US won't block charging fees for illegal aliens' kids
| Washington
The Justice Department won't oppose tuition charges for illegal aliens' children, court documents show. The government reversed its previous stand, developed during the Carter administration, in briefs filed in a Supreme Court case challenging a Texas law denying free public education to such children.
The department said it would not take a stand in the case, allowing the students' parents and Texas officials to dispute the matter by themselves.
