Texas Lawmakers Propose Legislation Requiring Students To Show Proof Of Citizenship

The Dallas Morning News (11/9) reported that Texas lawmakers on Monday proposed legislation "make students at public schools show proof of citizenship, so the state can account for education funding spent on noncitizens." William McKenzie wrote in the Dallas Morning News (11/9) "Education Front" blog that "it feels like proponents are placing a target on children out of their frustration over illegal immigration." He questions how schools would be expected to enforce the legislation. "This proposal seems punitive and ill-conceived. May it die a quick death in next year's Legislature," McKenzie asserts.
