Calif schools also get funding from property taxes, which immigrants, illegal or not, are paying through the homes they lease – part of their rent goes to pay the owner’s property tax.[/quote]
While they might contribute some property tax, California spends $45 billion in general funds, roughly $7200 per pupil. With Federal funding, that rises to $76 billion, that rises to $12,100 per pupil.
I seriously doubt said children’s families are living in $1.25 million dollar homes to cover the cost of a single child. Let alone more than one child or any other services.[/quote]
Even assuming your analysis to be correct – most of the people on this board (from what I have seen of their descriptions) also don’t live in $1.25 million homes. So where does that leave you? With childless homeowners arguing that they should not be taxed to support the schools that they don’t use? It’s sort of the same situation – or maybe only people with kids in school should pay for the schools (?)
