"SNIP......

Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump's nativist advisor, tried to devise a plan that would keep undocumented immigrant children from attending public schools,Bloomberg reported.

He eventually gave up after being told it would violate a 1982 Supreme Court ruling.

This month, the White House issued a Miller-devised strategy to deny permanent residency to immigrants who may use food stamps, Medicaid, or housing assistance.

The Trump administration already targets schools that accept undocumented immigrants by permitting Immigration and Customs Enforcement to arrest undocumented parents dropping their kids off.
