“I say they should get in-state tuition IF they first pay the per pupil state avg cost times the number of years they were enrolled illegally in K-12.”
You keep pimping this idea when citizens only indirectly pay for schools via the real estate tax. Well guess what, illegals also indirectly pay via the real estate tax too.
Your argument here is hogwash.
In Fairfax County, VA, half of the real estate tax goes to the schools. Not really so “indirect.” The median house value in the county is $488,900, with a tax rate of $1.090/$100.
Conversely, most of the county’s illegal population lives in subsidized (read: taxpayer subsidized) housing, so the ‘indirect’ payment toward schools does not begin to equal that of a home owner.
Let me pimp an idea for you. I do not care how much money an illegal alien directly or indirectly contributes. Utopian ends never justify illegal means.
What part of ILLEGAL are you having a difficult time understanding?
