The resolution urges the U.S. Congress to take action regarding the jurisdiction of federal courts in education matters, specifically concerning the education of illegal alien school children. It highlights the financial burden that illegal aliens impose on the state, particularly in the realm of publicly funded education, while noting that these individuals often do not fulfill their tax obligations. The resolution references the Supreme Court's past rulings, particularly the 1973 case *San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez*, which stated that education is not a fundamental right under the Constitution, and the 1981 case *Plyler v. Doe*, which prohibited states from denying public education to illegal alien children. The resolution argues that the latter decision infringes upon states' rights under the 10th Amendment to govern education and suggests that states should have the authority to charge tuition for illegal alien students.

In light of these concerns, the resolution calls for Congress to enact legislation that would remove federal court jurisdiction over cases involving state actions requiring illegal aliens to pay tuition or taxes for education. Alternatively, it urges the Supreme Court to overturn its decision in *Plyler v. Doe* to reaffirm states' rights in educational governance. The resolution emphasizes that individual states, through their elected representatives, are best positioned to address the educational and financial needs of their populations. Copies of the resolution will be sent to relevant legislative leaders and members of New Jersey's Congressional delegation.
