'Immigration Is Not Within The Jurisdiction Of This Committee'_ Jahana Hayes Slams House Ed Hearing

Published | Video Starts at 01:13

The United States have the right to a public education. That's the law. In June of 1982, which was not. During the Biden administration, you can check that. The Supreme Court issued a ruling in Plyler v. Doe, a five four decision holding that states cannot constitutionally deny students a free public education based on their immigration status. That was the Supreme Court in 1982. So the premise of this hearing is fundamentally misguided because undocumented children have the right to a public education in the United States of America.

CLAIM

Asserts that the Supreme Court ruled states cannot deny education based on immigration status.
