As the elections get closer, immigration continues to dominate the political conversation. While Republican candidate Donald Trump has been touting his mass deportation plan during the campaign trail, the Harris camp has advocated for stricter controls at the border, while running mate Tim Walz has discussed stricter controls on the rights of undocumented immigrants already in the country as well.
Amid these discussions, conservative politicians in states like Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee and Massachusetts have been questioning why immigrants without legal residency should have the right to a public education, raising the possibility of challenges to a landmark U.S. Supreme Court that effectively grants them access to it.
