His active questioning of lawyers representing the school boards , who have been sued by white parents whose children were denied their first choice of schools , was the most closely watched.He noted that even the Bush administration , which intervened on behalf of the white parents , said in its brief that " school districts have an unquestioned interest in reducing minority isolation , " but it added that only if it were achieved by " race-neutral means . A broadly written decision on Louisville 's plan , and on a related one from Seattle , could have a profound impact on school systems across the country.It is the first time in more than a decade that the Supreme Court will consider what is proper for school systems to do to promote desegregation , and it is the first test on the issue for two new justices who in the past have been skeptical about the use of racial classifications.Both sides have circled Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. ' s dissenting opinion in a voting rights case decided in the last term that " it is a sordid business , this divvying us up by race . In all , they examined the accuracy of 18 claims in 43 separate House and Senate debates.How did the nation 's lawmakers do ? The only problem was that all of Goddard 's other sources indicated that immigrant smuggling was still booming in Arizona.So on Sept. 21 , Goddard expanded the program , issuing a warrant blocking all Western Union money transfers of $ 500 and above from 26 states with a significant population of illegal immigrants to a group of Western Union outlets in the northern Mexican state of Sonora . In particular , we ask that Congress commence a federal study to determine the effect of illegal immigration upon our public education system . The small harm done to a few students who do not get their first choice of schools , Louisville argued in its brief , is outweighed by the value of an integrated school system that " significantly advances the goal of teaching students how to participate in a democracy that has formed a single society out of many diverse people . Yesterday in Richmond , a House committee approved a bill that would ban taxpayer money going to religious and charitable groups that provide assistance to illegal immigrants.The legislation was sponsored by Jackson Miller , the newly elected Republican delegate from Manassas , who said he was upset that taxpayers ' money was used to fund a day-laborer center in Herndon in 2005.The county government study was able to determine only the specific costs of illegal immigration at the county jail and juvenile detention center and the administrative costs of processing emergency Medicaid applications at hospitals and clinics.Most of the $ 3 million was spent housing illegal immigrants at the jail , according to the study.Gerhart said the county could not determine how much the school system spends on illegal immigrants , because students are not required to provide proof of legal status.Prince William 's study was unusual because it was the first attempt by a local government in the region to determine the price tag of funding local services for illegal immigrants , according to the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments and the National Council of La Raza , a leading Hispanic civil rights group . He won the Ig Noble Prize in Literature for his article " Consequences of Erudite Vernacular Utilized Irrespective of Necessity : Problems With Using Long Words Needlessly , " which appeared in the March issue of Applied Cognitive Psychology . " You know , it 's like saying everybody can have a meal but only people with separate skin can get the dessert , " he said.In the cases at issue - - Parents Involved in Community Schools Inc. v. Seattle School District and Meredith v. Jefferson County ( Ky. ) Board of Education - - both systems offer parents and students a choice of schools , partly to achieve a level of integration that would n't otherwise be possible because of racially segregated housing patterns . " We believe that the U.S. Congress is in charge of determining the number of illegal immigrants . His comments came as a U.S. Treasury envoy said his agency 's suspicions of illegal financial activity involving North Korean-linked bank accounts had been " vindicated " in talks with Pyongyang officials . " The ultimate decision is likely to be one of the most defining of the court headed by the new chief justice , John G. Roberts Jr ., and a powerful statement about where the nation stands more than 50 years after Brown v. Board of Education demanded an end to segregated schools.The court , encouraged by the Bush administration , has grown increasingly distrustful of racial classifications , and it reached out to take up the cases challenging schools in Seattle and Louisville even though appeals courts had upheld them as constitutional.Because of the stakes , the day at the court took on a feeling of great import - - there were demonstrations on the plaza out front , some people camped overnight in freezing temperatures to secure a spot in the courtroom , and the lines for members of the bar began forming before dawn .
