TEXAS STEPS UP AND CUTS FUNDING TO IMMIGRANTS, by
simon daily, 9/2/18
The
Illegal Immigration controversy is ridiculous. Liberals are overlooking MS-13
and the many criminals that are prospering due to Obama’s negligence. How many
Americans have to die at the hands of illegals for lawmakers to take action? On
the National level, there is the Trump Wall and we currently have beefed up
security. But it’s hard to protect the whole border, illegals sneak in. And
that’s why Texas is moving to stop making the area so hospitable for illegals.
The
Lonestar State has taken action and wants to put an end to the handouts. “In 2017, Federation for American Immigration Reform or
FAIR’s “The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration
on United States Taxpayers” report
put the total cost of illegal immigration at $135 billion a year, while
claiming undocumented immigrants paid only $19 billion a year in taxes.
That leaves a net cost to local, state and federal governments of
$116 billion a year. FAIR estimates that there are roughly 12.5
million illegal aliens in the country.
That
cost often comes at the expense of our own children and their education when
much-needed resources are diverted to educate illegal alien children who many
times do not speak English, have very little formal education, and are served
through free lunch programs and other taxpayer-funded services. Now the state
of Texas is fighting back, refusing to allow state funding to educate illegal
alien children housed in federal detention centers.”
“Texas school districts and charter school groups cannot use state funding to provide
teachers and other resources to school-aged children housed in migrant
shelters, the Texas Education Agency said, throwing into question whether
states have a role in educating minors who cross the border illegally.
Prior
to the TEA letter sent to the Promesa Public Schools on Aug. 21, the Harlingen
Consolidated Independent School District had received about five years of state
funding to place one teacher and one paraprofessional in a Southwest Key
shelter located within their boundary. This year, the Associated Press reported
San Benito CISD sent 18 of its teachers and technological resources to
Southwest Key’s Casa Padre shelter, hoping to receive an additional $2.8
million in state funding by including the shelter’s students in its enrollment numbers.”
Now if only the other border-states would follow suit. If you
take away the handouts for illegals it would solve part of the problem. People
trying to get in might think twice. It’s unfortunate that the States have to
act, the Federal govt should be cutting the illegals off. American Tax dollars
should not be mishandled and spent on illegals.
