All of that. as the gentleman from Georgia had mentioned. all of that is the basis of the payment for education in most States. I know for a fact in California. most of the money comes from sales tax and local property taxes for the schools in our State. So please. if you are going to make an honest debate. if you are going to talk about the estimated cost because it only can be an estimated cost. what the estimated cost is of having a child go to school if he or she happens to be undocumented. also mention what is contributed by these families because they are not just languishing. Most of them are providing some payment. Another point: In bad times or in good times. we have had folks in this country who do not have documents who are. as I said before. and everyone will agree. deportable. Bad times or good times. In good times. folks were not saying that they were costing our schools all this money and as a result our kids were not getting educated. our people were not getting their health care.
