Why? Over ninety percent of education costs are paid by state funds, coming from that state's citizens. WHY should we be forced to pay for the education of children that are not legal citizens of our country, much less our state?
Charge those kids. They should be allowed to attend, every child needs an education, but the illegal parents should have to pay the cost of the education of their child if they are not legal citizens.
Would our economy recover if we didn't have to feed/clothe/house/nurse/educate half of Mexico? It doesn't help to make the feds pay for the education of illegals because that is our money, too.
The government pisses me off sometimes.
What do you think?

No. Employers are supposed to verify the eligibility of new employees (the I-9) form before they begin working. I think schools and government services should do the same. While I agree that it would be nice to give those kids an opportunity at education (if they paid for it), once they can't provide documentation, I think we'd be foolish not to follow through and send them back to their own country. If they want to live here, do it through legal means. Same with public assistance, show proof of eligibility to be here or you get nada.
I think we have to make it much less attractive to try to immigrate here illegally if we ever want to stem the flow.
hey Cracker!! I WANT MY VIDALIA ONIONS AND GEORGIA PEACHES!
AP
LYONS, Ga. (AP) -- Signs point to an exodus in Vidalia onion country. Fliers on a Mexican storefront advertise free transportation for workers willing to pick jalapenos and banana peppers in Florida and blueberries in the Carolinas. Buying an outbound bus ticket now requires reservations.
Illegal immigrants and their families who harvest southeast Georgia's trademarked sweet onions are considering leaving rather than risk deportation in the wake of a law signed by Gov. Nathan Deal targeting illegal workers.
While most states rejected immigration crackdowns this year, conservative Georgia and Utah are the only states where comprehensive bills have passed. With the ink barely dry on Georgia's law, among the toughest in the country, the divisions between suburban voters and those in the countryside are once again laid bare when it comes to immigration, even among people who line up on many other issues.
Sandra Almanza, 20, cried behind the counter of her mother's store, La Michoacana, at the thought of leaving to protect her husband, an illegal immigrant from Mexico City and the father of her unborn daughter. The couple was finishing the nursery.
"We just finished painting her room, but we don't know how long we'll stay there," said Almanza, a U.S. citizen whose parents originally came to Lyons years ago to work in the onion fields. Their store sells phone cards to migrant laborers and wires their money back home. "We really don't have that many options."
The crackdown proved popular in suburban Atlanta, where Spanish-only signs proliferate and the Latino population has risen dramatically over the past few decades. Residents complain that illegal immigrants take their jobs and strain public resources.
"The citizens of Georgia demanded action," said Republican Rep. Matt Ramsey, the bill's sponsor, who lives about 30 miles southwest of Atlanta. "They let their legislators know that this was an issue they wanted to see addressed."
The new law penalizes people who harbor or transport illegal immigrants in some situations and allows law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of suspects who can't show an approved form of identification. Using false documents to get a job will be a felony once the law goes into effect in July.
I am instituting a "Keep a Mexican willing to work and send a nog to Mexico Program."
They both eat chitlins, but Mexicans cut grass, so they obviously win.

Maybe don't quote posts you are ignoring, dumbass.
You ignored my comments about your fat ass, too.
They both still exist.

I believe that education is a human right, and I don't that children should be denied that right based on the immigration status of their parents. Obviously, for many of the children of "illegal" immigrants, simply paying fees is probably not an option. I'm proud that our Canadian laws have supported the rights of children, including a "don't ask don't tell" policy about immigration status in the education system. See for example:

No one wants to go to Canada if they can get away with it in the States.

The number of illegal aliens in Canada is obviously impossible to determine accurately. Estimates by police and immigration personnel range between 50 000 and 200 000.
I just grabbed that statement so I'm not sure if it's accurate but compare that to the 11 million illegal immigrants thought to be in the United States. :O

Keep in mind that part of the reason for the low number of "illegal" immigrants is that we have some of the most liberal immmigration policies in the world. People don't have to be illegal.
