Public schools will be strained if tens of thousands of illegal alien children are allowed to enter, predicts a study released by a conservative black organization.

The vast majority of illegal alien children don’t speak or read English, and that will cost taxpayers more per pupil than American-born children, says Stacy Washington of Project 21.

She tells OneNewsNow: “That per-pupil expenditure assumes that your child is not on free or reduced lunch, that your child is on grade level, that they’re immunized and relatively healthy, and that they’re not going to need a whole lot of special circumstances.”

Approximately 90,000 unaccompanied illegal alien children may enter the United States during the 2014 fiscal year, which ends September 30, according to a draft memo written by a Border Patrol official and obtained by The Associated Press.

That number is expected to expand to 142,000 in 2015 and that will obviously impact schools across the country.

By law the illegal youths must be educated if they enroll in public school, a law that Washington says the Obama administration is enforcing.

“Rather than trying to get it changed,” she says.

While illegal aliens can obtain a free education anywhere they go in the United States, Washington points out that it’s illegal for Americans to send their children to a better school district due to residency laws.
