1 in 9 Arizona students is illegal immigrant or child of one

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.

Compassion my behind! I want to rub the face of every activist that says these people are entitled and that I'm a racist in this news.

All the things we do without because it is all going to people who aren't entitled to it

It's just the tip of the iceberg. Since they are still illegal, their fertility rate is 0.3. Once they are legalized, their fertility rate will climb up to the regular hispanic fertility rate of 2.9. So there will be 10 times as many in the schools as there are now.

I calculated that in the 20 years after the next amnesty is passed, there would be 18 million children in our schools that are either children who came here illegally or are the children of illegal immigrants. In the U.S., the average cost of one year of schooling is $8,600 per student. For 18 million children, K-12 (13 years) at $8,600 per year comes to $2 trillion.

$2 trillion over 20 years is the cost to educate these people and that will all be in new taxes.

And we all know who'll be paying it.
