This will fail. Only congress has the power to make distinctions based on one's country of origin.

Ahh -- that's not correct. Congress has granted exclusive authority to the ICE to make determinations about immigration status.

That has nothing to do with individual states and communities being forced to pay for public education for individuals not here legally.

Curious. How was the court able to rule that they could get an education in the first place?
Hope you are right though - I suspect the court now thinks they can make law.

And only Congress had the authority to declare abortion legal. That sure as hell didn't stop the Supreme Court, now did it?

The distinction is NOT based on country of oragin. The distinction is based on being in the USA LEGALLY or ILLEAGALLY!

This denying illegals public tax dollars is origin neutral. It is not lawbreaker neutral.
