[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^undocumented folks pay taxes when they rent properties in MoCo.  Landlords usually build in the property tax into the rent.  And since most of the school revenue comes from property taxes (though income tax is a close second), they are paying into the system from a school perspective.  [/quote]

[b]What about those who live in government subsidized housing?[/b]  Which is a huge chunk of the suspected illegal non Englush speaking immigrants at our school. Our bus picks up many of them up from three projects.  We are the only stop in a neighborhood not in the several complexes.  Many different  families there are living crammed in like sardines in two and three bedroom apartments.  Are they paying property taxes in Government subsidized housing paid for by tax payers?  This is a real question.[/quote]

Which "government-subsidized housing" are you referring to, specifically?[/quote]

Sorry, I am not going to out these communities and maybe hurt my kid's schoolmates  I'm sure there are many more government subsidized housing complexes that have the same story.  They must be a dime a dozen around certain parts of this sanctuary county.

Paying a homeowners mortgage and property taxes through rent is not paying into the school system..that's paying rent.  The homeowner pays or does not pay the taxes.  Saying the undocumented immigrants pay these property taxes is a big stretch.

So essentially the vast majority of undocumented immigrants workers do not pay any of the main life draining taxes (state, local, federal, payroll or income) outside of sales/gas taxes.  Got it.  I thought I was missing something and there was a e secret way they were actually paying into the system that liberals knew about and I was hoping there was.

Thanks for answering my question.  Back to school boundaries and how to address overcrowding caused in part by the changing demographic.

There’s pretty much no such thing as government projects anymore.  Section 8 provides vouchers that recipients can use towards rent.  Plenty of low income people live in buildings and complexes where some people are using Section 8 vouchers and others are simply paying the rent themselves without government assistance.  Undocumented immigrants don’t qualify for Section 8 vouchers.  Their US born children may qualify for food stamps and Medicaid.[/quote]

PP here.  Thanks so much for that clarification, very helpful.  I mean that sincerely. was going to say Section 8 housing but was not sure of the accuracy.  That also explains the 2 unrelated families to a bedroom situation many of these kids live in. Some of the immigrants must be legal... For those who aren't and don't qualify, it helps keep the rent managable.  I often wondered how that worked out.  [/quote]
