Speech #980091708

The gentleman is entirely incorrect when he suggests that school districts and States are enriching themselves by the presence within the borders of their geographical confines of illegal immigrants. in that those people pay sales taxes. Sales taxes are not what support schools. It is property taxes that support the schools in almost every jurisdiction. These people. for the most part. who have come in illegally do not own property. Therefore. they are not on the property rolls. Therefore. the schools are not getting any payment. All we are trying to do is address a very simple problem that exists.
Identified stereotypes
Generalization that illegal immigrants do not own property and therefore do not contribute to school funding.
