Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says the state is considering a challenge to a
1982 Supreme Court decision that required public schools to teach
illegal immigrant children as Texas and other border states face the
prospect of a massive migrant surge.
Cut!
He told host Joe "Pags" Pagliarulo the number of migrants crossing the
border was creating challenges for schools as well, given there are
people coming in from over 150 countries who speak a multitude of
languages.
"It’s not just Spanish that teachers have to deal with with these kids,
it's multiple other languages. And so the challenge on our public
schools is extraordinary," he said.
He then suggested that Texas will challenge Plyler v. Doe, a 1982 case
that resulted in a 5-4 decision to strike down a Texas law that sought
to deny public schooling to any student not "legally admitted" into the
country.

I think it will be overturned.
Part of the court's decision was that Texas couldn't show educating
illegal immigrants would place any extra demand on its educational
resources. It is very obvious it places more demand on the education
system, and harms children born here, by taking up the time of the
teacher coping with a foreign language.
There would be no problem educating a small number of foreigners, but
the numbers are in the millions, and have been increasing since 1982.
I don't think the equal protection clause would apply, because the word
person refers to citizens.
