One in nine Arizona students is an illegal immigrant or a child of one and that's not sitting too well with some residents.

It's costing taxpayers about $1.2 billion each year, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.

There are almost 145,000 children of illegal immigrants attending public schools here and the expense for just one student is from $7,000 to $8,000 dollars a year.
