Just for sake of discussion let's say the U.S. Taxpayers spend $7,000 per child of an illegal alien per year for education. I know it's close to double that in some major metropolitan areas, but say on average it's $7,000 per year.
Then that $5 billion and change of yours only pays to educate 700,000 to 800,000 kids, CL. How many illegal alien kids do you think are in the United States, CL?
Who pays for their health-care? Who paid the bill to deliver these babies in the first place, CL?
Who pays for their Welfare, Food stamps, shelter, clothing, etc.?
I've seen studies that suggest illegal immigrants are a $70 to $400 billion dollar a year NET loss to the U.S. Taxpayers.
Enforce the laws. They will deport themselves.
Local education is funded by state taxes (although the leviathan fed has determined to stick their noses into this issue, as well as everything else, down to steroid use in baseball). Very little comes from the fed. State taxes, otoh, are collected by a variety of means, from consumption, to property, to income, or a combination. Wrong issue here, wrong thread.
