In Texas, we have a very good public education system. It is paid for by property taxes!
So why are we providing a public education to 125,000 children who are in the US without papers?
According to The Dallas Morning News:
"At the lower end, researchers estimate between 125,000 and 150,000 illegal immigrants attended Texas public schools in 2009, making up 3 percent of Texas students and costing taxpayers more than $1 billion a year."
This is insane!
It's time for our public schools to require students to prove that they are in the country legally.
It won't be long before the self appointed Hispanic leaders call us "racista" or "anti-Mexicano" for suggesting that public schools should require basic identification.
However, this is not about race or ethnic origin.
This is about taxes, dollars and fairness to legal immigrants who respected our laws!
