Children must be taught and the ailing must be treated. regardless of the cost or the clrcumstances. It Is a burden our communities may neither shirk nor wish away. even though they bear no responsibility whatever for the problem. Nor is it an insignificant burden. In my own Dade County the cost for Nicaraguans alone has been estimated In excess of $100 million. County authorities project the need for $40 million this year for health and education costs for undocumented. status pending. and other entrants. This does not count the longterm capital construction costs of over $140 million for new school space. Similar desperate situations prevail in other parts of the country with the same problem.
