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]
Hoo Boy. You sure you went to school yourself?
You have made the assumption that there is a 1 to 1 ratio of illegal immigrant adults to illegal immigrant schoolkids to arrive at your $1.25M figure. Error 1. There are many adults here without kids, and many adults with multiple kids. What the final math is is unclear, but 1 to 1 is unlikely.
You assume that California schools are paid for my property taxes alone in arriving at your $1.25M figure. Error 2.
It appears to me that you are doing as many people do – using assumptions and innuendo to buttress a position you took before knowing the facts.
