From Paul Welch, Social Action Ministry

From Paul Welch, Social Action Ministry:


Pope Francis invited Catholics around the world to pray with him in the hope that migrants,

refugees, and survivors of war can have an education. "Let us pray for migrants, refugees,

and those affected by war, that their right to an education, which is necessary to build a better world, might always be respected.”

Most Americans are unaware that in 1982, the Supreme Court case, Plyler v. Doe, ruled that

states cannot deny undocumented children a free public education: 

  1. The court struck down a Texas statute that allowed school districts to charge

tuition to undocumented children 

  1. The court ruled that states cannot restrict children's rights based on their

immigration status 

3. The court found that the benefits of educating undocumented children

outweigh the costs of not doing so .
