7. SOUNDBITE (English) State Rep. William Lamberth, (R) Tennessee, sponsor of a bill that would allow schools to prohibit students who are living in the US illegally from accessing free public education:
"We want to be able to allow our schools _ allow not force _ but allow our schools to ask for proof of immigration status. And for most people that’s gonna be a birth certificate to prove that you’re a US citizen, but if not, to at least prove that you’re legally here and then if you are not a legal citizen , if you’re illegally in the United States, then that school would be able to charge you a tuition that would be commiserate with the additional cost of educating that child."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Silvestre Correa Del Canto, 12-year-old from Nashville, Tennessee, on the proposed legislation:
"I want to say how I think it’s a very unfair thing that undocumented kids aren’t able to go to school because first of all, they didn’t have any say if their parents came here because they were most likely very young, like I was. Most kids can’t talk and say that they don’t want to go there."
10. Mid shot of families and children holding signs advocating for educational rights in Nashville.
11. SOUNDBITE (English) State Sen. Page Walley, (R) Tennessee, on why he was voting against the bill:
"We in Tennessee have a noble history of saying that children should not be part of these kind of policy debates. And should not be caught in the crossfire of that."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Silvestre Correa Del Canto, 12-year-old from Nashville, Tennessee, on allowing children access to free public education despite their immigration status.
"They can, um, they can be doctors when they grow up and save people’s lives or do something really great if they get the right education."
