AI Summary
This resolution urges the United States Congress to remove federal courts' authority to hear cases concerning state actions that require undocumented immigrants to pay tuition or taxes for public education, or alternatively, it urges the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn its 1981 decision in *Plyler v. Doe*. The resolution argues that *Plyler v. Doe* wrongly interfered with states' rights, as guaranteed by the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, to govern education within their borders, especially since the Supreme Court had previously ruled in *San Antonio Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Rodriguez* (1973) that education is not a fundamental right under the Constitution. The resolution also contends that undocumented immigrants often do not contribute their full share in taxes, creating a financial burden on the state, and that states are best positioned to determine their own educational and financial needs.
