[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Arlington, for example, spends $19k per student per year. A typical illegal may have 2-3 kids in the school system. If the illegal had all three here (anchor babies) then k-12 for all three costs the citizens $741k. Add to that the free lunches, the free care in emergency rooms, the cost of medical to deliver the three kids, and on and on. Does this minimum wage earner who may very well pay taxes ever make a dent in the cost shouldered by the American tax payers. Not even close.

So we shouldn't educate our citizens? I am not following.

DP here.  We must pay for our citizens.  But, to say that the undocumented who come here are not an expense is deceptive.  And, please note that the $19k is likely a minimum cost as these kids likely need more services: ESOL, etc. and possibly special needs.

While they are American Citizens and here to stay, they should have never been and more are born each day to parents that should not be in this country.   This is why we need a big beautiful wall, enforce harsh penalties for companies that employ illegals, and jail those who overstay Visas.   Once the incentive to come is extinguished, the remaining problem can then be managed.[/quote]

Why not just end birthright citizenship?
