Responses frequently flowed, unprompted, from the wastefulness of public schools to the drains on the system posed by immigrants. Another parent told me that “it costs us so much money, taking care of these undocumented and even just people who are here temporarily, and medical bills and incarceration… all Kobach is saying is one place we’re spending millions of millions of millions of dollars is on these illegal immigrants. That’s part of the problem with our budget.”
