Why do we allow ILLEGAL ALIENS to attend our schools? I guess our laws mean NOTHING.

No, they really don't. Since the government can pick and choose which laws to enforce, it seems we should be able to pick and choose which laws we obey.

In 1982, the Supreme Court rules in Plyler v. Doe , 457 U.S. 202 (1982), that public schools were prohibited from denying immigrant students access to a public education. The Court stated that undocumented children have the same right to a free public education as U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Undocumented immigrant students are obligated, as are all other students, to attend school until they reach the age mandated by state law.

I believe the US Supreme Court ruled they have to be able to attend, and yes, our laws regarding illegal immigration don't mean a thing.
