Arizona Schools Are Bearing the Cost of Biden's Border Crisis

Arizona Schools Are Bearing the Cost of Biden's Border Crisis: 

The math is simple. Arizona spends $11,625 per pupil each school year, and we already know that the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement released 861 unaccompanied alien children to sponsors in Arizona. Assuming all of them enroll in school — which is one of the ORR requirements for sponsors — the state will have to spend more than $10 million to educate them.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Between the thousands of children who enter the country in a family unit and “got-aways” — immigrants who intentionally evaded authorities — the numbers of students and dollars it costs to educate them is even higher.
