Educating illegals is costly
On 7/26/17 a teacher from Oklahoma was featured on FOX News’ Fox and Friends” show. The story was about how she stood beside the road with a placard asking for money and/or supplies for her classroom. Touching is what is was. All the little sheeple say “awww….”.
Until teacher’s unions and individual teachers like her stand up and demand that our porous border be closed and all illegals be sent back to their countries of origin her plight falls on death ears.
It costs money to educate children. As a matter of fact, in 2014 it cost hardworking American taxpayers $7,829 per student. It cost Georgia taxpayers, 9,202.

American children or illegal children will get the American taxpayer funded resources. We should not expect to just keep increasing spending to accommodate illegals who have no right to our resources.
