When you work as an independent contractor, they payee doesn't take anything out of your check, not even social security, thats up to you when you do your taxes and somehow I don't see illegals doing their taxes.

Then of course when you get paid in cash as so many do, nothing is taken out.

OH and lets not forget about that little problem of stealing peoples identities. Nothing makes that OK.

Gee, into one pocket, out of the other pocket.

"Social security bolstered"

Yeah, well tough luck for the struggling school districts strapped for cash and flooded with illegal children.

What also screws school districts over is children from other districts illegally going to other school districts. Costs the tax payer $11,000 a year.

Not the same thing, really.

The federal government doesn't bear any additional costs when funding is allocated. As a matter of fact, a school district will get more money from the federal government because of the additional student. The local government will bear an additional cost, and that too is inexcusable if nobody in that child's family pays any property tax in the district to support the school.

The government doesn't bear costs for children illegally in a school district they don't belong in.

They're here illegally, they aquired it illegally, so it's NOT THEIRS. Did you ever think there's a reason for US immigration policy? Perhaps part of it is so we can regulate how much money is taken out of our economy?

Exactly.

BUT, the government DOES bear the cost of "additional" students that don't belong here, weren't born here, and/or wouldn't be citizens but for our stupid citizenship law.

To the contrary - that child is taking up resources - that have to be paid for

Guess who pays for those resources?

States, but I guess you could say the Federal Government. Even though the federal Gov. gets their money from the states.

Most, a majority, of money for schools come from property owners - through property taxes - which do not go to the Feds PL
