Arizona Pays For Educating Mexicans

Arizona taxpayers probably have paid at least $300,000 to educate Mexican children attending a public charter school in Douglas, the state’s schools chief, Tom Horne, said Thursday. They are brought to the school in vans.

He and Attorney General Terry Goddard called on the Arizona Legislature to close a statutory loophole exempting charter schools from the same student residency requirement that applies to public schools.

“My understanding is that the Legislature intends to correct it,” Horne said in an interview. It would be nice to close the barn door sometime this century. At least they will have to illegally reside here if they want our tax money.

Wouldn't that be nice? The state is already cutting back on supporting American school children, but it seems to have money to service foreigners. We have Americans who are suffering because they don't have medical care, but just injure yourself illegally crossing our border and you will be flown to a hospital and cared for, no questions asked.

It is apparent that the school’s executive director, Jose Frisby and the assistant executive director, Steve Carvalho, knew what was going on. “It is impossible that school leadership is unaware of this practice,” Horne said.They should be made to repay the taxpayers every cent, after which they can go look for employment and residency in Mexico.
