They are “entitled” to education, but they are not entitled to stay here illegally. A functional system would give them a hearing the day they crossed the border and then send them home. A functional system would require students to prove residence and citizenship prior to enrolling in school, and non-citizens would be “entitled” to a free education but their names and addresses would be forwarded to Immigration for immediate deportation. Criminals are not entitled to my tax dollars beyond the price of bus fare home.
What entitles non citizens to an education paid for by citizens other than gov’t proclamation?
A functional system would also do what it takes and spend the money it takes to shut down the southern border to the fence jumpers. We’ve always got billions to spend on foreign aid and every other thing under the sun. The southern border can be sealed, but our oligarchs have their various reasons for not doing it (and for not immediately deporting the invaders coming here to steal from and/or criminally prey upon us).
