shoving them in a classroom without English skills, with a teacher who isn't bilingual, and passing them from grade to grade as illiterates, serves no legitimate purpose

Oh, OK. It's our fault, not the parent's fault. We have to make extra effort to accomodate the actions of their parents, who:

And you say "something should be done"? I agree. Reverse Plyler v. Doe, enforce all the immigration laws on the books, and the situation will cure itself. No need to turn the schools into a giant babysitting operation for the children of Mexico, which is precisely what has happened in California and Texas, and soon pretty much everywhere else in the United States.

Some of your points are in error.

Even illegal immigrants pay taxes that fund the schools. It's called rent. Unless they are homeless, they pay property taxes. They also pay sales taxes when they buy things, which goes to the state and provides overall statewide school funding.

Yeah, they don't pay income taxes, but they don't typically work high paying jobs... so they wouldn't really pay taxes if they were legal. Besides, we have no state income tax in Texas.
