Its purpose was to allow states to deny public education or charge tuition to children without lawful immigration status in the United States, thereby overturning the Supreme Court decision Plyler v. Doe barring these actions. It passed the US House of Representatives by a margin of 257-163 but was removed from the final bill after prolonged opposition from President Clinton and several Republican senators.It was often described as the single most contentious issue of the bill and Clinton threatened a veto if it was present in the final version. While the amendment was not passed, it succeeded in dominating the agenda for several months in the summer of 1996 and may have diverted Congressional Democrats from effectively opposing other provisions. The amendment was the last serious attempt at the federal level to deny free public education to children without immigration status."@en }
