How can anyone justify this egregious fleecing of U.S. taxpayers?

Quote:
Public education is by far the largest expense state and local governments incur on behalf illegal aliens.

At least $31.9 billion is spent annually on current expenses incurred to educate children of illegal aliens.
Quote:
Texas officials had argued that illegal immigrants were not "within the jurisdiction" of the state and could thus not claim protections under the Fourteenth Amendment.

Chief Justice Warren Burger supported the state's position in his dissenting opinion:

"The Equal Protection Clause does not mandate identical treatment of different categories of persons... Without laboring what will seem obvious to many, it simply is not "irrational" for a state to conclude that it does not have the same responsibility to provide benefits to persons whose very presence in the state and this country is illegal as it does to provide for persons lawfully present. By definition, illegal aliens have no right whatever to be here, and the state may reasonably, and constitutionally, elect not to provide them with governmental services at the expense of those who are lawfully in the state..."

This loophole called the 14th has (for the time being) made the US the official welfare program for millions of Mexicans and Guatemalans along with the collective other developing Nations sucking at the teat of the US tax payers.


How's that for Culture?
