Taxpayer Money Used to Educate Mexican Nationals

Over four million spent in Roma alone

ROMA - An estimated 650 kids from Mexico are going to public school in Roma.

They come to America for a better education.

The annual cost of an education is nearly $7,000 a student, which works out to $4,500,000 spent on Mexican students of your tax dollars spent. That's in Roma alone.

The truth is, no one knows the actual money being spent, because no one is actually keeping track.

The reason? Parents only have to prove U.S. residency once. After that, the student is set until they graduate.

Proving residency is as simple as providing a Roma address.

School administrators say they can't ask if a student is a legal U.S. citizen.

Administrators say American students don't "do without" because of students from Mexico. They tell us the district gets state and federal funding for every student, even those from across the border.
