NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) A Republican lawmaker is pushing to eliminate K-12 education funding for undocumented immigrants.
Rep. Bruce Griffey (R-Paris) filed the legislation just ahead of next years legislative session and says Tennesseans should not foot the bill for what he calls, criminal acts of undocumented immigrants.
However, its the law of the land, but Griffey wants to challenge it.
There is no way to challenge this in my opinion, an erroneous ruling from 1982 unless we pass legislation, Griffey said.
The 1982 landmark Supreme Court ruling in Plyler v. Doe held that students cannot be denied a free public education due to their immigration status.
The court stripped away state power to decide and Griffey says Tennessee should have a say.
It is up to the states to decide as a matter of policy whether the state taxpayers should be forced to spend their tax dollars on children of undocumented aliens who are here illegally, Griffey said.
