"However, the birth rates among immigrants tend to be higher than our current non-immigrant population, so they're probably, in most cases, taking in more education resources than the put into it."
They are definitely taking more because special teachers must be hired to teach them. Every resource that goes to the child of an illegal immigrant takes away from Americans. Look at all of the autistic children of American citizens out there -- if we didn't have to spend so much on bilingual education, maybe we could hire more resources for them.There is only so much money in the pot to go around.

If their birthrate were the same it would not matter.
In our society, low income workers pay far less in taxes than they get in services.
The relevance of birthrate is that it is one of the pieces of information needed to answer quantitatively- just how much do illegal aliens siphon out of the pockets of taxpayers.
