Doesn't this Mean 'Illegal Aliens' have the Right to not be Deported?

  Does an old Supreme Court Case from back in 1982 give those we call "illegal aliens" the right to remain in the United States? 

  Plyler vs. Doe was about education rights for the undocumented, and it has only been applied to K-12 schooling.

  But, if the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution extends to children the right to go to school, why does it stop there? There is nothing in that clause that specifies it is speaking only of K-12 education. There isn't anything in it saying, "We're only talking education here." If it applies to education, then it gives "illegal aliens" all other protections, as well. 

   Says the syllabus to Plyler vs. Doe:

   "The illegal aliens who are plaintiffs in these cases challenging the statute may claim the benefit of the Equal Protection Clause, which provides that no State shall 'deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.' Whatever his status under immigration laws, an alien is a 'person' in any ordinary sense of that term."

   Yes, he (or she) is. So, if the highest court in the land says this, why don't we see that -- like it or not, agree that it should be so or not -- the Constitution gives "illegal aliens" all the protections it gives to citizens.

   All of them.

   One can only wonder why that doesn't include protection against being deported.
