Returning noncitizen children and noncitizen parents to their countries could save taxpayers hundreds of billions, especially in state budgets.
Afew simple calculations indicate that as much as one-quarter of U.S. public school enrollment could be anchor babies, meaning children with at least one parent illegally present in the United States. This alone amounts to at least $145.6 billion in public resources diverted from U.S. citizens every year.
Here’s the math. In April, the Kaiser Family Foundation estimated that 17 percent of school-age children, or nine million kids, in the United States are children of at least one illegal alien. The New York Times has reported on the estimate. Some of these children are also foreign citizens, while some were born in the United States. Under a longstanding court misinterpretation, being born in the United States currently confers U.S. citizenship. Almost no other developed countries confer citizenship solely by birth location.
That’s already one in six kids in the United States who are legally subject to deportation to continue living with their parents. If you also assume that all of this population attends public schools, the percentage is more than 17. That’s because only 80 percent of U.S. kids attend a traditional public school, according to 2024 figures from EdChoice.
There were 50 million school-age kids in the United States in 2024, according to ChildStats.gov (adding in the five-year-olds to match the anchor baby age range and assuming there were 4 million of them, an equal age distribution among the 0-5 figure). Eighty percent of 50 is 40, so 40 million of the total 50 million U.S. kids went to public schools in 2024. Nine million anchor babies out of that total 40 million public-school attendees suggests 22.5 percent of U.S. public school enrollment could be anchor babies.

In that case, make the outlawing of birthright citizenship retroactive.
COULD BE?
My wife’s school in a small suburban/rural district is unrecognizable as to the student body historically!
Cut the school budgets
I would tend to believe that. The number of foreign names at my kids HS graduation this year was astounding.
It’s a disgrace that we elect Feral government yayhoos who want U.S. Taxpayers to pay for the educations of the children of worthless, deadbeat, foreign freeloader, illegal aliens.
Meanwhile Bannon flapping his lips again this morning, claiming we’ve only 10 million illegals to go home again. (It’s at least 5x that.)
I just looked at the National Spelling Bee contestants...
Of the first 15 listed, there were three American-sounding names...
I believe this 100% and it is 100% wrong that this should be America’s burden.
What upsets me is local taxpayers are now on the hook for Biden’s open border shifting the costs to local districts.
Add another 25% of illegals to that.
In Atlanta its more like half. 😣
More like double the numbers stated.
This is where our CWII will start. Residents against America, as I call them, are both US citizens and illegals. They are the ones who will start the shooting against the loyal citizens and LEOs against this county.
Good grief.....get rid of the foreigners and the teachers unions would be gutted.
“ This alone amounts to at least $145.6 billion in public resources diverted from U.S. citizens every year.”
$1.5 Trillion over a ten year budget. Put that in a Big Beautiful Bill and watch some RINOS oppose it for not being enough.

I suspect the number is far, far higher in California - probably 60% if not higher.
Taxpaying American citizens pay for it all - while traitorous, treasonous politicians allow it and condemn anyone who complains.
They’re already outvoting us in many areas and this will only get worse - as Pat Buchanan says “They’ll vote themselves more services every time.”
Services that they do not pay for, like medical care and education.
They’ve learned (and stolen) enough.
Round up their parents and send em all back.
