! (And says a crap-ton about Republicans.)
