Plyler v. Doe: Still Guaranteeing Unauthorized Immigrant Children's Right to Attend U.S. Public Schools By Michael Olivas

Quote:

“Neighborhoods have no formal legal admission policies; people move into neighborhoods for reasons of their own, constrained only by market contingencies, while residents may choose not to welcome newcomers, the state does not prevent individuals from setting in whatever neighborhood they choose”

Meaning/Chosen:

The state might have strong policies about immigrants/immigration. Immigrants may get denied health insurance, denied the right to vote, the right to get certain jobs because of their legal status, however one thing  that the state does not prevent individuals is to settle in whatever neighborhood they choose to. Some neighborhoods might not welcome you but as long as you have the state protection and the rights to do so, immigrants are allowed to settle in a place they feel they fit into.
