“To the extent that schools are funded by property taxes, everyone who owns a house or pays rent is paying.”
this always gets brought up but in fact is not close to true
Anyone who lives in public housing( which btw includes many illegal families who have dropped an anchor baby) do not contribute to property taxes since the owners of section 8 or public housing do not pay property taxes.
The reality is either illegals are not paying any property taxes OR the amount they might pay on a place where 8-12 are crammed into is so low compared to the amount we pay to educate their illegal or anchor baby kids we’d be far far better off without illegals and the huge unsustainable drain.
Sales tax? do the math, they don’t pay enough in sales tax to fund 1/2 of one kid, let alone help pay for the other services they drain us of
Anyone who thinks otherwise is lyingtto themselves

Everything you say is true of almost everyone using public schools, unless they live in a very high-tax district and have only one child. The system runs on the backs of those who don’t have children in the schools, including consumers of private education.
I’m sure illegal immigrants are a real issue in some places, especially on the border. However, they’re a statistical blip overall.
Are you sure owners of section 8 properties don’t pay property tax? I thought section 8 was a subsidy to the landlord for the tenant that did not attach to the property.
