Evidence suggests illegal immigrant students face challenges way beyond language barriers, including higher absenteeism, mobility, interrupted schooling, and greater educational needs. Texas has built one of the nation's most robust school accountability systems in the nation, and its A-F ratings rely on accurate demographic data. But federal policy currently... prevents states from collecting the illegal immigration status of K-12 students. States are asked to address complex challenges while remaining blind to a key factor influencing outcomes. TPPF's Mandy Drogin testified before Congress in March about the harms of the Supreme Court's Plyler v. Doe decision, as well as the Obama administration's 2011 Dear Colleague letter, which prevent states from collecting this data. Congress should require the DoE and DoJ to issue new guidance clarifying the 2011 Dear Colleague letter, and pass legislation allowing states to collect immigration status, both legal and illegal.show more

Texans have to pay around $6.2 to $9.2 BILLION each year to educate illegal migrant's children thanks to Plyler v. Doe decision from the 80's. A majority liberal Supreme Court decides we have to pay for infinity illegal immigrant education while we get taxed out of our homes, and our children's education suffers. Under Doc Pete Chambers, he will push the AG to challenge the Plyler decision as just one of many sweeping education reforms to fix the broken education system in Texas. Texas has the perfect conditions to challenge this ridiculous ruling and lead the way for all States to take back control of education for our people. Thanks to Greg Abbott allowing Texas to reach the breaking point with optics only illegal immigration deterrence, Doc Pete Chambers will be perfectly suited to correct a 43 year mistake.

I’m breaking down the border crisis and how we got here—decisions from both parties that reshaped U.S. immigration policy and led to today’s challenges. From illegal immigration and border security to crime, national security risks, and political accountability, this is about the real consequences facing the country right now. In this Liberty’s Voice clip, I connect the dots between past policy decisions, the current immigration system, and the impact on American communities—from major cities to the southern border. This isn’t just politics—it’s about security, enforcement, and the future of the United States. Watch the entire episode: Rumble: YouTube:

"The Supreme Court needs to overturn its half-century-old decision...which forces states and their taxpayers to fund the education of illegal immigrants. It's beyond baffling to me that this is still on the books today. We spend $20,000 a kid..from a K-12 education, that's $260,000 [per child] that taxpayers are being forced to fund for the education of an illegal immigrant." -- AFFT Senior Fellow Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist on NEWSMAX with Kelly Sadler

Russia continues to place far greater hope in missiles and in killing people on the frontline than in diplomacy. This must be changed. The key to this is to continue supporting Ukrainian air defense, and the most important element today is protection against Russian ballistic missiles and other types of missiles. Now, because of the war in Iran, the supply of missiles for Patriots has become more problematic. On Tuesday, I sent a special letter on this matter to the President of the United States and the United States Congress – a detailed letter covering all aspects of what is needed and how the supply of a sufficient number of Patriots – missiles and systems – can influence the end of the war. We hope for a response, and I am grateful to all senators and members of Congress, to all our friends in the United States who are sympathetic to my appeal. From a joint press conference with Ulf Kristersson. (2/3)

“India is one of the top sources of illegal immigration to the United States, according to the Pew Research Center. As of 2022, more than 700,000 undocumented Indians were living in the United States, the center estimates, making them the third-largest group, behind Mexicans and Salvadorans. In 2023 alone, about 90,000 Indians were arrested as they tried to enter the United States illegally, according to U.S. government data. …there are signs that India is trying to keep Mr. Trump on its good side by cooperating with his clampdown on illegal migration. Indian news outlets reported this past week that the government had been working with the new administration to take back 18,000 Indian illegal immigrants who are under so-called final removal orders.”

The Dignity Act would grant legal status to a segment of the illegal population that meets certain criteria such as: - Not having committed a crime in the United States as well as in their country of origin. - They cannot collect government benefits. Period. - They must pay all back taxes and a fine for coming into the United States illegally. If this criteria is not met, that is grounds for deportation.
