WASHINGTON —The Sup
reme Court ruled 8-1 Monday
that states may deny free public
education to the children of de
ported illegal aliens, even if the
offspring were born in the Un
ited States.
Affirming a lower court, the
justices upheld a Texas law that
forces American-born youths to
pay tuition if they are living in
the state without their parents
simply to take advantage of free
schools.
In another Texas school’s
case last year, the justices ruled
5-4 children of undocumented
immigrants are entitled to free
education. Combined, the rul
ings have the curious result of
granting free education to
youths who are themselves illeg
al aliens and denying it to U.S.
citizens whose alien parents
were deported.
“The Constitution permits a
state to restrict eligibility for tui
tion-free education to its bona
fide residents,” Justice Lewis
Powell wrote for the court.
Texas’ law requiring proof of
residency to be eligible for free
public education is a residence
requirement that ensures “ser
vices provided for its residents
are enjoyed only by residents,”
Powell said.
Justice Thurgood Marshall
dissented, saying the state has
not “adequately justified its de
nial of public education to one
small class of school-age resi
dents.”
The dispute involved chil
dren who were born in the Un
ited States — and thus are
citizens under the Constitution
— but whose parents have been
deported because they entered
the United States illegally.
Texas law provides that chil
dren living with parents or legal
guardians are automatically eli
gible for free public education in
the county of their residence.
Children “in any other living
arrangement” must not only
prove their residence in a school
district, but also must explain
their purpose for establishing,
the residence.
The case was filed on behalf
of Roberto Morales, a U.S.
citizen born of Mexican parents.
When his parents were de
ported, they took Roberto back
to Mexico.
But in 1977, when he was 9,
his parents decided he should
attend school in the United
States and learn to speak En
glish. So they sent him to live
with his adult sister, Oralia Mar
tinez, in the border city of
McAllen.
In the fall of 1977, Roberto
applied for admission to the
McAllen School District, but was
rejected because he had moved
to McAllen for the purpose of
attending school.
Since Roberto and his sister
are indigent, they cannot afford
to pay tuition and he is thus
effectively prevented from
attending public school in
Texas.
Attorneys for Texas Rural
Legal Aid Inc. filed suit on his
behalf, charging that the Texas
provision clearly discriminates
against Mexican-Americans.

loursiBfhe law had allowed police to

from place to place without
apparent reason or business.”
A federal district judge ear
lier ruled in Lawson’s favor, dec
laring that when a police officer
approaches a person but does
not have “probable cause” to be
lieve he has committed a crime,
the person “cannot be punished
for failing to identify himself.”
Lawson’s lawyers said the sta
tute compelling identification
had resulted in arbitrary harass
ment and arrests, and discrimi-
tice Sandra Day O’Connor said
the law “encourages arbitrary
enforcement by failing to de
scribe with sufficient particular
ity what a suspect must do in
order to satisfy the statute.”
The discretion police have in
deciding what is proper identifi
cation with this law “furnishes a
convenient tool for harsh and
discriminatory enforcement
against particular groups
deemed to merit their displea
sure,” O’Connor wrote.
Justices Byron White and Wil
liam Rehnquist dissented from
the ruling.
In other action Monday, the
court:
— upheld Congress’ franking
privilege allowing senators and
representatives to send free
mailings to their constitutents.
— let stand a ruling that pre
vents Washington state from
closing its borders to radioactive
waste.

The justices upheld a federal
appeals court ruling that over
turned the state vagrancy statute
because it turned “otherwise in
