If you start with the assumption that everyone should pay "their fair share" which to me means that you take out of the system roughly what you pay in then consider this.

The state pays right at $6,700 per student in K-12. If you have two kids, then you should be paying in taxes about $13,400 to educate your kids. How much property, income, gas and sales taxes does an illegal worker on a farm pay? Do you think its anywhere near that much.

As we continue to attract low skilled, low educated people, we debase our system further every year.
