US taxpayers are paying close to $60 billion each year to educate illegal immigrant students, the US-born children of illegal immigrants, legal immigrants, and refugees, Alabama Republican Congressman Bradley Bryn said last week.
It was during a congressional hearing when Representative Byrne pushed back against pro-mass migration Democrats who attacked Trump’s “America First” immigration policy, noting that the massive burden of the country’s mass immigration system – where over 1.5 million are allowed in each year – falls on American taxpayers who subsidize the astronomical cost.
During his address to US lawmakers, Bryn said: “In 2016, the Pew Research Center estimated that 3.9 million – or 7.3% – of kindergarten through 12th-grade students in the United States were either here illegally or were the children of at least one parent illegally present in the United States. Can anyone tell me how much we spend on public education for that population of students? It’s around $60 billion.”
The Alabama lawmaker then noted that the cost of English as a Second Language (ESL) programs that are mandated by the federal government for the nearly 10 percent of students at US schools with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) are paid for by the state and local residents.
Bryne continued, saying: “What percentage of ESL programs are paid for by the federal government that requires them? Just over one percent. Who pays for the rest? States and local school systems.”
“So, we require it and we push 99 percent of the costs on state and local school systems. That costs a lot of money for these state and local school systems. Many of them like my state of Alabama just don’t have it. But because the federal government requires it, they have to put that money in there to the detriment of other programs.”
“That cost is not being borne by those of us in Washington. It’s being borne by men and women and the states and local school systems around the United States of America. But really the cost is being borne by children who are being denied the programs that they should have. Children who are citizens of the United States, whose parents are citizens of the United States, they’re being denied programs because we’re forcing their state and local school systems to take on an expense that we should be taking on because we’ve failed to enforce our own laws.”
The Washington Post recently smeared residents of Worthington, Minnesota after some members of the community opposed tax increases to accommodate the influx of illegal immigrants in their already overcrowded school system.
The author of the piece notes that the number of non-English speaking children in Worthington has nearly doubled since 2013, while unaccompanied minors in the town’s high school have almost tripled.

Ship these illegal immigrants OUT! We don’t want them here. That’s why they are ILLEGAL! And, make sure that they are deported PERMANENTLY. Next time they are caught: Send then to HARD LABOR for 5 years. We are a nation of LAWS, and these LAWS must be adhered. They are the BIGGEST group committing the MOST crime in the U.S. Team Trump and his allies 2020 – KAGA (Keep America Great Again)
POWER is all they want. Out of touch with Main Street AMERICA. IF they gain power the U.S.is doomed,restrictions on are rights will fade,higher taxes will be the NORM ,all the illegals will have more rights than every day Americans.They must be impeached and replaced with people who believe in god and birth rights for the unborn. They are trying to do away with what America TrueType stands for, the right to Life Liberty And the Pursuit of happiness. Not everything handed to those who feel we owe them.
We for the people of this country need to vote on things like this. I don’t approve of this. This money should be going towards the national debt not adding to it.
This is absurd , and must be stopped. Become a LEGAL CITIZEN , or GO HOME ! We have homeless people on the street STARVING , and we have the responsibility to OUR OWN FIRST !
Yes I grew up in a town in Minnesota that is now overrun by people where English is there second language. The school is so bad that people in outlying areas are choosing another school- Rothsay, Minnesota that is much better even though it is a town one fourth the size. Wake up
America and vote common sense which usually means not a democrat.
Democrats will do anything to get power, throw them out, I can not see this waste of money on illegals on the scam in detorment of legal citizens. send them back where they came from, DEPORT them peroid!!!!!!
