Republican -led states are introducing legislation to bar undocumented children from public schools.

The 1982 Supreme Court decision in Plyler v. Doe guaranteed children of families living in the country illegally the right to attend public schools regardless of immigration status.

Texas House Bill 1512 would require public school districts to report the number of students they know or "reasonably believe" are not U.S. citizens.
