    Just like if an illegal alien is deported to Guatemala.  He then has no 
entitlement to American schooling, whether under current federal law or any 
proposed immigration reform.
    Immigration reform bills have advocated facing the fact that the 
responsibility for educating illegal aliens belongs on the country they came 
here from, whether they have yet to be deported or not.  If I want to have 
certain "rights" allowed every American citizen, I have to prove my 
citizenship.  Anyone wanting to get a job requiring a security clearance will 
be denied one if he can't prove he's a citizen.  Why should getting such 
public benefits as public schools funded by taxpayers be any different?
