Plyler v. Doe: Arguments

Argument #1

The Court should rule with Plyler (the school). The schools are for legal U.S. residents. It isn't right for taxpayers to be burdened with supporting children of illegal aliens.

Argument #2

The Court should rule with the students. Just because their parents brought them to this country illegally, they (the children) should not be deprived of basic rights (like education).
