A kid going to public school typically costs more than $5,000 per year. Illegals don’t even begin to pay enough taxes to cover their children going to public school. If they have three kids in school that’s $15,000 a year, year after year, being dumped on the taxpayers. And that’s not including all the other public services they are likely to consume.
If the children are citizens, they’re citizens and qualify no differently than anyone else. If they aren’t citizens they do not. To allow illegal children to go to school is stealing from the community plain and simple. To reward people who steal from the community is down right wrong and provides and incentive for more to do the same.

Unless you pay 3 times the property tax as we do in Texas, even you never completely cover the cost to educate your own kid. A lot of shool taxes comes form homeowners who have no children or whose children have grown up, making them pay shool tax with no kid in the school system.
