Abbott says Texas could 'resurrect' SCOTUS case requiring states to educate all kids

The Austin-American Statesman reports:

Gov. Greg Abbott wants Texas to challenge a 1982 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that requires states to offer free public education to all children, including those of undocumented immigrants. That ruling, known as Plyler v. Doe, struck down a Texas law that had denied state funding to educate children who had not been "legally admitted" to the United States. It's time, Abbott told a conservative radio host Wednesday, for Texas to try once again to limit the state's responsibility to educate noncitizens. "I think we will resurrect that case and challenge this issue again, because the expenses are extraordinary and the times are different than when Plyler versus Doe was issued many decades ago," Abbott told host Joe Pagliarulo.

We can't emphasize how important this Supreme Court decision was. This one case is more important than building the wall. If illegal aliens can't get their children in government schools: many will not come her illegally.
