In this the article the author goes over the impact of U.S. federal law mandating the provision of elementary and high school education to both legal and illegal immigrants on state finances. She discusses the debate of rights and privileges of U.S. citizens that should be extended to immigrants. Also she points out that the federal government should reimburse states for the costs to educate illegal-immigrant school age children.
I think that the author points to several clear reasons why legal and illegal immigrants affect our education process. Also showing that it is a broken system, and the federal government needs to fix it and take charge. I plan to use this article to give insight on the government’s failure to help states out on the education and regulation of immigrants.

This article covers how the government has passed immigration laws to control the flow of illegal immigrants. The laws have restricted the rights and abilities of those here illegally. There have been forty-six states that have enacted these immigration laws. With these laws in place there has been numerous federal court cases discussing the legality of the laws.
I plan on using this article to help illustrate the ongoing problems our government has dealing with illegal immigration. This should show that unless we can control the growing problem there will still be a crisis on how are schools are able to deal with educating these students.

ABSTRACT. California's Proposition 187, directed primarily toward Mexican immigrants, deprives illegal immigrants of many benefits associated with U.S. citizenship and facilitates their deportation. The authors hypothesized that the respondents' opinions on this proposition would be determined by in-group-out-group bias (i.e., the tendency to evaluate the ethnic out-group more negatively than the ethnic in-group). In accord with that hypothesis, variations in respondent ethnicity (Studies 1 and 2) and in immigrant ethnicity (Study 3) were systematically related to the respondents' opinion on that issue. Moreover, the effect of in-group-out-group bias was independent of perceived reasoned economic and legal considerations that underlay the respondents' opinion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the U.S. federal immigration laws affecting the granting of college tuition preferences of college students who are illegal aliens. According to the article, the case of Martinez v. Regents of University of California has prompted the California Court of Appeal to analyze the California Education Code Section 68130.5, which approves the grant eligibility for in-state tuition to illegal aliens through U.S. taxpayer funds. It states that in-state tuition for illegal aliens is not beneficial as it encourages illegalimmigration.

In current debates about undocumented or illegalimmigration, three themes have emerged as central: the meaning of unlawful presence, the role of states and cities, and the integration of immigrants. This Essay's starting premise is that a reappraisal of these themes is essential to a conceptual roadmap of this difficult area of law and policy. This Essay argues that it is too narrow and too shallow to examine any of the three themes in isolation, as is typically done. Rather, each theme pairs up with another to reveal and elucidate a more fundamental question. The meaning of unlawful presence is connected to the role of states and cities; together they illuminate enforcement authority in immigration law. The role of states and cities combines with the integration of immigrants to show how communities that include immigrants are built. The meaning of unlawful presence and the integration of immigrants jointly shed light on how we think about the dimension of time in immigration law, and especially how we balance lessons from the past, present, and future. The conceptual roadmap generated by this new look at immigration outside the law is important for two reasons. First, it explains why disagreements often run deep, and it reorients debate around more productive questions. Second, it shows why finding common ground will require looking at broader questions of international and domestic economic development as well as domestic educational policy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the access to higher education for undocumented students and migrants in the United States. Undocumented immigrants were those illegals who entered the United States by crossing the Mexican border with Mexico, while others entered with stolen or fraudulent visas or simply overstayed legal visas. Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 forbids undocumented students from receiving federal aid for postsecondary education, and the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act both exclude undocumented students from taking post-secondary education.

The article opines that illegalimmigrants and their children in the U.S. should not receive social services. The U.S. is a country of seemingly limitless prospects and possibilities, but there must be rules to ensure order and prosperity. To accomplish this, the federal government, in 1952, established the Immigration and Nationality Act. Unfortunately, this act and the "amnesties" for illegalimmigrants were adopted partly because of the sheer number of "unauthorized" immigrants that continue to migrate into the U.S.
