Supreme Court is much smarter than you

CALEXICO, Calif. (AP) - Children are more likely to shield their faces than to smile when Daniel Santillan points his camera.

Santillan's photos aren't for any picture album or yearbook—they help prove that Mexican youngsters are illegally attending public schools in this California border community.

With too many students and too few classrooms, Calexico school officials took the unusual step of hiring someone to photograph children and document the offenders. Santillan snaps pictures at the city's downtown border crossing and shares the images with school principals, who use them as evidence to kick out those living in Mexico.

Since he started the job two years ago, the number of students in the Calexico school system has fallen 5 percent, from 9,600 to 9,100, while the city's population grew about 3 percent.

"The community asked us to do this, and we responded," school board President Enrique Alvarado said. "Once it starts to affect you personally, when your daughter gets bumped to another school, then our residents start complaining."

Every day along the 1,952-mile border, children from Mexico cross into the United States and attend public schools. No one keeps statistics on how many.

Citizenship isn't the issue for school officials; district residency is.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled illegal immigrants have a right to an education, so schools don't ask about immigration status. But citizens and illegal immigrants alike can't falsely claim residency in a school district. More here:

Huh? What in the fuck is the matter with these GENIUSES IN BLACK ROBES? Does it seem to you that this finding is plainly insane? It does to me.

Look -- when you enter the US illegally, then you are FALSELY CLAIMING RESIDENCY -- CAPISCE -- YOU BRAYING SUPREME COURT JACKASSES.

YOU'RE NOT A RESIDENT -- YOU'RE A FUCKING INTRUDER -- A BURGLAR -- YOU BELONG IN JAIL -- NOT ON THE PUBLIC TEAT.

But then, what do I know -- I guess you really have to be smart in order to "really understand" -- right, Supreme Court?

Here's the background in a nutshell -- notice the teacher's unions and CA board of education joined the suit ON BEHALF OF THE ILLEGALS. Thanks, teacher's unions (National Education Association - NEA) -- they are among the most communist/socialist entities in our society.

Behind truly insane public policy mandates in the United States, you often find the U.S. Supreme Court, willfully misinterpreting the Constitution to reach the political result favored by a majority of the justices. (Mark Levin has written extensively about this in his book "Men in Black - How the Supreme Court is Ruining America."

Many of the Supreme Court’s most overreaching decisions have involved the 14th Amendment. For over 30 years, Justice William Brennan–a New Jersey native–was one of the Court’s most inventive and reliably liberal judicial legislators. The “constitutional right” of illegal aliens to public schooling at Americans’ expense is one of the many “implied rights” Brennan discovered, hidden deep between the Constitution’s inky lines.

He manufactured this novel entitlement in his opinion for narrow a 5-4 majority in Plyler v. Doe. [i] Plyler has wreaked havoc on public education (and school finances) ever since.

Plyler was a class action suit brought on behalf of Mexican illegal aliens against the State of Texas, the Texas Education Agency and various Texas school districts. In its finding, the Supreme Court struck down a Texas statute withholding from local school districts any state funds for the education of children who were not legally admitted into the United States.

Observers across the country knew that Plyler was a critical case. Filing briefs for the illegal alien appellees were the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the American Jewish Committee, the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (briefed by Bill Lann Lee, later President Clinton’s illegally-appointed head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division), the Mexican American Bar Association of Houston, the American Friends Service Committee and the National Education Association.

Incredibly, given the burden Plyler would come to impose on Californians, the California State Board of Education also filed a brief supporting the illegal aliens.

Weighing in for Texas was a far smaller group, including the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

The reason the Court gave for overturning this perfectly reasonable Texas law was the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, which reads:

No State shall…deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. [ii]

Huh? -- You're going to tell me the ACLU wasn't involved in this? Oh sure -- I believe you -- NOT.

I guess it's all about "nuance" -- that's why us dumbasses don't get it.

Hey -- how do you like it when, over your repeated objections, your court and Congress just keep packing your ass full of crap like this and then emptying your pockets to pay for it -- great huh?
