By Illegal Aliens do they mean school children who were born of illegal alien parents in the U.S. and are therefore citizens or do they mean children who were born outside the U.S. and are here illegally?

In any case we have two choices:

We can Refuse to educate Illegal Aliens and force them into welfare or crime as they grow up and produce more illiterate children.

We can invest a little money now to educate them and hopefully they will turn into productive tax paying American citizens in the future.

One thing is clear. not the Democrats or the Republicans have the intestinal fortitude to deport the illegal aliens but instead both parties propose Amnesty Programs to accept the illegals as American Citizens.

Excellent question. That case was over illegal aliens. Children who could not provide proof of lawful U.S. residency. (The children of illegal aliens born in the United States are considered U.S. Citizens.)

Nobody's forcing them to take welfare checks. Those of us who don't want to pay for their education, sure as hell don't want to give them welfare checks. Nobody is forcing them to commit crimes either. They are already committing a crime by being here illegally. There is a legal way to immigrate to the U.S. Illegals need to be deported. Period.

This reasoning is the sole basis for most states' constitutional provision to provide education, most commonly known as "compulsory attendance". Unfortunately, since the public schools have a 44% average illiteracy rate after 13 years of compulsory attendance, not to mention a socialist curriculum, you can bet we can spend $10,000+ per year and immigrants STILL won't be able to read or write,do basic arithmetic or become anything other than good dimocraps, just like many non-illegal kids.

If we deny them a public education we're actually doing them a favor.

Or more accurately stated, We can refuse to take money from some people (at gunpoint if necessary) and give it to other people (in this case non citizens who reside here illegally) to whom it does not belong, and pretend that whatever they do after that is our fault.

OR

We can invest a little money now to educate them and hopefully they will turn into productive tax paying American citizens in the future.

More correctly stated,,We can take the liberal Democratic company line, misstating the word "spending" (tax money) by calling it an "investment" and applaud a fantasy scheme to raise more tax money from compliant automatons in the future.

One thing is clear. not the Democrats or the Republicans have the intestinal fortitude to deport the illegal aliens but instead both parties propose Amnesty Programs to accept the illegals as American Citizens.

You got that part correct. They will not do the right thing.
