Greg Abbott said Thursday that he is considering challenging a law that allows all children, regardless of their legal status, to attend public schools for free.<\/p>\n<p>In 1982, the Supreme Court ruled that illegal immigrant children have the constitutional right to attend public school for free in a decision known as Plyer v. Doe. The high court made the ruling after schools in Tyler, Texas tried to charge such children a $1,000 tuition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlyer is a 40-year-old decision that dealt with immigration in the state of Texas that was extremely different than it is now,\u201d Abbott said at a press conference in Houston. <\/p>\n<p>Abbott said Texas was mostly seeing Mexican immigration then, and there was only the need to teach the Spanish language at schools in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Abbott said, Texas is seeing immigrants from 105 different countries who speak dozens of languages and the cost to hire teachers would present a burden on state taxpayers. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/greg-abbott-texas-governor-feb22.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Greg Abbott\" class=\"wp-image-22178016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/greg-abbott-texas-governor-feb22.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/greg-abbott-texas-governor-feb22.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/greg-abbott-texas-governor-feb22.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Texas Gov.

It should be the federal government, not the state of Texas, footing this bill,\u201d said Abbott.<\/p>\n<p>In the Plyler case, four immigrant families were represented by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, who\u00a0had a swift reaction to Abbott\u2019s intent to challenge the law.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/migrant-children-class-school.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Migrant teens line up for class\" class=\"wp-image-22178023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/migrant-children-class-school.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/migrant-children-class-school.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/migrant-children-class-school.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Texas.
