Should Schools Help Catch Illegal Immigrants?
“Should Schools Help Catch Illegal Immigrants?”
Three authors both derive from the court case Plyer v. Dow, as all are trying to prove their argument in regards to this questionable topic. One article, whose author is Rosemary C.

However, according to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is illicit, therefore strengthens Salomones point. On the other hand, if this were to be a possible law, as that it abides to the immigration laws, it would only contradict the original intent and therefore could create a “subclass of illiterates” and would create a “lifetime of hardship” with the lack of education. Would different professional perspectives affect the argument pertaining to the debate?
Reading the second article, written by John C. Eastman, Professor Eastman uses the same court case, Plyler v. Doe and explicitly the 14th amendment to strengthen his main point. However, Eastman does include the State of Alabamas new law, “Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act”, enforcing every school to determine if the enrolling student is in fact however a lawfully present citizen in the USA or not. The Alabama Courts are in favor for the help to decrease immigration, but, it is federally overruled and therefore cannot become an activated law within the state.
