SELLS, Ariz.

Every month, more than 50,000 illegal aliens cross the reservation, which is located in the harsh desert regions of southern Arizona and shares 76 miles of the international border with Mexico.
Let's grant Amnesty to the Illegals and maybe the problem will go away.
The ruling, in a case known as Plyler vs. Doe, overturned a Texas law that at the time allowed school districts to bar illegal immigrants or require them to pay tuition.
"By denying these children a basic education," the court said, "we deny them the ability to live within the structure of our civic institutions, and foreclose any realistic possibility that they will contribute in even the smallest way to the progress of our nation.
"It is difficult to understand precisely what the state hopes to achieve by promoting the perpetuation of a subclass of illiterates within our boundaries, surely adding to the problems and costs of unemployment, welfare and crime," the majority opinion said.
We hope that Illegals and their Illegal children will leave, because it's against the law for them to be here or work here.
William Brennan wrote the majority opinion in Plyler. What a dolt.
Sandra Day O'Connor joined the dissent along with William Rehnquist. Scalia and Thomas would certainly vote to overturn.
Stevens is the last fool Justice from the Plyler majority. Souter, Ginsburg, and probably Breyer would join him to uphold.
That would leave center-right Reagan appointee Anthony Kennedy as the swing vote.
Now does everytone understand why Gray Davis had to kill Prop #187 before it got to the Supreme Court?
Don't let those who'd tell you it was Constitutionally doomed get away with the bluff. Davis killed it because the risk of overturning Pleyler vs. Doe was too great. We'd have gone a long way toward solving our Illegal Alien problems if we'd have gotten it overturned.
Of course, a simple statute by Copngress of enabling legislation for laws like Prop #187 would do the trick too.
Mr. Rumley agrees.
"We are overwhelmed and we need help," he said. "While I try to be compassionate in my job, the impact of illegal immigration on our community has been devastating. We are billing the people, billing the government and getting nowhere."
He added: "Is there a responsible authority out there?"
No.
Did that law pass? I must have missed that.
In any case, American citizens are not under equal protection with Illegals.
We can't break and enter with impunity.
In 1982, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, said children of illegal immigrants have a constitutional right to a free public education. The high court prohibited schools from adopting policies or taking actions that would deny illegal aliens access to education based on their immigration status.(snip)
The court said school officials could not require children to prove they were in the country legally by asking for documents such as citizenship papers, but could require proof the child of illegal aliens lived within school district attendance zones, as they might for any other child.
But the high court warned the schools to be "careful of unintentional attempts to document students' legal status," which could lead to the "chilling" of their rights. The court said schools could not inquire about a student's immigration status, make inquiries that could expose the students' legal status and could not require the students to supply a Social Security number.
The court also prohibited any communication with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service concerning a student's immigration status and said the schools should not cooperate with the INS in any manner that "jeopardizes immigrant students and their right of access."
When the US Supreme Court refuses to recognize the integrity and soveriegnty of the US as evidenced by its ability to distinguish between citizens and illegal aliens, then does the Court not give up its own right to rule? For, if there is no recognition of the difference between citizen and illegal alien, then there can be no recognition of a state.
If congress refuses to overrule the court and re-establish the existence of the state, then surely we are not obligated to obey either of them.
I suggest that our congress critters seriously ponder that.
How about a 'Boston' taco and tortilla party? Does anybody know, if they float?
I doubt it.
But what do you wanna do--attract all their sharks, too??????
