Shock Data: Nearly 25% of K-12 Students Could Be Anchor Babies

The strain that the children of illegal aliens are placing on America’s schools are greater than you could’ve imagined.

According to the Populist Times: 

ChildStats.gov estimates that there are about 50 million school-going children, of whom 80% or 40 million attended public schools. With nine million of the 40 million public school-attending students being anchor babies, the percentage of children with illegal alien parents amounts to about 22.5%, or nearly a quarter of those enrolled. 

With each school-going child spending about $16,280 per year in education, according to 2020 figures, the country spends about $145.6 billion annually educating children born to illegal immigrants. Some inefficient blue states, such as New York, spend as much as $35,012 per student annually, making overall spending even higher. Others, such as California, spend about $19,000, while Illinois spends about $24,000 per public school-attending student per year.

Of note, the cost estimates above are based on 2020 figures, and are thus underestimates. Public schools are now spending $20,387 per pupil, or 25% more. In other words, the annual cost of illegal alien children in public schools is likely around $182 billion. In other words, the cost of educating illegal alien children exceeds $1 trillion every five-and-a-half years. 

None of these figures account for illegal aliens who bring over their children when immigration illegally and have them enrolled in public schools as non-citizens. 

President Donald Trump ended birthright citizenship through executive order on his first day as president, but this, like countless others, has been challenged in the courts and blocked by left-wing activist judges for now.
