On the costs of educating undocumenteds children in public schools or for the medical treatment of immigrant workers, the data is even less clear

Ok, so let's try and get this more clear by examining how schools are funded.
Schools are funded by local property taxes upon dwellings and buildings within the school district. How many undocumented workers pay property taxes directly to the local government that fund the schools their children attend? Probably not many since many undocumneted workers don't usually own taxable property, ie houses/ buildings. Their children attend school with very little contribution to the local school system, and none, if their parents work in a completely different school district.
These children, even if there are only one or two per classroom, definitely strain an already overburdened and undefunded school system and are using money that would otherwise be devoted to the children who belong to citizens. It isn't fair to them.
