Racist Attacks Bishops on Immigration | National Catholic Reporter

Racist Attacks Bishops on Immigration | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The reason Engler makes these protestations is that the Supreme Court has long determined that you cannot deny public schools or benefits based on immigration status (whether documented or not).  Like the Church, the equal protection doctrine considers all people to be, well, equal.  Of course, there is a minor inconsistency here -as born but not naturalized people are equal but the unborn are not - but like immigration - only Congress can change that - not state governments.  Conservatives, however, cannot seem to get either point with their High School understanding of civics.
