Can children of illegal immigrants study in the United States?

American public high schools, funded by the government, can enjoy high-quality education at low prices. Because of this, many people turn their attention to American public high schools. But as an international student who has no tax obligation, he is not qualified to study in American public high schools. So many people have questions, why do children of illegal immigrants attend public high schools in the United States?

Why can children of illegal immigrants attend public high schools in the United States?

Many people have questions, why American law does not allow people with B2 (tourist visa) status to register in K- 12 primary and secondary schools in the United States, but allows children of illegal immigrants to study?

In fact, as early as 1982, the Supreme Court ruled that children of illegal immigrants can still enjoy 12 years of compulsory education, and no school can refuse it. The reason of the Supreme Court is simple: although illegal immigrants are illegal, their children cannot be punished because their parents are illegal. These children are also the future of society and have the right to receive the same educational opportunities as other children. Of course, as long as illegal immigrants can afford tuition, their children can also attend private schools, but private schools have their own admission standards.

Children of illegal immigrants are allowed to study. The original intention of legislation is to consider the overall interests of society, hoping to properly resettle and solve the thorny social problem of illegal immigrants. Although children of illegal immigrants can go to school, they can't enjoy many rights enjoyed by B2 visa. B2 Tourist visa status allows tourists to travel freely in the United States, while illegal residents can be escorted out of the country at any time. Tourists can still apply to come back after leaving the United States, but once illegal immigrants leave the United States, they may never come back.
