Hey, John. So the Century Foundation, which is an influential progressive group helmed by a member of Barack Obama's Domestic Policy Council, said school districts should resist deportation efforts because illegal immigrants bring in money for their budget. In other words, they're kind of saying the quiet part out loud.

More than a million Americans withdrew their children from public schools in the last couple of years, feeling let down because of COVID, critical race theory, and other issues. That would have meant layoffs for teachers and administrators, except that illegal immigrants have largely replaced them.

Century said it makes financial logic for school districts to stand in ICE's way, saying the task is simple. Keep students in school, maintain enrollment and funding. Let me read verbatim from this education policy group. Immigrant students have helped keep the public school district budgets from shrinking due to declining enrollment.

Public schools in the United States lost more than 1 million students between 2019 and 2022. These enrollment losses can lead to significant layoffs. However, English learner enrollment has grown significantly, making up for some losses and bringing enrollment-dependent funds back to public schools.

Exactly. We spend a lot more educating a child that doesn't speak English than we do for Americans. In Fairfax County, Virginia, the cost is $20,000 per American, but $25,000 a year for school for English learners because the extra teacher's required. So what makes financial logic for teachers actually means ruin for taxpayers? That's caused huge problems throughout the country.

Fairfax went from a budget surplus to a $300 million budget deficit, which is now threatening cuts to the fire department. leaders never point out in these pain discussions about the deficit is that the county school spent $158 million teaching English to migrant children last year, more than half the deficit. That's an unexpected cost, rising $70 million in just the last few years.

Yeah, I mean, you look at an enrollment chart for, say, Denver, which came out swinging against this new Trump policy, and it's remarkable. The schools had been hemorrhaging students for years, but then they get that godsend. A lot of new students who require a lot of very labor-intensive services, even though their parents pay very little in taxes.

Yeah, and they don't need to bother with upping the quality of schools to lure back Americans. There are also questions about whether schools are essentially defrauding taxpayers. In Fairfax, they say that more than one in five students needs these English learner services. So they're either

totally failing to actually teach them English for years, or they're falsely claiming they still don't speak it to keep getting that extra cash.
