   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.
