left out the heart of the story.

"Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday that Texas would consider challenging a 1982 U.S. Supreme Court decision requiring states to offer free public education to all children, including those of undocumented immigrants.

Abbott raised the possibility of challenging the ruling on education during a discussion about border security, after Pagliarulo asked whether the state could take steps to reduce the "burden" of educating the children of undocumented migrants living in Texas.

"We're talking about public tax dollars, public property tax dollars going to fund these schools to teach children who are 5, 6, 7, 10 years old, who don't even have remedial English skills," Pagliarulo said. "This is a real burden on communities. What can you do about that?"

I wouldn't hold your breath on it going anywhere, and I don't think having uneducated kids is a solution, but it certainly should bring more attention to this rather sizable cost brought about by the administrations' complete and intentional failure at the border that the pseudo open borders crowd wants to pretend isn't an issue. Not the only sizable cost, mind you.
