The Prospects and Challenges of Educational Reform for Latino Undocumented Children: An Essay Examining Alabama’s H.B. 56 and Other State Immigration MeasuresMaria Pabon LopezLoyola University New Orleans College of Law Diomedes J. TsitourasRobert H. McKinney School of Law (Student) Pierce C. AzumaLoyola University New Orleans June 16, 2012 Loyola University New Orleans College of Law Research Paper No. 2012-13 6 Florida International University Law Review 231 (2011) Abstract: This essay analyzes the provisions of Alabama’s recent anti-illegal immigration law that affect the education of undocumented children and examines their constitutionality in view of current federal law, as embodied in Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982). As immigration law is an area of federal legislative authority, a key constitutional concern is whether Alabama’s law is preempted. This essay further discusses the recent litigation filed following the passage of this act. This essay also examines other recently enacted state anti-immigrant measures which pose obstacles to undocumented students and concludes by offering thoughts regarding the use of children as pawns in the raging immigration debate in the United States.
