Both sides blame the Federal Government for embroiling states in this debate. In 1982 the Supreme Court ruled that states must educate illegal immigrants through the 12th grade. But what then? A 1996 federal law prohibits state-level "residency based" benefits for illegal immigrants unless they are available to all U.S. citizens--in other words, to out-of-state residents too.

...fair chance, in the race of life." When a depression hit the state in the late 1830s, however, his plans were stopped in midstream. As a major proponent of the costly system that had contributed to his state's travails, Lincoln received a significant share of the blame. Now, beyond sadness over a lost love, he carried the added burden of a damaged reputation and forlorn hopes for the future...
